Slash makes faux pas on twitter: is oblivious to Irish culture.


Recommended Posts

Today Slash wished a "Happy St Patty's Day!! iiii]; )'" on twitter.

However unbeknownst to him, "Patty" is actually short for "Patricia" and thusly is somewhat irritating to Irish people. The correct abbreviation is actually "Paddy."

Perhaps an intrepid fan should tweet back and let him know.

Where's your "Kasanova King makes faux pas on MyGNR: is oblivious to irish culture" thread then? KK (who is a great poster) made the same mistake a few days ago. Not trying to be confrontational saber, as I think we get along pretty well, but would you have made a thread about this if it was not Slash who did it?

See here's the problem: people attribute emotion to things which aren't inherently emotional to begin with. I simply made the observation that all Slash knows about St. Patrick's Day is that you get to drink on it. It's just the facts- he doesn't know shit about the origin of the holiday. I just was goofing around. Let's be honest- this section is dead. And no one can challenge me on that assertion. So, I made a thread about Slash goofing up on his St. Patrick's Day tweet. I even requested that someone let him know. See? I'm not just trying to help out Axl. You people have me all wrong.

At least Slash was thoughtful enough to wish his fans something.

I'm kinda glad GN'R's twitter account didn't acknowledge the holiday. It would have read something like this: "Happy St. Patricks Day! Try not to drink too much Nightrain and make sure to have some Patience getting home safe!"

Thanks for saving this thread :lol:
