Things you expect to see in rural Ireland

SeaFields

Culchie / (descriptive). People of rural Ireland. Highly intelligent in comparison to there urban brethern. Have an immense knowledge of nature and wildlife. Have a fantastic sense of community and a great love for the national games. Possess an innate dislike of the pale. Lovers of the pint, the song and a bit o' craic.

For me, a culchie is a closed minded person who spends their entire life in the place that they were reared & believes that that place is the centre of the universe.

They are born there, they live there, their friends are all from there, they don't trust or like anyone who's not born & bred there, they drink there, they marry there, they work there, they raise their kids there & they die there.

Sometimes they'll go on holidays, but only to somewhere where they can be with their ilk - and as long as there is a McDonalds close to hand.

There are many people like that in every town in Ireland, but there are also probably more of them in Dublin than anywhere else in the entire country. The likes of Blanchardstown, Finglas, Ballyfermot, Tallaght etc are full of culchies.

A Culchie is someone who can spend over an hour complaining about lads on the hill. (16).

She noticed the hairy arse on the farmer bending down to shave the ram's bollocks. He then proceeds towards his place of work - the shed. He eyed his tools before throwing a shovel over his left shoulder and a spade over his right. The farmer marched over to the tractor and threw his tools in. He then hopped in himself. He spat on his hands so he could get a good grip on the wheel and then he drove home to Mary who was boiling the spuds and licking the cabbage to see if it was salty enough.

Nail on the head.
I'm from Mayo and my Dublin mates used to think it was hilarious when I'd refer to people as culchies/rednecks/boggers
But to me it's more to do with attitude and frae of mind and general pig ignorance

Yeah, heard a few of the lads saying it before. Think they use 'boggers' more than 'culchies' generally though i suppose..

And judging by pages 14 & 15 - people who can't grasp forum quote tags.
