What is Paddywagon?
1.
A police wagon used for hauling criminals. Often due to the stereotype of Irish (Paddys= Pattys= Patricks) being arrested for public intoxication. Also due to the high number of Irish men employed as police officers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries
2.
a police vehicle in which criminals are taken away in(from paddy, police officer, which comes from the fact that many police officers are of Irish decent)

This is the vehicle you ride in when you are the wingman, and get stuck with the troll from the bathroom. Because it is like a trip to jail!

Wingman: "Oh great, I was stuck in the paddy wagon, falling on the grenade, for you! I think I've wounded my inner child>
