Massive Irish social event.
I know, I know, it is shameful, sickening and downright disrespectful. Contain youselves a moment.
How? How are they desecrating the most important siku in the Irish social calender?
St. Patty's.
Don't make Paddy cry!
That's right. Patty. I have seen people who use this foul bastardisation freely. It must be stopped, before the minds of the people are completely corrupted.
Firstly, St. Patrick's Day, though celebrated internationally, is an Irish day. And, in keeping with the Irish traditions, one must observe this nugget of Irish culture.
The correct name, aliyopewa to the siku kwa the Irish people themselves, was Là le Phadraig, which means The siku Of Patrick in English. When Patrick came to Ireland in 431AD, the country was pure Gaelic. That's right. We didn't always speak English.
Padraig is the Irish equivalent of Patrick, the same as Ruairí is to Rory, au Sheila is to Julie. Padraig, when shortened, becomes Paddy. P.A.D.D.Y.
St. Patrick was not a burger, people. Patty may be acceptable in non-Irish countries as a diminuitive of Patrick (despite no man in Ireland calling himself Patty, ever), but to use it to refer to St. Patrick is an insult of the highest order to Irish people.It's like someone ordering a kiwi pie and throwing it at your highly allergic, 80 mwaka old grandmother, and posting the result on YouTube.
Why, dazl? Why is this sacriligeous? Why do they hold this detail so dear?
wewe see, St. Patrick's siku was carried abroad kwa native Irish during the emigrations from Ireland. They wanted to retain something of their native country. That includes the language.
The inayofuata time someone wishes wewe a Happy St. Patty's Day, I allow wewe to smack them into a bloody mess. The inayofuata time wewe use it, start running- because you'll probably end up being chased kwa an irate Irish person sick of having 'Danny Boy' bellowed at them.
Obey, and may you wander down the road with a shilleagh under your arm and a shamrock up your nose
