Properties with the interior and exterior expensively and elaborately decorated for Christmas on the 1st November, the day after they took down the Halloween decos which had been up since the day the kids went back to school in Sept.
If an estate is named after a priest/bishop/canon
Flats named after an ould rebel.
Lads going around in celtic tops.
Extra rough if there are even dogs with Celtic tops and im talking about the 4 legged kind.
Funny enough those same middle classers are happy enough to buy their cocaine and other assorted drugs off these lads in working class areas and then laugh down at them five minutes later.
Hardly a Dublin thing. The rest of the country constantly mocks Dublin for all its "scrotes" and addicts etc. and the walking dead and how much of a kip it is. So looks like the rest of Ireland inherited these UK traits too.
I’ve never heard someone from outside of Dublin calling someone a “scrote.” It doesn’t happen.
ok well go to Reddit Ireland, that's the only place I hear it really, I think the younger generation use it.
Are you seriously saying the rest of Ireland don't look down on "junkies" and the less well off in Dublin? You're having a laugh.
Do you bais usually just strawman yourselves angry?
Even Google would struggle to translate that.
It come from the UK to Dublin as you imply then it goes on to the urban rest of the country from Dublin.
I don't think it is a uniquely UK or Irish thing for some people to look down on folk you think of as lesser value to society than yourself.
Big sofas and mattress fires on the green at Halloween
Where!? I'll bring the Dutch gold.
Hand painted sign over the local shop, which is neither Spar or Centra but 'Gerry's local' shop. It'll most likely resemble a WWll bunker and everything will be behind the counter which will be protected by a bullet proof screen.
No google needed.
You see, you seem to be angry at something imaginary. A persona of a person you have just invented. A strawman if you will.
You then attack it, in anger, harvesting said emotion.
I also used the colloquial vernacular "bais" to represent a laid back, non urban dialect for the collective term "boys" as of course, you were quoting someone else.
So therefore, "You have made yourself angry by attacking an imaginary person / scenario, haven't you gentlemen?" would be the translation.
Missing signs. No numbers/names on the doors, broken glass or barbed wire on walls.
graffiti on walls, random old bikes lying around with flat tyres, groups of ypung people hanging around on street corners after 9pm.shop,,s ,house,s boarded up,,empty for years.kids collecting wood, anything that can be used to make bonfires at halloween.bags of rubbish ,old beds dumped in random places.

When Lifestyle Sports has an evening wear department.
Which lifestyle sports out of curiosity? I'm getting married soon.
A pair of shoes dangling from the power lines.Or is that not a marker here?
Are they legal? Don't you need a licence to run a raffle?
Travellers settle but do settled people ever take to the roads? Nomad settled?
Union Jack on posts
A flat roofed pub.
People with endless random tattoos.
House numbers painted onto walls.
Having a dog who's surface area is 90% teeth.
That's a weird looking dog. Are you sure it wasn't a crocodile?
People beep their car horn when they see somebody they know.
The constant hum of dogs barking.
Housing estates where pit bull terriers are actually doing the drug dealing. 🤣 No, seriously, when I used to score a bit of hash in the late eighties in Glasgow, most dealers had pit bulls and the most common name to call them was Floyd. That was a giveaway to how rough an area was in Glasgow if all the pit bulls were called Floyd, obviously the dealers favourite sounds was Pink Floyd. :)
Signs that an area is middle class:
EVs and/or SUVs in every drive.
There's a Gaelscoil nearby and the kids have obscure first names in Irish.
Estates have names like you'd see in the Home Counties.
Hum of lawnmowers and ride on lawnmowers in summer.
There's an obligatory Residents Association.
FF/FG with a dash of Green stronghold.
Double barrelled surnamed women stronghold.
