GUEST,Antóin BS: Are You a Real Paddy or a Plastic Paddy? (43) RE: BS: Are You a Real Paddy or a Plastic Paddy? 17 Jun 00


God bless all the "Plastic Paddies" in the USA and elsewhere. At least they're all seeking something different even if they do get led astray into the cul-de-sac of "Wild Rover" type repertoires. But here's an idea for maybe another thread; does anybody have a description of the many Irish in Ireland (the majority) who conscientiously and deliberately try and copy all things American in music, food and clothes fashions?. There used to be a term, no longer much in vogue, "Seonínism" to describe the Irish who tried to ape everything English. I think there is a need of a special term to describe our present day pseudo-Yanks of the Emerald Isle.
