knick knack paddy whack

Is it weird that what she’s saying is lifted almost verbatim from this 5 year old Reddit comment?

What the fuck.
The presentation though 👀💀😂
This is not what you want to hear as an Englishman when your four glasses down a bottle of Damsen Gin!

The Irish did not live on potatoes ffs, I’m sick of this false bullshit being the narrative. They had loads of variety in their diet, pigs, cows, chickens were all farmed, turnip potatoes, wheat, barley, cabbage, all grown and traded/sold.

Just to be clear, the British stole all the food and left the Irish with potatoes as they were easily grown elsewhere and didn’t need them. The crop failed because of blight, the rest of the food was exported by the British so the Irish starved.

Please, please stop saying we ate nothing but potatoes as it’s a load of bollocks

I believe all children's rhymes should have a dark historical origin.

Oh noooooooo...

I had two shih tzu's named Knickknack and Paddywack.

Watching this, as an Irishman, in my campervan, in my poptop roof, in an Irish campsite, on holidays, in Ireland....... wondering how have I not heard this explanation before and how accurate is it (FYI: Kerry at moment, rain, high-high winds, nearly lost my tent awning, but the beer is still here and chilled).

Sounds like bullshit, and I can't find any legitimate source for these claims.
