This is the thread for ILXors who have never met any other ILXors in person

FAP in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas?

kate you are gonna regret saying that by the time you get to dunners

So, no.

One day, ya punk.

I have met something in the order of 15 ILXors so far, inc 3 from other shores (mookie, jergs, and donut)

4, R0b B0lt0n too

Crap yr right, I knew I was forgetting someone.

Disaster - last night in my dream I did meet another ilxor, who dropped by my house. It's best not to say who because he was totally charmless,

Urgent Poll Required

^^^prime suspect

Can not really figure out Belfast usage of "culchie", have heard it used to mean "students from Tyrone who wear GAA shirts and trash Belfast's notoriously rowdy student housing area on St Patrick's day" and "weedy pseudo-intellectuals all reading their newspapers and novels which don't involve stuff blowing up" and anything in between

as someone from a small market town in a slightly (but not very) rural bit of England I haaate hearing Londoners use words like "provincial" so if that is all it means then I am not for it, but it is a euphonious word I guess

i tried to meet Ned Raggett once

but like the wind, he was gone

A vision. (You're in New York though, I think? I'll be there in a few weeks.)

xp it's like 'provincial' but with added whip.

main difference there being chez nous we have a superiority complex wrt dubs, so really it's quite funny.

xxp- yeah i reckon it was me too!

I'm saying nowt.

I thought culchies were townies who go out and lairily drink on a Saturday, but without fighting - if they fought, they would be SPIDES.

there are serious international boundaries here if your version of the culchie does not get involved in assault charges with each visit to a large population centre

Ah. The guys I'm thinking of don't fight, but they'd puke or pee in public. Ed used to call them 'shirts and shoes'.

K1ltim4gh (pronounced /ˌkɪltʃɪˈmɒk/) is said by some to be a possible origin of the quasi-derogatory term (depending on context and use) "culchie", traditionally employed by Dubliners to describe people from rural Ireland, or from any part of Ireland outside Dublin.

this doesn't seem very likely to me

Heard it a few times, from not-awful sources, but nah sounds totally fake-back-derivation to me too, kind of downer because I'd be a-ok with this, wld give me some credentials in the culchie pride movement.

i have puked in public, in dublin, within the past 6 months. culchies are v big on tradition

is culchie used interchangably w/ provincial these days? i thought it was strictly applied to bathtub poteen drinking ne'er do wells in the hills and not for bourgie townsppl from sligo

it's all done solely on income since the celtic tiger tbh

but yeah rather than 'provincial' really i suppose it's 'rural'

Heard it a few times, from not-awful sources, but nah sounds totally fake-back-derivation to me too, kind of downer because I'd be a-ok with this, wld give me some credentials in the culchie pride movement.

iirc i've actually been there and can't rly remember anything about it but i'd guess it's too small a place to have developed a countrywide meme tbh, cute fake etymology tho

if only there was a blogworthy young colleen who sang about the INLA and ate truffle taytos to spite sourfaced journos

'and i don't wanna talk about culchies'

Most of my LOLIRELAND trufax (spides, the stabbiness of Limerick, etc) come from '90s friendships with Father Ted guys and popstars of the Hannon and Cairns variety. Though mostly with the Hannon, this involved asking him whether there were tons of people in his manor with my very very Fermanagh surname.

Ginger-shooting video for her single from /\/\ /\ Y () would send confused signals.

no it wd be shooting of tamil ppl to avoid controversy

best derail

woof proclaiming culchie pride but when push comes to shove what does he read? english books, even worse anglo-irish in some instances

they always let you down in the end

I've only met a now-ex-ILXor. *Sheds solitary tear for D4rn13ll3

my reputation is still unsoiled by association with any of you, yes

in engaging with english books i am in a sense subverting them.

How different are the words HOME, CHRIST, ALE, MASTER, on his lips and on mine! I cannot speak or write these words without unrest of spirit. His language, so familiar and so foreign, will always be for me an acquired speech. I have not made or accepted its words. My voice holds them at bay. My soul frets in the shadow of his language.

Ni cheapaim

No, honestly, I won't pick up a book unless I can subvert the shit out of it.

For as long as I have been posting here, I really probably should have met more of you by now.

yes you should have

pondering what beloved ilxor Tun-dish thinks about this

dammit i misremembered what a tundish is

I've met three (3) aussie mongs Trayce, Haitch and AA. They set the bar pretty high, kinda concerned that meeting other ilxors would be a disappointment now

...or I don't get out much

You like in SF, yes? We should watch Runway together or summat! Note: I am not an Aussie mong.

I live in Sacramento: SF adjacent!
I didn't know you were in SF!

oops exclamation over use sorry

That's OK! I like exclamation marks!
Technically I live in South Bay. SF adjacent!

Yay!

are any of you dudes worth meeting?

i was in Stockton four years ago ... even closer to Sacramento than SF. i wish i'd known that there were ILXors there!

I met a bunch of DC-area ilxors when I was down there auditioning for "Jeopardy" a couple years ago, but that's it. Was going to go to NYC last year for the NYC Century bike ride but had to cancel. If I can make it this year, hope to set up a FAP.

where are all the Green Bay ILxors

in green bay

I knew some ILXors (who are no longer ILXors) before I was an ILXor but now not so much. Or at all. I almost met up with the Chicago contingent a bit ago. Maybe someday.

I have met 10 ILXors in real life, but one of them isn't s1ocki

Someone said to me last weekend "what do you mean you have never met s1ocki that is so surprising and weird". The weight of expectation is too great, we will never meet

I met two new ILXors last year! I was beginning to think that would never happen again *sniff*
