    The whole country falls under the Irish stereotype. No escaping it us poor potato munchers!

    Deflect the stereotype all you want on others. Still the same passport and the same stereotype to the rest if the world.

    Please stop.

    Us culchies would rather not be associated with them.

    I've heard a lot of dirty munster accents in the pubs of Ranelagh. Impure.

    That can't be, sure any boggers in 'Renelagh' tend to put on south dublin accents to fit in :pac:

    I met an Irish lad in Oz who said back home they call him a 'dublin culchie', which translated to something along the lines of 'I have the streetwise element of a towny, but the 'down to the earth-ness' of a culchie, ok he didn't use them words , but thats what he meant.

    I cringed:o...

    would ballbriggan be seen as culchie i mean its all farms around it? barney rock has a pure couuntry accent, it as good as meath!
    how about saggart? loads of sheep around there, and the airport has fields of spuds all around it? how do dubs categorise the farmers from rush,lusk,swords,saggart or lucan? are they not culchies? or is culchieland only outside the pale?
    most people say inside the pale is not culchie, so then 75% of meath is not culchie and 80% of louth, i think a small bit of kildare around maynnoth and celbridge is also inside the pale. the pale border went through my village, it was a garrisson set up to keep the savages back! yet im a farmer from meath! and all these years i thought i was a culchie, better get my ralph lauren shirt on and attend to the horses so

    Yeah the Dubliness is a bit confused in Balbriggan. Although John o'Leary former Dublin Keeper was from there. Most Dubs would definitely view anyone from Skerries as a bit of a culchie, but former Dublin captain Bryan Cullen was from there so we are definitely all inclusive!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
