Paddy wagon - what is it?

An old station wagon, festooned with rust and riding on bald snow tires. Known as a "paddy" wagon because it is driven by an illiterate, chain-smoking Irish-American blowse named "Erin" to pick up her alcoholic boyfriend "Kevin" and his severely retarded, anti-social brother "Seamus" from the bus station.

I scored a blowjob from Erin in her paddywagon, and all it cost me was a pack of Kool 100's...

Also used in the northern states of Australia, the wankers down south call them divvy vans

I dont like riding in the back of paddy wagons, they dont have seatbelts and for some reason the cops always want to test their brakes when i'm in the back.

Paddy wagon - definition

The term 'paddy wagon' is of English origin due to it's use to pick up drunk Irish louts (paddy's) from pub brawls.

It is commonly used across all prior English colonies including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many others.

Contrary to other postings here, the term 'divvy van' is unbeknownst to any Australia on my extensive MSN list, nor have I heard it in the 47 years I've lived here, so I'd say it's someone attempting to coin a phrase.

Mel Gibson refers to a paddy wagon in a (intended) slip of the tongue (due to Australian roots) in the movie Signs, "We took some of your friends downtown already in the back of a paddy wagon."

Paddy wagon

means "P. D. Wagon"

modern: Van or truck used for transporting prisoners.

Origins of the phrase are not sinister. The origin is from the era of horse drawn box enclosed wagons employed by the Police Department, especially of New York City. These wagons had the sole identification painted on the sides, in large letters the initials P.D. When spoken the term "P.D. Wagon" easily becomes "paddy wagon".

While the word "paddy" may be in modern use in derogatory ways, the development of those meanings are separate and unrelated to the "P. D. Wagon".

These derogatory uses however, have led to fabricated, invented and much more complicated explanations of the phrase "paddy wagon" and while a word or phrase may develop new meanings over time, and thus become valid of themselves, that does not change the true and simple origin as a slurring of the phrase "P.D. Wagon"

At a mass demonstration, spoken by an officer of the law "We've sent for the paddy wagons people. Disperse or stay and be arrested."

Paddy wagon

I nickname given to a vehicle police use to transport prisoners. The name came from the New York Draft riots of 1863. The Irish at the time were the poorest people in the city. When the draft was implemented it had a provision for wealthier people to buy a waiver. The Irish rioted, and the term Paddy wagon was coined.

Patrick, Michael, Sean throw those damnn Irish in the Paddywagon.
