There were also signs that said, “No Micks on the grass.” Irish were called Micks, because so many of their last names started with Mc.
As opposed to “Mack” for the Scots.
I saw a sign in a cafe window in London in 1995 saying “No Micks”. 1995!!!!
Hmmm. I thought it would be O’s.
Police prisoner transport vans are known as “Paddy wagons” in the northeast, and it ain’t because they’re padded inside.
They were called “Thick Micks”.
No lawsuits,no calling the ACLU,no whining.
The Irish just went ahead and proved everyone wrong.
