Shamrock Shenanigans Begins

Why Shamrock Shenanigans?




Shamrocks, according to Wikipedia:

• The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland. It is a three-leafed old white clover. It is sometimes of the variety Trifolium repens (a white clover, known in Irish as seamair bhán) but today usually Trifolium dubium (a lesser clover, Irish: seamair bhuí).
  The diminutive version of the Irish word for "clover" ("seamair") is "seamróg", which was anglicised as "shamrock", representing a close approximation of the original Irish pronunciation.
• According to what the Oxford English Dictionary calls "a late tradition" (first recorded in 1726), the plant was used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity.

• Shamrocks are said to bring good luck.

Merriam Webster defines shenanigans:


Main Entry: she·nan·i·gan
Pronunciation: \shə-ˈna-ni-gən\
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1855

1: a devious trick used especially for an underhand purpose2 a: tricky or questionable practices or conduct —usually used in plural b: high-spirited or mischievous activity —usually used in plural

Now, I don't plan on any questionable practices, and I'm not really an underhanded person. I disagree with this definition of shenanigans. I would define shenanigans as practices conducted with a sense of humor, or humorous practices. Shenanigans invokes in me the picture of the twinkle in the eye of an Irish person. I am Irish...very Irish.

I hope to create an interesting, informative exchange infused with a sense of humor.
