Paddy Whacker

A policeman's truncheon or baton. Arose from the misconception that the only reason the Irish came to this country was to get drunk, lay around all day, commit petty crime, steal your women and birth hordes of Catholic children who in turn would lay around, drink and commit petty crime... The only deterrent to this madness being the local cop and his murder stick. See "Paddy Wagon" and "St. Patrick's Day in the U.S."
Alright Seamus... Are you going to come with us willingly or do the five of us need to pull our Paddy whackers?

paddy whacker

A policeman's truncheon or baton. Arose from the fact that the Irish were generally on the wrong side on the law in the New World and as such were often on the wrong end of the paddy whacker.
The policeman subdued the miscreant with his paddy whacker.

paddywhackery

The fakey, out-of-a-box Irishness that insists on the same damned songs and the same damned menu and the same damned Guinness advertisements on the wall of every Irish bar outside of Ireland.
Seen in nearly every film which features a non Irish actor doing an Irish accent. Notable exceptions include Daniel Day Lewis in "In The Name of The Father" and Bradd Pitt in "Snatch".
"Every St.Patricks day Jose liked to emphasize his Irish roots by wearing green, drinking Guiness and referring to the 'old country' but it smacked of Paddywhackery"

Paddywhacked

To commit to do something with someone, only to appease them and not actually do.
Person A: We are going to celebrate a friends' birthday tomorrow night. Join us (insert location/time).

Person B: Sounds goods, I look forward to it. See you tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night comes, Person B is not there. You, believing they would be there due to previous conversation, have been officially Paddywhacked.
