I’ve seen many people here try to claim that the term paddy is inherently racist
Fucking ridiculous
Jaysus! So I’ve been racist to my next door neighbour since the day I met him.🙈 I’d better let him know.
Down with this sort of thing !
Well, the compile farm takes up most of the day, and at night the site just wants a cup of tea, so it can’t devote itself full time to the aul racism.
I feel that P**dy Power will make an ad of this
Paddy isn’t racist. It’s xenophobic at the very, very least depending on who’s saying it. And you’d want fairly thin skin to be insulted by such a jovial word.
It was the British in their ignorance that created this – In Cork city there is an ‘English Market’ but forgotten now was ‘Paddy’s Market’ as it was called – it was where the Irish traded on Cornmarket Street – Nowadays it’s just called the Coal Quay.
It reminds me of the Christy Moore song (Missing You)- ‘to where your a Paddy, a Biddy or a Mick – good for nothing but stacking the brick’
When I moved to Ireland from the UK, I found it really difficult to call people either Paddy or Mick because of the derogatory association in my head.
Just dont mention the ex Irish goal keeper P. Bonner
I can still say Prody though?
Reminds me of the story my uncle used to tell me when he was in Saipan with a few of the cousins and friends he had from where my grandparents are from in Dublin.
They’d refuse to call him by his name (Paul, bit of ribbing as you do) so they’d call him packie instead after packie bonner.
Problem is, when they’d come over to London and would openly call him packie they’d get awful looks about the place lol
I sent a DM on a forum a few years ago, in which I used the word “Snigger”
It literally appeared on the other person’s side as “Sblackman”. He didn’t know what the hell it was supposed to mean

Is this actually for real. 🤣
P Diddy Chayefsky?
Sound like a talking point from /r/conservative
Probably a mistake by an algorithm or something.
Didn’t know the name Paddy was inherently racist
Very literally an ad blocker.
