Normally I would have just deleted it but that'd probably result in loads of complaints so I left it, gowl would be more Galway than Limerick anyway

Nope, definitely a well used word in Limerick. 'He's some gowl' being a very popular phrase

Proper gowls prefer to spell it ghouls.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Stabbies.

Red King

Didn't take long

Shannonsiders sounds about right.

People only pretend they said ghoul when they're 12 and their Mammy catches them swearing ;-)

"WHAT did you just say?"
"Uh ghoul. Cause he's mean like a ghost? I didn't say the other word... swear!"

Gowls is definitely a Limerick thing.
Limerickans or Amazing either will suffice.

People from Limerick should always be refereed to as Sir or Madame....all you peasants should know how to address your superiors.

Limrockers is my preferred term

gotasmoke

I'm going with Limerpudlian

Berty

Da Kid , as in "a boy da kid"

In reality I'm sure it's Shannonsiders even if the Shannon snakes it's way through other counties. Kind of like "lee siders"

MilfordBud

Luimní.

At least that's what the commentators on TG4 call them.

Don't know how you'd do a singular of it.

Gowl would be used more often in Cork in my considerable experience of both cities.

Only to be expected. More of them knocking about down those parts.

A Mod warning for a bit of humour, but a reference to "Stab City" is fine ????

Red King

Odd that alright.

Don't know if this is of any help?

There was a ban issued for that, normally it would have been deleted but people don't always like that.

Also, humour can be subjective and some people may take offence at the word gowl hence the warning.

Devils Advocate - I think far, far, more people from Limerick would be offended by a reference to stab city than being called a gowl Clareman.

I agree, but all I did was put up a warning for other posters, 1 didn't head it an action was taken, normally I would have deleted the post but that can lead to a lot of upset people so I left it up.

In regards to people taking offence, I realize this but all it takes is 1 person to take offence for action to be taken

peckerhead

Limerick people = Easily offended?
Doesn't quite trip off the tongue like the previous suggestions, I'll grant you.

Clareman

Jeez someone posts calling people from Limerick "lady parts" and I think I apply some common sense by letting it slide and issuing a warning to other posters, I thought that'd be the end of it not the main talking point of the thread.

mgbgt1978

TBH I think it was more the fact that a reference to "Stab City" appeared to be acceptable than "Gowls" that annoyed some people.
I know you have said that a Ban was handed out for this but there was no mention of this Ban until there was a comparison made between the two Posts.
