Blanked page due to inaccurate, midly offensive content. Is is possible for a new page to be written? Or should this article be deleted/redirected as a dictonary entry? Maeve 21:15, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to George, AfroAmericans have a description for EuroAmericans who pat African-Americans on their heads, if it seems to be based on racial perceptions: patty | paddy.

Thaank You.

Paddy, meaning tantrum

[edit]

There is evidence of this meaning here:

I accept that these are not Wikipedia:Reliable sources, but there are 14,400 Ghits for "having a paddy" so it seems sufficiently notable to include it here. It's certainly old enough not to be a neologism. - Fayenatic (talk) 19:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was removed on the grounds that the slang term "paddy" is not mentioned in the article tantrum, but this does not seem a necessary condition for including it here. – Fayenatic London 15:06, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
