O/T:- Thick as mince paddies

[SmiffyPie]

I was genuinely wondering what a mince paddy was, I thought it was some new festive treat that I?d not heard of.

Just worked out the thread title is a nationalistic slur so that?s ok then.

Got me on that one. So what word(s) is/are offensive? Paddy? A perfectly acceptable shortening of the name Patrick (Padraig) (albeit between friends or a close circle of people) often used by the Irish. Or is it Mince? or Mince Paddy?
Just found the "Thick as Mince" meaning (a new one on me) and I suppose the two coupled together could be deemed offensive.

When mince paddies first went on sale I couldn't get enough in my shopping Tralee.

That's offensive I think so put a Cork in it!

The poster who started this thread has gone very quiet.

Does he regret it, or will he be Dublin down?

Perhaps he's suffering from a surfeit of mince paddies.
They were enough to kill Arnie.And Kenny,for that matter.

You b@stards !

Probably deserves a Limerick:

There once was a poster on MAD
Who started a thread that was sad
It wasn't much fun
But it inspired a pun
And now he's feeling plain bad
