Culchie Areas in dublin

lufties

I just wondered if there is any particular areas in Dublin where its predominately culchies. I would say Drumcondra on the northside and Rathmines on the southside perhaps. Maybe there's somewhere I'm not thinking of.

Anyone?

people go around with straw in their teeth...I suppose somewhere where most culchies flock to(me being one), kind of like half of ireland's exported youth lives in Bondi-ok that's not true but you get the point;)

Any place with 'Bally' in it's name is a culchie area.

Culchie inferiority complex overload!

Rathmines is almost exclusively inhabited by sons and daughters of the soil. The remaining residents are AH posters who live in cold-water bedsits.

The whole country falls under the Irish stereotype. No escaping it us poor potato munchers!

Deflect the stereotype all you want on others. Still the same passport and the same stereotype to the rest if the world.

That can't be, sure any boggers in 'Renelagh' tend to put on south dublin accents to fit in :pac:

I met an Irish lad in Oz who said back home they call him a 'dublin culchie', which translated to something along the lines of 'I have the streetwise element of a towny, but the 'down to the earth-ness' of a culchie, ok he didn't use them words , but thats what he meant.

I cringed:o...

or balgeria,as the local taxi men jokingly refer to the town.

would ballbriggan be seen as culchie i mean its all farms around it? barney rock has a pure couuntry accent, it as good as meath!
how about saggart? loads of sheep around there, and the airport has fields of spuds all around it? how do dubs categorise the farmers from rush,lusk,swords,saggart or lucan? are they not culchies? or is culchieland only outside the pale?
most people say inside the pale is not culchie, so then 75% of meath is not culchie and 80% of louth, i think a small bit of kildare around maynnoth and celbridge is also inside the pale. the pale border went through my village, it was a garrisson set up to keep the savages back! yet im a farmer from meath! and all these years i thought i was a culchie, better get my ralph lauren shirt on and attend to the horses so
