    The Irish for Culchie

    Derivation

    A suggested origin of the word comes from an old Gaelic term "cúl a' tí", meaning the back of the house. It was, and still is to a certain extent, common practice in rural areas to enter a neighbour's house through the back door, rather than the front (which is for more formal visits). Thus the term cúl a' tí or culchie was applied to these country people. Also, many city dwellers from Dublin tenements had to work as servants. The servants were not permitted to enter the house from the front but had to use the back door or servants entrance. However the latter does not explain why country people (as opposed to city people) are called "culchies".

    Another possible derivation is from the Irish coillte meaning "the wood/forest", to describe people who lived in the woods. Yet another perceived derivation, however, comes from a shortening and alteration of Kiltimagh, a town in County Mayo. A further, simpler, explanation is that the word derives from the word agriCULTURE, highlighting the industrial/agricultural divide between rural and urban populations.

    Culchies are seen as simple people who have a fairly direct manner, physical strength, limited social skills, and a rich accent.

    That's wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

    Back to the point there's a society called the Gimpluminatti who are secretly running the world from their base in CIT. They meet every Monday evening to discuss their world domination plans and to play twister.
