No one in Ireland calls it Patty's Day, its Paddy's Day. 2) Irish people don't eat corned beef. 3) No one ever says 'Top of the morning' in Ireland. So there you go have a great one, one and all and for Gods sake don't be calling it Patty's Day, thats just embarrassing When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Andy9o8 0 #6 March 12, 2014 Americans of Irish birth or descent outnumber the population of Ireland by 7 to 1. So Ireland can suck it, we'll tell them what to call things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #13 March 13, 2014 Skyrad 1) Its not St Patty's day. No one in Ireland calls it Patty's Day, its Paddy's Day. I don't know anyone here that calls it "Patty's" day either. Quote (2) Irish people don't eat corned beef. ***Corned beef was a dietary staple for much of the world before canning and modern refrigeration. Even for the Irish. I'm sure it's still available, just as in this country. Now, whether or not they eat if for St. Patrick's Day is another question. for Gods sake don't be calling it Patty's Day, thats just embarrassing agree with you there.

dpreguy 14 #14 March 13, 2014 OK I am getting that you don't like "St Patty's" day, which has always seemed logical to me, as Patty sounds like abbreviation of Patrick. So if you prefer to call it Paddy's Day, who is Paddy? Paddy sounds like the name for a child's stuffed toy or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 38 #15 March 13, 2014 Paddy has always been the (Irish) nickname for Patrick. Patty is the nickname for Patricia. We Americans amaze me, sometimes. Mexicans don't celebrate Cinco Di Mayo much outside Puebla, either. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boomerdog 0 #19 March 13, 2014 Hmmm...never seen it spelled as the former but always the latter. Irish people don't eat corned beef. Do you really mean that the Irish DON'T eat corned beef or don't have a preference for corned beef. No one ever says "Top of the morning" in Ireland. When I was Ireland years ago, I never heard this either but I'm wondering (and this is not a sarcastic question) how you know this? ...but the Irish do eat potatoes! Soooo....all of this not withstanding, there will be corned beef, steamed cabbage and potatoes with home made soda bread for dinner at my table this coming Monday. Guiness too! and just for a bit of Irish trivia..."The term "Paddy Wagon" originated from New York City as the police force was predominantly Irish. As many of the immigrant Irish (probably some of my ancestors) liked to "whoop it up" and get arrested for drunk and disorderly, it was a Paddy driving the wagon and a Paddy or two in the back of the wagon." So I have read. Erin go braugh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,683 #24 March 13, 2014 Skyrad I've never heard it called anything but "St. Patrick's Day" in Chicago, where we have a huge parade (actually 2 huge parades). abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local/chicago_news&id=9463953 beverly-mtgreenwood.patch.com/groups/around-town/p/south-side-irish-parade-2014-survival-guide Of course, we ALL know that St. Patrick was English, stolen in childhood by Irish pirates?...
