    If you say 'they is 89' rather then 'there is 89'. :p

    That would make you English.

    You're a culchie if:
    You use rope to tie your trousers instead of a belt.
    You watch a GAA match on a Sunday lunch time, then watch the highlights to make sure you didn't miss anything.
    You only bathe on a Saturday night, but only because there is mass the next morning.
    During mass you don't actually go inside the church, you bless yourself with holy water before it and then stand outside the church talking.
    You think no sandwich is complete without a half a pound of butter.

    Or even "there are 89"

    Don't culchies identify themselves to each other by saying "hai" at the end of every sentence?

    "We had a great oul bowout, hai"

    all your going out clothes say 'crosshatch'.

    you go on holiday to amsterdam and 'gettin' a fade o' pints' is your top priority.

    you've a chip on your shoulder because dubs only have to cross the road to buy milk.

    you're concerned about whether the daughter's boyfriend is a praying man.

    you are aware of and deeply interested in different methods for the milking of various animals.

    you deny how shit gaelic football is, even though you're kicking it 50 feet in the air to get a point. out of your hands. ffs.

    you are suspicious of people who don't drink alcohol.

    you agree with the TD that said drinking makes you a better driver.

    You're a culchie if...

    You know every street in Dublin (what is with that? Its like sat nav!)
    You hate hate hate Roma gypsies.
    You drive like a maniac, sober or drunk.
    You think doing doughnuts for hours is great fun.
    You are terrified of Dublin.
    You have a massive horrible celtic tiger house with eight bathrooms and a ride on mower.
    You HAVE to have to keep up with the Jones's and get whatever your neighbour gets (Ride on mower, TDI car)
    You are obsessed with the RED I or a RED TDI!
    You don't feel the cold. Ever.

    Nah, we only have to get it out of the bulk tank before the milk lorry comes in the morning, and it's none of that watered down stuff either.

    I forgot!

    Longstanding feuds with the farmer beside you is the norm.
    Throwing rubbish out your car in a ditch is fine.
    Burning rubbish is ok.

    Wear what was worn in Dublin 2+ years ago.
    Try to immitate the Dublin skanger accent to poor effect.
    Soup up your dirt encrusted 206 with a bachelors bean can.
    Pronounce skangers words with an "OR" sound instead of "AR" sound Ie:
    Dublin) I'll ****in battAR ya
    Culchie) I'll ****in battor ya bhoy
    Think the high point of the weekend is drinking buckie in O'Sheas field or going to the local club filled with everyone from 15-30 from the local town.

    You dont pluralise the word year. "Er about thray year back."

    You refer to town (Dublin City) as 'the town'.

    You wear a GAA Jersey on your first day a college in Dublin as a "tapic 'a canversayshin" with all the other mulchy headed people from your county.
