There's a few pseudo-intellectuals floating around AH lately who've made me facepalm with some of their comments on the intelligence of the average AH poster. Why are you posting here then? Slumming it?

I was on a dart that ran over someone. the old posh gentleman beside me said after 30 minutes waiting on the dart 'you wouldnt want to be going to a wine tasting'

wheni was in college in '99 an extremely posh git in my politics tutorial was talking about how people in tallaght didnt vote because theyre so happy to finally have jobs. I ripped the piss out of him and you can tell it was the first time he'd heard a working class accent in his loife loike

A mate of mine was on a train from Dublin to Bray. As the train was passing a field where some men were playing Cricket he turned to his girlfriend and said "oh look honey, Protestants!"

I don't have an exact comment but it's not long ago that some people would not be seen to shop in Lidl

Now the opposite is the case and people are proud of getting bargains

One of the largest Gaelscoileanna (hope that's correct) in the country is in Ballymun

Snobbery would have been one of the cricketers pointing at the train and saying "Look, peasants".:P

My sister used to do teacher training in Blackrock in Dublin, I think the name of the place was Frobel.

She was telling me similar conversations but the term used was "povs"

Pov means poverty means poor people
I've heard pov used on the radio too so some people were using it

Is that snobbery? I know plenty nowadays who don't.

Was hungover with one of my friends running to work in a well to do part of Chicago, effing and blinding due to the heat and headache. A older lady stepped out in front of me and said my language was completely inappropriate for the area. I chose the better part of valor by not replying in a derogatory fashion.




















Instead I laughed in her face because I was half pissed.

Vehicle was a shíty farm jeep and I was parked on a half empty pier the size of a football pitch.

Surely the rising popularity of gaelscoils has nothing to do with the influx of immigrants and everything to do with the resurgence of the language?

Went down to cork for a friends cousins 21st, when we arrived down his other cousin and friends had arrived down to and they were from a well to do part of Dublin, all weekend all we got was sire all yous do is rob cars around there, oh yehs know how to eat with your hands kind of thing and more in a snobbery way than slagging way, in the end we just decided screw it wel play along with it, and started saying how easy it would be to rob there cars, make up storys of breaking into houses etc they soon started squirming and shut up quick enough:D.

In fairness the ball of scrap was hardly in keeping with the village's rustic aesthetic.

Snob: "what kind of wine do you like?"
Me: "Chilean or french or italian, whatever really"
Snob: "Oh i dont drink any old chilean plonk"

Not so much a phrase but a lad (from a very wealthy family) I knew in TCD went into convulsions of laughter about how scuffed my shoes were. Actual holding-sides-and-near-to-pissing-pants laughter.

Suffice to say that when the chance came up to ride his ex at a party a year or two later, I jumped at the chance.

Wine is wonderful stuff. But so many people are put off by the snobbery of it.

Ha, Even the children of immigrants where I live can speak Gaeilge much better than the Irish children and adults and they dont even go to Gaelscoil. And they speak their parents languages too.
