pinch

Just like the limerick 'Whisky In A Jar'o', Some things about St. Patrick's day are unclear of it is origin.  We do know that he was British and he was kidnapped by the Irish forced to work as a slave. That is kind of a sad story considering it shaped Ireland's national holiday!

Saint Patrick's Day is a fun day for many reason's. It is a reason to drink. It is a reason to be happy if you are Irish. But other than that it really isn't that big of a deal. But why do people get pinched on this day?
