republic day 

A national holiday you can celebrate instead of Independence Day if you're a Filipino immigrant.

July 4, 1946 marks the day when the Philippine Islands declared independence from America's posession. It was formerly known to be the country's Independence Day, until it was moved to June 12 to celebrate the nation's independence from Spain in 1898.
Aquino: It's the 4th of July! It's a great day to be Filipino!!
Adam: Why? It's an American holiday.
Aquino: It's Republic Day for the Philippines! If only they sold yellow along with those white, blue, and red cupcakes at Walmart.

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
