As we get closer to St. Patrick’s Day… I have to share a pet peeve of this Irishman…. people’s incorrect usage… of the word patty, when they should be using Paddy. Paddy is derived from the Irish, Pádraig, while Patty is the diminutive of Patricia, or a burger.

There isn’t a sinner in Ireland that would refer to a Patrick as “Patty”. It’s as simple as that. Read more about this affront at paddynotpatty.com

thank you! HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!!!
