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.

Get the Plastic Paddy mug.A semi-pejorative term for polystyrene plastic figurines and miniature model kits made for tabletop role-playing games and wargame simulations, particularly the popular Games Workshop Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 lines. The "crack" designation applies in that fans of these types of games seem "addicted" to them like a drug, and crave buying, assembling, and painting the models, spending large amounts of money and time in doing so, and anxiously await the latest, most finely-detailed releases.
Also used self-effacingly and endearingly by samesaid fans of these games with a good sense of humor about their "addiction".

"Garth came into the comic shop this afternoon and dropped over $300 on plastic crack. Poor, sad bastard...he must live on soda crackers and peanut butter."

Get the Raspberry plastic tickle bear mug.First coined by DJ Emir as a name used to describe CD playing turntables AKA CDJ's, DVDJs, USB control devices and Ipod DJ devices that pretend to be real turntables. Most of these devices are made of plastic parts. But in this case plastic also has a dual meaning. That second meaning being "fake".
The joke term stems from traditional turntables (Technics 1200's etc) being referred to as "The Wheels of Steel"
The extra time and practice it takes to master the art using the "wheels of steel" vs the "wheels of plastic" tends to create more skilled DJs. The fact that DJs on the "Wheels of plastic hardly ever end up learning the art of Record control also means they usually don't learn the more advanced scratches and turntable techniques associated with Traditional Vinyl DJ Equipment. So the term also makes reference to the plastic / fake nature of the DJ using the wheels of plastic.
Most of the good DJs that actually do use Wheels of Plastic started by first learning traditional turntables and often have the skills associated with that learning. Many others don't and the term really is used more to describe a weak CD DJ and their choice of equipment.
