    no calls for this to be moved to the Dublin forum?

    never seems to offend enough to get moved when it's a dub bashing thread somehow. ;)

    Another thing is that the whole notion of classifying anybody outside Dublin as a 'Culchie' is stupid. A person who grew up in the cities of Cork, Limerick, or Galway can't be classified under the same heading as a person from a small rural village. There are also big differences between different regions of the countryside. But to our seventeen bright sparks that Frada mentioned, they're all just 'Feckin Culchies that (insert reference to incest or some form of agricultural activity)'.


    Sense! Sense is creeping into the discussion!


    There are stupid threads on AH. And then there are threads like this. A veritable torrent of stupidity and small mindedness. Bravo lads, top marks, bleedin' magic and whatever other stupid, regional, parochial glib slang that you want to chunder out with. A lot of copping on is in order.

    The northside/southside thing just doesn't exist. Neilstown, Jobstown, Tallagh, Clondalkin, Ballyfermot, Crumlin, Drimnagh, Inchicore, Bluebell, Dolphins Barn are all "posh" southside areas.
    But Clontarf, Drumcondra, Castleknock, Sutton, Howth, Whitehall and Malahide are all pure working class salt of the earth dubs

    ;)

    I like the Dublin accent, I seem to be the only one from the midlands who does.:P
    What I can't stand is the Naas accent, drives me mad altogether.

    to the OP, why do you ask such question?
    is it you want to evaluate the class and background of every Dub you meet on the results of this thread?
    bit pathetic!

    use this ruling, if your sound your sound & if your a cockhead your a cockhead..

    class and background judging is for the cockhead variety btw!

    now run along...

    I think technically anyone from outside Dublin is called a culchie while someone from a small town is either a muck savage or a bog hopper.

    Indeed, I grew up near a tiny Irish village. In my school, the kids that lived in the village were 'the townies' and the kids who lived in outlying farms or in the countryside were 'the culchies'. Fights were commonplace between the groups. The village where the townies lived had one church, one school, and no shops. :)

    Dublin Accent = Scum

    I hate when people say that about the Dublin accent....there's more to a Dublin accent than the scumbag version.
    I was born and dragged up in Dublin and have a soft suburban accent nothing like the tracksuit brigade.
    They don't have the Dublin accent, just a Dublin accent.

    I enjoy the variety in Dublin accents, except for the one recently made up accent (used exclusively by posh kids and arseholes).

    You mean the fake American one? Seriously makes me want to puke.
