Paddywhack may be a ligament, but it is also a word commonly used in many English speaking countries to refer to spanking. Related to this, there are "birthday paddywhacks", which are friendly spankings children are supposed to get on their birthday - one gentle slap on the bum for each year of the anniversary. If anyone can find sources for all this, please add it to the article. :) 76.10.164.121 ( talk) 19:31, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Much of this entry needs to be sourced. I actually thought it was a complete hoax, but there do appear to be regional Australian butcher guides that refer to this ligament by this term. But the etymology is doubtful without a better source. The term Paddywhack is well-attested throughout the 19th and early 20th century as a slangterm for an Irishman, obviously related to the slang term Paddy. It seems rather doubtful that this apparently Australian butchery term has a separate etymology from Old English (though stranger things have happened). Without further sources, I might even wonder if the butchery sense of Paddywhack is actually derived from the song and the "dog bone" aspect, rather than having an independent origin. 71.192.14.118 ( talk) 14:10, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
I added some information about the structure of the nuchal ligament. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. If it is not up to snuff let me know! Thank you! Beckjt ( talk) 05:10, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia is a tertiary source. Link to secondary sources making the claims here. If there are none, this is probably false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.115.41 ( talk) 22:40, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
This page is nonsense. The term for the nuchal ligament is paxwax (see https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/paxwax#:~:text=chiefly%20dialectal,nuchal%20ligament%20of%20a%20quadruped ) and paddywhack is at best a modern brand name or a deliberate play on its similar sounding to paxwax by some pet food purveyors. However, at best that is a slang term and is not the definition of paddywhack. This page is creating an urban legend and is simply not true.
There are *no* useful citations here. A google search shows paddywhack branded dog food but that is all. Citation requests have been here for years and no one has found any citations. It needs to be deleted.
