Paddy, meaning tantrum
There is evidence of this meaning here:
 * Origin of "Having a paddy" / "In a paddy"?
 * http://my.telegraph.co.uk/livingoddess/june_2007/having_a_paddy.htm

I accept that these are not Reliable sources, but there are 14,400 Ghits for "having a paddy" so it seems sufficiently notable to include it here. It's certainly old enough not to be a neologism. - Fayenatic (talk) 19:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * This was removed on the grounds that the slang term "paddy" is not mentioned in the article tantrum, but this does not seem a necessary condition for including it here. – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:06, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
