I'm Irish American and I don't give enough of a shit to find out the origin of the term, and I don't know any other Micks who would. I don't feel offended, maybe I should check my blood pressure or my pulse to see if I've been microaggressed without my knowledge?

lmao who gives a shit nigga, my entire ancestry is Irish and I still call it a paddy wagon :^) I'm an american not a potato.

I'm pretty sure its referring to a police van, trying to say Irish are drunk and violent and they need to be thrown in a van for a few nights.

I know what a paddy wagon is, but from what I know about American etymology, it's never as simple as "it sounds like this so it means this." Like, Bugs Bunny cartoons have a lot of depictions of Irish cops, that would follow suit as easily as having Irish in the back. It's like the meaning of honkey and cracker, or Hoosier, etc. There's always a story behind each colloquium and it's usually about some rednecks saying something silly.

I'm 1/8 Irish (on my Canadian side) and I find this very offensive
