I guess I don't know what you mean by "shanty Irish" and "Papa Kennedy" and also "60's guy."

BOR's father, William O'Reilly Sr., was a currency accountant with Caltex, an oil company. His mother, Angela "Ann" (Drake) O'Reilly was a homemaker who also worked as a physical therapist.

While hardly well off, the O'Reillys - Mom, Dad, Bill Jr. and his younger sister, Janet - weren't exactly deprived, either. Both children attended private, Catholic schools, and the family sent Bill to Marist College, a private college in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., as well as the University of London for a year, without financial aid.

Yes, his father drove a used car, by choice. The man was "frugal." I think BOR and his sister were raised in a typical Catholic household, although his Mom was a horrid cook. Franco American spaghetti, fish sticks, etc. (My mother would never have served THAT)!

Okay...."shanty Irish" doesn't have to refer to one's parents, but to one's grandparents or earlier and though, yes, a slur, refers to poor immigrants who have yet to manage to become AMERICANIZED to much a degree. This opposed to "LACE CURTAIN IRISH" ( yes, it does, indeed, refer to those with enough money and "class" to have actual lace curtains in at least the parlor window/s ) who had risen in not only wealth, but also in acculturation. Papa ( Joe ) Kennedy never did manage to remove the rough edges, though his wife, Rose certainly DID try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

O'Reilly is/was the first to always talk about his parents and his grandparents ( good for him! ) so those who watched him, through the years, and paid attention, are well aware of his background.

Catholic parochial school, when he was growing up, was NOT expensive. They also cut the price, when a family had more than one kid in the same school/school system. It wasn't ( for the most part, though in NYC and in Chicago there were a few more "elite" such schools )in any way comparable to the "elite" private day schools, that upper middle class ( which the O'Reillys were NOT! ) families sent their children to.

And FYI...spending a year at a college in Europe ( JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD ) doesn't cost any more than one's junior year at the college you are attending. It's NOT as though Bill went, FULL TIME,to the University of London, which t'aint Oxford nor Cambridge, or even THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECCONOMICS !

I didn't post "'60s guy"; however, my assumption of the term, means someone who was an adult/young adult in the 1960s.

And by the time Bill was going to BU and then Harvard...he was a full fledged adult, with jobs, paying his own way.

Granted, I do sometimes use old, NEVER PC ACCEPTABLE TERMS, but hey...they work and I abominate PCism !

I hope that my explanation helped; if it didn't, just say so and I'll try to expand on it. :-)

Who knew? Thanks for the BO-bio!

I did hear him say rather recently that his mom lives in the same house he grew up in and he visits her most every weekend.

I was droning aimlessly about Bill’s alleged remarks to women, saying he was probably a “60’s type” of guy. Men flirted and teased and openly could joke with women back then.

Not anymore.

Thanks for the info.
