So called because to charge the cylinder you had to stand in the cut-outs in the body and jump up and down before tripping the magneto and causing the huge cylinder to fire. The Irish construction workers were so adept at this, and with the rammer being so cumbersome, they could 'ride' the rammer across the site to the trench by remaining stood in the side cut-outs! As a young plant mechanic, I was amazed to actually see this skill in action - Truly, paddy's bike!

Get the rice paddy daddymug. A Paddy Macker is nickname for a joint, could be used to disguise that you will be getting high.
Most people don't know what it means, so someone can say it to their friends, who do know the meaning, when they are trying to tell them they will be getting high without the other people present knowing what they are talking about.

Get the Paddy Mackermug. The phrase originated from the old English nursery rhyme, "This old man". Nick nack or "knick knack" refers to the sound produced when playing the bones, as a musical instrument that later evolved into using metal spoons held loosely between the finger and stroked across a board, a shoe or most commonly the fingers of the opposite hand.
Each verse refers to the common practice in Ireland of of after a feast of lamb or swine, taking the rib bones and fashioning them into a musical instrument, using it as a rhythmic instrument of an impromptu band that might also include a lute and singers.
Paddywhack has several meaning and it is unclear which meaning the nursery rhyme intended. One definition is the tough elastic ligament found in many four legged animals such as a lamb that holds the head up. It was often eaten but is tough and may have been fed to the farm dog and referred to as as a bone. I tend to think it was referring to this definition and think the entire line in the nursery rhyme means that after playing the bones and singing songs after the meal, that the bones and paddywhack was given to the family dog to eat.
