What do 'Jock', 'Paddy' or 'Taff' actually mean I wonder. I've always assumed Paddy comes from Patrick but that's purely a guess and not a particularly incisive bit of name calling if I'm right.
- paddy does infact mean patrick, ie. irish.7point34
- paddy wagon is a phrase to describe a police car. stemming from irish cop stereotype7point34
- burkneue75_bold
- I don't know, maybe google will offer some insight.Jnr_Madison
- also possibly referring to the large number of drunken irish immigrants that were carted off to jail7point34
- the 2nd was from wikipedia, both obviously based hugely on irish stereotypes.7point34
- never heard of taff. i'm assuming jock (meaning athlete?) comes from jock strap. or protective cup7point34
- Jock is Scots for John, hence the term. Taff is Daffodils or something isn't it?kelpie

"Hi
I presented the posters at the committee meeting and they loved version #1. Congrats on a job well done!!!The only thing the committee asked for, was if we could please make the logos bigger? I know designers hate that, but I do think they need to be bumped up in size a bit..."

A professor in grad school took me out drinking the night of my thesis review. I had just read his most famous novel the week before, about a writer with dreams of becoming a bullfighter who juggled his time between four very different mistresses. Because the location of each affair was so vivid, I was amazed that night when he brought me to a location from the book, a studio he shared with an abstract expressionist from Mexico City. After a bottle of wine, my professor lined up four rails of coke and blasted off, which was crazy to me in that I had finally been allowed access to his secret world, while I wandered through the rows of canvases, admiring each work. Suddenly he called me over and showed me this little cigar box. Inside was a pair of panties, a video containing one of his sexual encounters, and a beautiful blue vase that contained a dark red liquid. At first I tried to play it off like I was unimpressed, that is until he told me that inside the vase was the blood of one of his mistresses - a fellow student of mine and a girl I had once taken out for drinks, which mirrored probably the best chapter in his novel.
How do you look at one of your heroes again after a sconversation like this? Of course we all have our eccentricites and obsessions - I take photographs as a I way to remember things like this - but he had crossed a line in my comfort zone that made him a caricature some people had always thought of him as: this Mexican writer with slicked back hair and a small ponytail, a black Armani suit, a suitcase of notebooks with poems about tattoos and vampires, and now a cigar box with a vial of blood from his most gothic lover.
It's been three years since I've spoken with him, and writing this now reminds me why I haven't kept up: I feel uninteresting by comparison.
