@ people who were not born in Ireland and particularly Americans

- It is not Patty’s Day, it is Paddy’s Day. Patty is short for Patricia, Paddy is short for Pádraig which has been anglicised to Patrick.
- It is not Gaelic, it is Irish. In Irish, the language is called Gaelige but that’s pronounced Gwayl-geh.
- Literally no one in Ireland has ever eaten corned beef and cabbage
- We have also never said top of the morning
- If you pinch an Irish person for not wearing green on Paddy’s Day they’re likely to slap you.
- Why do you dye your drinks green?
- It is not “North Ireland” it is “Northern Ireland”. It is not “South Ireland” it is “The Republic of Ireland” or just “Ireland”.
- No, I do not know the Dohertys of Mayo.
- Please, if you must, do things for the craic and not the crack. Cocaine is not a great habit lads.
- Drinks like the “Irish car bomb” and the “black & tan” are incredibly offensive (you wouldn’t drink a “9/11”)

However

- Wearing green is grand
- Having a few drinks is also grand, they don’t even need to be Irish (I drink a Swedish cider most of the time)
- Aye sure queue up some Irish music on youtube it’s great.
- If you want one Irish word to use throughout the day a good one is Sláinte (pronounced slawn-sha) - it’s the equivalent of saying “cheers” before you drink!

All very important

    Indeed. All famines are actually political phenomena. And the Irish “Potato Famine” was the strongest example of that....
