paddy spec

A medium or large (by European standards) saloon (that's a sedan, for you West Pondians) car with the absolute base level of equipment and trim. Purchased because having a crap larger car is supposedly better than having a well equipped but slightly smaller car. During the 1980s and 1990s major car brands actually produced special de-contented models for the Irish market, due to the very high taxes on cars and the poverty of the country at the time, but Paddy Spec is a 21st century phenomenon by people who should know, and can afford, better. The epitome of Paddy Spec is a base model Toyota Avensis diesel owned by a farmer.

rice paddy power

An elusive power only possessed by the pure Asian (esp. of non pale skin). It allows astonishing powers in Math and Science. The power has been confirmed by celebrated author Malcolm Gladwell in his book, Outliers. The power allows for all stereotyped Asian properties and excels in giving super math skills when compared to pale skinned humans.

Plastic Paddy

A Plastic Paddy is someone who claims to be Irish but never actually been to Ireland. Usually these people have a overly romantic view of Ireland. They are surprised when they go to Ireland and discover modern conveniences like shopping centres and WiFi.

They'll often try to claim to be related to a famous Irish king like Brian Boru as if it's something unique even though Brian Boru could potentially have over a million descendants.

They may ask Irish people abroad do they know "Thomas from Cork, or Mary from Kilkenny", as if Ireland is one giant village where everyone knows each other on a first name basis.

They call the Irish language "Gaelic" and often have misspelled tattoos in "Gaelic". It's not uncommon for plastic paddies to mistake elements of Scottish culture with Irish culture such as the wearing of kilts. Calling yourself "Irish" when you have only a modicum of Irish heritage may be way trying to justify your alcoholicism or enhancing your chances of becoming US president.
