So I probably just won't write anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-its-actually-paddy-not-patty#post-640542 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:41:25 +0000 swurlygurl 640542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just learned this last year too, from Facebook.</p> <p>Is it bad that I still type Patty even though I know better? Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-its-actually-paddy-not-patty#post-640535 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:39:44 +0000 MediaNaranja 640535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did know this :) Growing up, we had a very good family friend who was an Irish priest named Patrick (Paddy). He made it clear that it was Paddy, not Patty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-its-actually-paddy-not-patty#post-640529 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:38:40 +0000 Boogs 640529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>But isn't it short for Patrick? How do you get paddy instead of paddy from that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-its-actually-paddy-not-patty#post-640517 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:36:56 +0000 derevival 640517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow.

Right there with you - totally thought people who wrote "Paddy" were idiots! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-its-actually-paddy-not-patty#post-640499 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:34:01 +0000 autumnlove 640499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-its-actually-paddy-not-patty#post-640491 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:32:37 +0000 lawbee11 640491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know this until last year. So for 26 years I said St.Patty's Day, not St. Paddy's day. I discovered this because I am Facebook friends with a very intelligent girl that I went to college with. We were just acquaintances, but she was super smart (and now she's a history professor). She had something about "St. Paddy's Day" in her Facebook status and I thought, "What an idiot! I can't believe she spelled it that way!" Well, I did some Googling and it turns out I'm the idiot! Did you know it's actually "St. Paddy's Day"?? </p> <p><a href="http://paddynotpatty.com/" rel="nofollow">http://paddynotpatty.com/</a> </p>
