A dated and offensive expression generally used by English people to describe someone having an over the top strop. Offensively refers to Irish people as "paddys" and their "over the top sulking" when it came to the English stealing Irish land, pillaging and their refusal to grant the Irish their independence for a long time. It implies unreasonableness, obstinacy and an inability to control the temper (which go nicely with drunkeness and violence of course). Outdated expression thats up there with the likes of "working like a black"
