Great Job WAM, you nailed the answers for question 2, 3, and 6.
You were real close on question 1, 4 and 5.
1. The Irish tricolor flag, created in 1848, was designed to reflect the country's political realities. Orange stands for the Irish Protestants, green for the Irish Catholics, and white for the hope that peace might eventually be reached between them.
2. Irish Coffee was actually invented in San Francisco, not Ireland.
3. Ireland has several nicknames. The most common is The Emerald Isle, but it is also known as The Old Sod, Four Green Fields and The Bower.
4. The 1800's term "Paddy Wagon" got its name because when drunken Irishmen were arrested, they all claimed their name was "Paddy". (Similar to John Doe today)
5. St. Patrick was not Irish. His father was Italian and his mother was a Scot. St. Patrick was actually born in Scotland.
6. The Celtic harp is Ireland's official emblem and the only musical instrument used as a national emblem.
