I've heard Saint Paddy's day being bandied about a lot too. I won't stand for it. To me it's either ' Saint Patrick's day' or 'Paddy's day.'

Get tae fuck. I've never heard it called anything other than St. Patricks or St Paddy's.

Why call it just Paddy's? Of all the useless picks I've ever know paddy is a name that crops up too often. Why should they be commemorated on March 17th?

I probably have but just assumed they were saying St. Paddy's
