For the 3rd year running, I offer you this warning:
Please, for the love of all things deep fried and layered in chocolate – do not let me hear you say “St. Paddy’s”.
The man was a SAINT, people. You didn’t know him personally and therefore you don’t get the privilege of calling him by some lazy and cheap nickname, any more than you’d call Mother Teresa “Tess”. “Yeah, Tess and I threw a couple back at Moe’s and Joe’s last night. That woman can put away some PBR’s…and you should hear her belch Freebird!”
The fact that Cindy and Karen say they call her “Momma T” is hysterical and completely beside the point.
Really. I have a shrimp fork handy and I’m not afraid to jam you in the nads with it.

What if you aren’t catholic or think he’s imaginary? Can you call it St. Patty’s Day?
‘Cause I do. I guess I’ll have to be happy with the shrimp fork stabbing.

Were I a deity, I wouldn’t be sweating people contracting my name.
This reminds me of “you wouldn’t call your country a cunt, so don’t call your fraternity a frat.” I might call my country a cunt, were it acting like one. I’d even say “See you next Tuesday, America!”

I found a contrary opinion – this person says “St. Paddy’s” is acceptable, as long as it’s not “St. Patty’s”:

“Paddy is derived from the Irish form, Pádraig, hence the appearance of those mysterious, emerald Ds.”
Do you care to comment?

HA! Dave C. you’re so right! I probably wouldn’t care either. Those are great examples and I do love love LOVE to say “see you next Tuesday”. My older brothers taught me not to say “frat” as well…
Myvote: Paddy is OK if you’re Irish and if it’s actually your name. Personally don’t care for people calling me Margie, Megan, Marge – because it’s not my name.
