My fellow Americans, are you wearing green for Saint Patrick’s Day?

36 comments

1. Wearing green, but that’s in support of my Baylor Bears!

2. No. I have no Irish ancestry, so I never got into the whole St. Patty’s Day thing

3. my watch is green, but it was completely unplanned.

4. I’m in the military, I kinda have to.

5. Nope, but I will be drinking a drink I started making in 1980 for the occasion. Vodka + orange juice + blue curacao(deep blue color) equals a very green drink. [It appears to have a name, blue paradise](https://tipsybartender.com/recipe/blue-paradise-2/)

   Pineapple juice and triple sec optional

   Edit – my background is so Irish that Ireland Road led to both grandparents house’s.

6. Probably not, but dinner will be corned beef & cabbage.

7. I’ll throw on an MSU hoodie, god knows I have enough green in my closet from those days.

8. I looked around for some green for us to wear but I didn’t see any items quickly. So instead I added green food coloring to some bisquits, so the green is inside for me and my kids! That counts, right?

9. Yup but my only green shirt says Mexican really big. So I am wearing green but I guess more refrencing Mexico than the Irish lol. No disrespect to the Irish, just the only green shirt I have.

10. I don’t usually because I’m not Irish. But I sleepily reached into my shirt drawer and put on the first thing I grabbed. Which was green. 😂

11. negative. its always my Donegal GAA jersey. family crest on the left sleeve.

12. Head to toe. Green hoodie, green joggers, green shoes.

    But my job was having a spirit week and I go hard for spirit weeks.

13. Yep, my favorite rugby Jersey

14. Yup!

15. All Green like I’m Grove Street

16. Married into an Irish family so…this is my life now.

17. I’ve got a green t-shirt underneath my Irish wool sweater.

18. I am.

    We also had a leprechaun problem this morning.

19. I was pinched by my sister once at 8, never again.

20. I moved out of Chicago and have recently gone sober so I completely forgot this was a holiday.

21. I’m not trying to get pinched.

22. Nope. Wearing a Slayer shirt.

23. I’m wearing my trusty old green and black flannel and headed to Boston for some shenanigans!

24. No, never have. Years ago, when I was at work, this guy I detested pinched me because I had failed to wear green on that day. I genuinely hadn’t paid attention to what day it was, for me St. Patrick’s has no meaning, it was just another Tuesday or whatever.

    I slapped him so hard his nose bled. Might have been broken, but who cares.

25. I’m wearing a green scrub top! I’m a nurse at a doctor’s office.

26. I am the only one at work wearing green. And it’s a bright obnoxious green too

27. I just happen to have some Packers gear on so kinda yeah.

28. Absolutely. But also, I kind of want to get pinched.

29. I threw on green scrubs today for work

30. I doubt I’ll get pinched at Costco or the neurologist’s office so I’m probably going to risk it.

31. Nope, Orange!

    For those who are unaware, green represents catholics, orange represents protestants, and the white stripe represents the peace between the two.

32. Forgot, but I put a ton of corned beef in the oven. Don’t tell me that’s not Irish. It’s what my immigrant ancestors could afford when they first came here. Weird that it’s now super expensive and we only get it this one week of the year when it’s on sale

33. My mother, whose own mother was Irish, would have it no other way.

    My grandmother denied her Irish roots; she “married above her station” during a time in American history when many looked down upon the Irish. At a young age my Mom found she could play up her Irishness and in doing so could irritate her own mother.

34. Full green body paint and nothing else. Look for me on the evening news!

35. Don’t even own green and I’ve never been pinched. I’m in Boston and if I don’t get pinched here, I don’t think I’ll ever be pinched 🙁

36. No. There are 3 days I refuse to work as a bartender.

    New Years Eve

    Cinco di Mayo

    St. Patrick’s Day

    They’re all ridiculous and are “made up” holidays to give an excuse for people to go get shit faced, spend money, become a problem and conveniently “don’t have enough for a tip.”

    I’m celebrating Italian Unification Day and eating spaghetti and meatballs.
