is the animosity between Dublin people and the rest of the country real?

You'll have to ask for a "min-der-dal" so that they'll understand you.

The only Dubs I used to hear going on with that kinda stuff was my first cousins, the fact that they are only one generation removed from the farmyard seems to be lost on them.

Thirty years ago I had this conversation with an auld lad in a pub in Nenagh.

He said, Dublin people call Nenagh people culchies. Nenagh people call Toomevara people culchies. Toomevara people call people who live and work on farms culchies.

A few small-minded gobshítes on both sides genuinely seem to have animosity for the other. And all the normal folk have animosity for those small-minded gobshítes.

The term 'culchie' doesn't bother, and I sometimes call myself a 'bogger' in a tongue-in-cheek manner, but I really cringe when I hear people use terms like 'jackeen' or 'mucksavage' with venom in their voices. It's so parochial on both sides.

It's the same in Dublin between northsiders and southsiders, the vast majority don't take it seriously and treat it as a bit of a joke.

I have found the biggest snobs towards northside Dublin are people who have moved up from the country. Literally will not consider living on the northside, a lot of them. I moved up and apart from a short spell in Ringsend, I have always lived on the northside, sometimes in nicer areas and rentals at cheaper rent with better transport links and closer to town than friends and acquaintances who live on the southside, but they just will not consider anywhere that isn't southside.

Hopefully they never end up in Castleknock, Clontarf and Portmarnock. All proper rough Northside spots.

Except parts of Dublin 8 and 20 are on the Northside. Sure isn't the President himself in D8 these days.

Don't think there is, Fools can be fools no matter where there from, As in the Dublin south north side divide, Only in some peoples minds.

Too bad you didn't do more to keep the tired and overplayed Cork humour out. :pac:

It's more likely the other way round in my experience but even then not an issue. As many culchies in Dublin as natives so animosity on either side is stupid. Unless they're from Cork of course...in which case they should be chased beyond the Pale with their own pitchforks

:eek: *flees*

99% of people treat it as a bit of craic, and there's nothing wrong with some friendly slagging. It's the same in Dublin between northsiders and southsiders, the vast majority don't take it seriously and treat it as a bit of a joke. Then unfortunately there's the 1% - the ones who think that the world revolves around Supermacs in Eyre Square or that Cork really is the capital of Ireland. And on the other side you have those who think that anyone living just outside of Dublin in the likes of Bray or Clonee is an uncivilised mucksavage or that things will be so much better down the country when they finally get electricity and running water. These people just don't get the joke and take it all far too seriously, and basically give the rest of us who really couldn't give a sh*te as long as there's a pint close by a bad name. That said, I still don't really believe that Leitrim exists. :pac:

Wait, you mean they have electricity and running water down the country? When did that happen?

Dublin is awesome. Nothing but love and envy for you lucky Dub bastards.

Jesus I've just realised that actually most of my friends are hairy bog goblins. Westmeath, Wexford, Monaghan heads. I'd be lost without the weirdos.

You're too kind.

Dubs dislike everyone else so much they even have a name for them; culchies.
This name isn't a term of endearment.

We call Dubs Jackeens\Westbrits so I guess it evens out.

A lot of Dubs probably have culchie blood in them anyway and you might only need to go back a few generations.

An old college friend used always boast that she could trace no culchie blood in her family tree to as far back as she could go, that the family were true blue Dubs. When I used stay in her house her mother told me she grew up on a farm somewhere in Dublin so my friend was really a muck savage after all, just a Dublin version.

Ah! The plasma centrifuge. It never lies.

Can't understand the animosity towards the indentured yeoman pool from which we suck taxes and cheap labour to support the outpost of civilization in The Pale.

That is what happened our economy there 8 years back.

Nobody was willing to stand up and take responsibility.
