St. patrick's day? why you guys pinch?
this is not a question about travel. but i couldnt get any ans at st. patrick's section.
so please kindly answer this question :)
why you guys pinch someone who doesnt wear green that day?
any tradition?
that's only in the us?
thank you :) Additional Details thank you very much :D
I think kids wanted to touch each other when they were little -- so the pinch was born. No green -- ah ha, fresh target.
It is an American holiday, brought with the Irish immigrants as a memorial to home.

We don't pinch in Ireland. You'd want to be mad - some of those women have a vicious right hook! I know, I'm one of them!

Its just a little tradition people started before.
Its really no big deal. Hey, i live in the CNMI (look it up), we pinch here. And i am Irish. Its just some old tradition. Its just like shaking hands with someone. You just do it naturally. Dont have a cow.

Polilical conundrum...
It's an American tradition not an Irish one, I'm not sure how it started but it has been going on for years in the states.

that's an AMERICAN tradition. It has nothing to do we us! Other than it is done on Paddy's Day.
