SF lingo --> Pidgin, part 2: "Da Kine Fashion Edition"

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

SF Parties is to St Patricks Day, as Hawai'i Parties are to New Year's.

Meaning, that here, everyone parties on St. Patrick's Day, but it's quiet on New Year's.
All anyone really does in Hawai'i is where green Aloha shirts on St. Patrick's Day, but you can't find your own house on New Year's until the wind starts blowing.
