Going on the other thread that is running. Is it PC to call the Irish Paddy's?

[sandyRoe]

Maybe not. What about Micks, instead?

[NOX]

I'm good with Paddy's, micks for me is usually slightly less so, but if it's meant well you can call me whatever you like.
Drink plenty of Guinness- that's an order:)

[welshlibranr]

Nox. That's what I said in the other thread. If the person you are addressing as Paddy, Mick etc doesn't find it offensive then why do the PC brigade butt in.

[flobadob]

NOX, where did you see them?

[NOX]

They were supporting at the In Extremo 2 day festival in Erfurt last year, bloody excellent they were too.

[NOX]

You're right micmac, very little offends me that people call me, but anything can be offensive, it all depends how it's meant, not what words are used per se.

[flobadob]

Happy Paddy Mickey John Joe's Day micmak, you little green irish turd. Is that okay?

[ummmm]

I don't find it offensive either.

[mrs_overall]

Top of the morning to you all

[EDDIE51]

You do not seem to hear the expression 'Bog trotters' much now , that is offensive.

[NOX]

As I said it's all to do with how it's meant rather than what is said, my wife has on occasion been known to call me a bog trotter or a spud muncher (affectionately), now 'Taig' is another word entirely- can't think of a way that's ever been used to be nice to anyone. I'd be offended by that.

[ummmm]

Spud muncher...lol...haven't heard that in ages :-)

[mike11111]

Taig is a Northern Irish word now used to describe Roman Catholics so it has sectarian and derogatory overtones.

[marval]

A happy St.Patrcks day to you all.
