Hi, everybody! My name is Alisha, welcome back to Holiday Words. Today's holiday is
1

00:13
St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 14th
2
13000

00:17
and it is a very popular holiday in America, so let's learn a few words about it.

Irish-Americans So st. Patrick's Day comes from Ireland, and
4
22480
4289
00:26
people from Ireland are called Irish people. Irish-Americans, therefore, are people whose
5
26769
5490
00:32
families came from Ireland to America, and now they live in America. So St. Patrick's
6
32259
6111
00:38
Day may be an important holiday for Irish Americans. But America is unique in that sense
7
38370
5770
00:44
that people from other countries come and become American, but maintain their original
8
44140
6579
00:50
nationality in their original cultures, heritage as well.

To pinch Ok, so the next word on the list for today
10
54210
2890
00:57
is “to pinch”. To pinch, this seems like a very strange word,
11
57100
3630
01:00
this is a verb but the reason to pinch is on our list today is because the rule is,
12
60730
6060
01:06
at least depending on the people that you're surrounded by, if you are not wearing green
13
66790
4700
01:11
people are allowed to pinch you. So a pinch is usually just a small, this motion with
14
71490
6430
01:17
your fingers. If you are wearing green I think there's a rule, isn't it? Oh my gosh! Look
15
77920
5210
01:23
at what we've found! A rule! A set of rules! Look how long this is! Rule number 1, must
16
83130
5550
01:28
be wearing green in your clothes, not including green nail polish, green hair barrettes, and
17
88680
4960
01:33
green stars are all examples of things that do not count; “do not” is in capital letters
18
93640
4630
01:38
here. Thus, you will be pinched. Generally wear green or get pinched, these are your
19
98270
6529
01:44
two options.
