Pet peeve

[Larry124]

I received the email also.

Pro: What do you expect from a site that features a salesman in a kilt and sport coat; with the kilt worn over the knees and the (white!) hose worn too high?

Con: Saint Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday. “St. Patty's Day” is a USA secular holiday. It is what it is.

IMHO Irish-American heritage frequently exhibits the extremes of what my family has for decades (in a equally finger-wagging way) pejoratively labeled “Lace Curtain" vs. "Shanty”. In the Scotch-Irish USA Appalachian music community it's often called “Saturday Night – Sunday Morning”.

I'd be surprised if there isn't a Scottish or Scottish-North American equivalent.

Perhaps it's part of all heritages.
