What the culchiest thing you have seen culchie people do?

Qualitymark

Correction: 'the media' don't love anything. The media are nakedly commercial, and print or film anything that *the audience wants*.

Another culchie thing I love (but maybe it's only in the midlands) is using 'out' as a modifier: "She's gorgeous out", "he's thick out", etc.

And having a tanned right arm (left if in Europe or the US) from driving with the window open and an elbow snuggled to the side of the car.

And extrapolating from one technology to another; many years ago my family were driving through Kerry when a car driven by a young farmer of 60 or so with his old mother in the passenger seat passed us.

"Howld hard there on the reins there, Patch," she said to him as they passed.

Overheard this nugget,

Upon seeing Tiger Woods in the recent JP McManus Pro-am:
"Jaysus, I thought he'd be Blacker."

It does, but I swear I heard it.

Then there's the various country walks - the midlands walk, as if pulling wellie-wearing feet loose from the bog on each step; the island walk, leaning hard against the wind.

And the way of talking to strangers: "You wouldn't be one of the McCusckers that went out to Ballina, then, would you?" - not exactly asking a question, like, more negating it.

Lads in my class at school who would stand up in the middle of class to look out the window if they heard a tractor passing so they could see what kind it was.

My culchie uncles used to love telling us that his spuds tasted so good as a result of the superior fertilizer he used.

Saw a guy from Kerry/Limerick/Cork (couldn't decipher the accent) practically attack one of the ticket readers on a Dublin Bus about 10 years ago. He was trying to put an old £1 coin into it instead of the ticket (!) and was going apesh*t when it wouldn't work. The bus driver was screaming at him to stop and give him the money but the whole bus was laughing so hard and the culchie was getting so agitated he obviously didn't hear him. Cluchie and bus driver then had conversation the whole bus heard (as they were practically shouting) which basically went like this:

BD: Wat da bleedin' hell are ya doin?
C : I'm trying ta get me money in here ta pay.
BD: dat's for de tickets ya eejit...
C: what tickets?
BD: Prepaid tickets.
C: give me wan a dem so.
BD: ya hav ta buy dem in da shop.
C: (as he was about to get off the bus and hop into the adjacent Spar) Hold on a minute so.
BD: (practically wrestling him for the pound coin at this stage) Give me yer money now and get your ticket later.
C: Tanks boss.

He then proceeded to walk down the middle of the bus with s ah!t-eating grin on him like he'd found the cure for cancer.

I'm laughing now even just thinking about it.

Punching the **** out of Dublin folk, because city blokes can't fight worth a damn.

It's a well known fact down the country.

Shared a flat in college with a Culchie, when I needed money I'd go to the nearest Bank Link. My flat mate on the other hand would reach into his mattress and pull out cash. 12 years or so later I'm pretty sure he still doesn't have a bank account.

On the other hand, a Dublin fella i knew, who was going to a wedding in Wexford, he was asking me all about Wexford, as if it was on another planet. I told him he'd need his passport to get there, he believed me, fúckin idiot. He was saying he had just had it renewed, and that he was looking forward to seeing Wexford.

Grew up "down the country", getting my Sunday night bus back to the big smoke for college and all, this family got on the bus in wellies with TK Red Lemonade bottles filled with milk and the regulation ham sangwiches in tinfoil, couldn't get over the height of the street lights out in Tallaght, kept pointing up at them and gawping.

I reckon non dubs think that dubs believe they are better than the rest of us but in fact they dont they couldnt give a toss. I dont know why the rest of ireland have a problem with dubs. It seems to me that munster has the biggest chip on its shoulder, esp limerick and cork. I reckon they are just jelous because dublin has more going for it. like who holidays in limerick? Cork just has a superiority complex, they think they are better than the world and cork is the centre of the universe.

Imagine the whole place was full of scum from limerick or opinionated corks or junkies from athlone. If the other cities and i use the word cities very loosley, had as large a population maybe they would see what they are really like. You see very few dubs moving to other counties whys that ? What makes so many non dubs move to dublin?? Because its better. Thats why.
