spud nigger, Irish acoustic punk band

Spud Nigger (spʌd nIg ər) 1. An extremely disparaging and offensive term for a person of Irish origin. This phrase recalls that the Irish have been victims of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks in the USA, being economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised and regarded as contemptible, inferior and/or ignorant.

2. A reference to Irish potato farmers during the height of the Irish potato famine. Potatoes turned black in the ground due to blight, a phenomenon which also led to the phrase, "Black 47," referring simultaneously to the blight and the year at which the Irish famine reached its zenith.

3. From the Irish, "práta dubh" (prathə dʌv) Literally, "black potato."

4. A useless, drunken Irish punk band from Athlone.
