paddy and paddy wagon - Irish... some of us think it’s an anti-Irish slur, born from a time when we were discriminated against in the U.S.
Some relate it to the mid-30’s NY City because the Irish held a lot of cop jobs.
Still not sure if the use is because a lot of Irish were cops or a lot of Irish were arrested.
Also it is what blacks called whites in america for awhile....
and we have long memories...some of us still haven’t gotten over Cromwell and we are still a little touchy.. :)
