The origins of Paddy Hunting Day are nothing to do with the persecution of the Irish. The origins of the term date to June 24th 2008 when Patrick Sinclair of Stornoway, Outer Hebrides went out walking on a day he should have been rehearsing for a play. Regulated Paddy Hunting involves giving the subject a 20min head start and then pursuing them in a Skoda, preferably cross-country, rally style to the accompanyment of blazing horns.
Paddy Hunting Day taunting involes slapping the subject on the head repeatedly, poking them with the business end of a broom or running them over with a Skoda
