    I blame Ronnie Drew.

    I was reading about this before and it's pretty fascinating. The northside around Parnell and Mountjoy squares were the fancy spots until Leinster house was built in the early 19th century, then all the rich folk followed over Southside and the Georgian northside buildings were converted to tenements, hence becoming the "rough" side. I may have the finer points of that wrong but that's roughly it.


    You're not far off. And Capel Street used to be one of the most sought after addresses in the city. Very wealthy.

    It's always been a confection generally as there are plenty of nice areas on the northside and rough ones on the south.

    It probably comes about from the relative neglect of the north city centre vs the south city centre but even that has changed in recent times.

    The best one is when you see somebody, usually culchies, referring to somebody having a 'Northside accent'.
    Whatever about northsiders or southsiders or whatever-siders-you're-having-yourself, those Dubliners that refer to people outside Dublin as "culchies", come across as totally narrow-minded, ignorant individuals.

    I remember being youngin the early 2000's and a group of Northside lads and a group of Southside lads would have battles on one of the bridges at the liffey. Throwing rocks and such, slagging, fighting...purely because they were on opposite sides of the river. But not one of them ever crossed the middle part of the bridge. Some lads got seriously injured and they deserved it. Retards.

    It used to be breakdance battles on bits of lino in the 80s. Polyester, headbands and battery cassette players as far as the eye could see.

    Culchie is fine. It’s better than toothless hick, mucksavage, bogtrotter, silage arse, or Paddy Hayseed.

    Don’t be so thin skinned.

    Absolutely, comes from the same era as well.

    Whatever era you referring to?

    The Jackeen nomiker I believe comes from the time of the segregation of Dublin under English rule from the rest of the country - when those inside the pale were 'English' aka 'Jack' and as such was used with the diminutive term from the Irish 'een' to refer to those living there as 'Jackeens' or little English people ....

    Nah, it was long before that

    Baile Átha Cliath was an Irish settlement north of a river ford.

    Dubh Linn was the southside town named for the black pool that was drained for Queen Vic's visit.

    You're right. I was referring mainly to the 1970s when both words were used frequently as counterparts.
