Drive 4x4's in town to drop the kids the 200 yards to school.Do the shopping while drinking coffee (as opposed to shoplifting while drinking dutch gold).
Shop in Lidl because they can't afford to shop anywhere else anymore.

Love 'em. Nothing better than a nice comma.

1. Calling Blackrock, "The Rock" & thinking that makes it cool.

2. Having sexual fantasies about Brian O'Driscoll & Paul O'Connell getting it on in the shower.

3. Ryan Tubridy.

4. Paying €5 for warm milk with a hint of coffee in it.

5. Heino.

fonecrusher1 · 06-10-2010 8:01pm

Let on that they're very proper & well to do but snort coke every time they go to the bathroom.

Drive around like maniacs in giant SUV's with one child in the back. Cause OMG like they totally feel safer in them right.

Wear rugby shirts even though they've never even been to a rugby game but consder themselves longtime 'rugby people'.

Buy their children ridiculously expensive presents which inevitably contributes to them becoming spoiled cynical monsters by the time they hit sixteen & then wonder why they turned out that way.

Lots of beige & pastel coloured clothes. V necks & chinos.

Very expensive & fast cars that they can't really drive properly.

barochoc · 06-10-2010 8:03pm

Sounds like the average person during the "Celtic Tiger" years to me guys.

Too many people sold out & pretended to be something they're not.... & we all know plenty of them

Ruu_Old · 06-10-2010 8:10pm

Making up names for their houses (Cherryville Manor or the like.

)

Qualitymark · 06-10-2010 8:17pm

Calling their children Irish names and then mispronouncing them:

Sorcha (correctly pronounced surrakha) - Sore-ka
Caitlin (correctly pronounced catleen) - Kate-lin
Saoirse (correctly pronounced seersha) - Shore-sha
etc

silverspoon · 06-10-2010 8:22pm

Is this just a thinly-veiled disguise for a list about D4s?

kuntboy · 06-10-2010 8:25pm

Laugh at upwardly mobile skangers pathetic attempts to emulate their accent.
Laugh at skangers pathetic attempts to put them down
Laugh at skangers who say "derz no such ting as de wurkin claz! Oi iz just as good as dem poshies ind oi iz goin to show dem who iz de bossman now, weeerrrrrrr!!!"
Revel in their inherent superiority over deformed skanger subhuman mutants.

Social Disorder · 06-10-2010 8:29pm

Wear inches of make up, paint themselves orange and dye their hair blonde. All covered in a tracksuit with "Juicy" on the bum and ugg boots.

pebbles21 · 06-10-2010 8:29pm

Pink jumpers draped around their ralph lauren shirts

strobe · 06-10-2010 8:58pm

18. Pay a fortune for nice fashionable clothes and then some how match them so they look awful.

19. Pretend to know how the economy works, memorise words or phrases they saw in the Guardian and then repeatedly use them incorrectly for full effect.

20. Mispronounce the names of all foreign wines and foods. Correct people that pronounce them correctly.

21. Complain about people taking government handouts they don't need and then spend their child allowance on a pink top and yellow skirt to go with it, a copy of the Guardian and a bottle of Moët (pronounced moe-way).

Celly Smunt · 06-10-2010 9:02pm

"Howard! It's Bateman, Patrick Bateman. You're my lawyer so I think you should know I've killed a lot of people. Some escort girls in an apartment uptown... uh... some homeless people maybe five or ten. Uh... Some NYU girl I met in Central Park, I left her in a parking lot, I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nailgun and... some man, some old ****** with a dog last week. I killed another girl... with a chainsaw... I had to, she almost got away. And there... was someone else there I don't remember, maybe a model, but sh- she's dead, too. And, uh- PAUL ALLEN. I killed Paul Allen with an axe. In the face"

Coffee was a staple of the working class long before tea you know

The Express · 06-10-2010 10:22pm

- BT bags on the parcel shelf of the car

- Having a Ballsbridge Motors sticker on the back of the car

-RDS membership sticker on the windscreen

-'Orange daughters' with onion hairstyles; sons called 'mork'

-Never, ever walking past the Westin on college green. The absolute outer limits of the south side yuppie.

- Saying 'how are yooou?' but not actually meaning it.

- The 'when did you get down' question when the meet fellow yuppies on weekends in the west.

fonecrusher1 · 06-10-2010 10:37pm

The funny thing about yuppies is the fact they're often quite stupid.

Their wealth has very little to do with intelligence or school acomplishments or being successful in business, its generational wealth. Homes, businesses & various other assets are passed from father/mother to son or daughter.

:pac:

Nope. This kind of behaviour (with associated accent) is much in evidence down here in culchieville too. It's not geographical. Pomposity knows no borders.
