    Yes.

    If you have a northern accent, you're a nordie.

    Nordies aren't culchies though.

    There are three broad divisions of people in Ireland: dubs, culchies and nordies.

    You can live on a sheep farm out the back arse of nowhere in Co. Armagh but your nordieness still supersedes your culchieness.

    I lost most people consider someone a nordie that has the nordie accent. Donegal I would. Monaghan not so much as its kinda a mix of culchie and nordie. Cavan no. That's culchie. Actually some of the soundest people I know and have talked to are from Cavan.

    The question is which has higher social status a culchie or a nordie:)

    Nordies are a bit more prestigious on account of the fear they induce

    The fear of having to listen to their accents for more than 30 seconds.

    I've only recently heard of the word, what's it about? is it because it is often pronounced 'Nordon Arland'? If so, then it's only 6 counties who are 'nordies'. Donegal have a close link with history so it's confusing

    Donegal accent is not as broad as other counties in Ulster.

    I think it's terrible that you feel the need to label boggers like that.

    Cavan people - every penny is a prisoner.

    An Cavan man goes into a Chemist. He says to the assistant - I have a headache, have you any paracetamol. Certainly sir, she replies. Would you like 50 or 100? No, the Cavan man says, just the one. I've only got one headache.
