One who calls the real football, 'soccer'.

WTF is this problem with "soccer"??
Do you even know where the term comes from?

Back in the day there was football. Then some bloke at some public school picked up the ball and ran with it...and a new form of football was born.

You now had

1. "Rugby" football, where the ball can be handled, and

2. "Association" football, where it cannot be handled.

Kids nicknamed Rugby football "Rugger" and Association football "Soccer".

What is your damn problem with that?
Do you have a problem with people referring to Rugby as "rugger", or football as "footy" or Gaelic Games as "the gaaah" ?

And anyone with a non-Dublin accent is a culchie. Period!
D4s don't qualify. They're just ****. Also exempt are feckers from Norn Iron. They're just Nordy bollixes.

No there is not. Its a term for an Irish person not from Dublin. Sin e.

This sums it up perfectly.

Among the best known examples of primate cities are alpha world cities are Paris, Dublin and by most measures London.[6] Budapest[7] and Vienna[8] have also been described as primate cities. Bangkok has been called "the most primate city on earth", being forty times larger than Thailand's second city.[9]

This is all relative. I notice that many very successful countries dont have primate cities.
