How to celebrate St. Patrick's Day:
*Wear green
*Pin a shamrock to your hat
*Speak with a
brogue
A strong dialectal accent, especially a strong Irish or Scottish accent when speaking English.
*Wear
brogues
Brogues, often called wingtips in the USA, are low-heeled
shoes that are made of heavy and untanned leather, said to have originated in Scotland.
*Drink Irish beer and spirits
*Wish your friends and family "Top o' the morning to ye" and every so often cry out "
Erin go bragh!" (Ireland forever)
*If you're a mayor, dye your town's rivers green and paint your lane markers green.
