real culchies

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

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.

Is there a difference between culchie and bogger?

Everyone from Mayo is a culchie/bogger.

Just wanted to make sure I hadn't been labelling people incorrectly, y'know.

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.

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!

Boggers reside in the Midlands.

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.

The 'culchie' is almost obsolete what with the internet an' all.
