    Someone who grew up in the country, village or small town.

    Eats hang sammichs and tae out of the boot of the car on the way to the match.

    Adds a "h" to words such as "stick" turns into "shtick"

    Road frontage is important when lookin for a fella.

    Hearding the cattle.

    Bringing in the horses.

    Owning a pair of green wellies for the fields, not fancy ones for music festivals.

    Culchie & proud :cool:

    I remember being in The Big Tree after a Croker match one day and I was talking to a lad I know from the country. He had blue jeans on and shoes. I thought "I bet he's wearing those shoes to get into the 'disco' later on". He then said that he was.

    You just know one.

    I was in Liverpool at the weekend and none of the ladies were impressed with my 25 good acres and an acre and a half of rough ground.

    Apart from one Welsh wee cuttie.

    Funny eh?

    I see. So you would consider yourself a culchie in the eyes of people from Shanghai, Beijing, Mumbai and all the other cities that are larger than the tiddlers you lived in?

    A culchie is someone who heads straight for Coppers the minute they arrive in Dublin with sandwiches wrapped in tin foil in their pocket. Usually wear a shirt under a round neck jumper.

    You are a culchie when you can watch D'Unbelievables and genuinely know someone exactly like the characters being portrayed.

    When the boss asks a question you say "shure that does be the way I do be doing it"

    You are not named Anto or Jaaaaaaaacinta. And you have supper, you would never shout "come in for yar taaaaaaaaay" as you hear in the rough parts

    You buy Toyota as everyone knows the Japs make the best cars

    You shall never ever buy a car with a reg plate from the neighboring county. GAA reasons

    You don't know how an americano or a pannini is made and you have no desire to ever buy one

    You are aware that a Massey is classy but a Zetor is better

    It's ye, not yous

    County first, country second

    During championship season you write good luck in chalk on the main road in the village

    You will write messages in white paint on silage bales and you might even paint your sheep if they are going to the show. The show, yes everyone knows the show, it's once a year

    Your TD will attend your funeral, it's a sleight if they do not!

    Your parish priest will talk about GAA in the sermon

    You read the death notices every week and check them on local radio

    One of your lifes goals is to build your own house on your site. That site has been promised to you since you were a young lad :)

    You think Dublin drivers are far too aggressive and impatient. What's the rush? So your stress levels increase if you have to go there. Not their fault, just pushy city folk.

    People who wear their county jersey when they go abroad to identify themselves to fellow boggers and to let the natives know that they are Irish and "great craic".

    Their main topic of conversation will be "What pubs are showing the match ?"

    real culchies

    Real and original culchies are from Kiltimagh. The rest are culchie-lite or boggers:p:pac:

    Nope. It's the cosmopolitan nature of a city that makes it what it is. Beijing and Shanghai are great cities but hardly very cosmopolitan(and yes I've been to them) as they have quite a homogenised feel to them and not much in the way of international influence. as for Mumbai, any city where there are millions of people living in rubbish dumps can't really be considered sophisticated or cosmopolitan. All the cities I lived in, though, can.

    Dublin just has a small town, culchie feel in comparison.

    This will just result in the bog warriors taking pot shots at the fine, clean, morally righteous, upstanding citizens of Dublin.



    I kid, I'm well aware that I live in a junkie hive.

    Are you looking for geographic/regional boundaries are what?

    A culchie is someone who is considered by someone not a culchie to display traits common among rural folk that are significant to Ireland. A thick accent along with a quintessential Irish attitude and deportment. It depends on the person who is using the term or designating some one as a "culchie", whether they themselves are county folk or whether they are city dwellers as to what they would classify as a "culchie" but it usually includes the above.


    Ahh here, down with this talkin' sense malarky. There be no place for it round here!

    I will give you New york and London as cosmopoiltan, but Manchester??

    Dublin is more cosmopolitan than Manchester, and that is coming form a culchie not an over defensive dub.

    Limerick and galway arent cities, waterford is most definitely not, cork is just barely a city, more like a large town, Dublin is the only true city and thats not even big.
