a shockingly still used today racist slur against the hot tempered Irish exclusively used by the English when their child has a tantrum
It is what some people want it to be. It would seem that it started out as describing a vicious person: gaoler or sailor who had a dislike of the Irish and would single out any Irish person for punishment; he was a Paddywhacker! In other words he would hit and hurt an Irishman/woman. He might have been English, Welsh, French or German but to those he was hurting he was a Paddywhacker. He would hit out in a rage and this would be shortened as 'in a Paddy'
