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, dismantling my stuff and complaining that we hadn't made him anything to eat, but I had to make nice because I needed him to sign some cheques (which he did eventually, but badly, so I hope the bank don't look too closely). This guy was so moany that my sister painted him a collage of contenders from British party leadership contests (featuring Heseltine as a frog-on-a-throne, John Major in a pink linen shirt, and Gordon Brown replaced by an 'anyone but Brown' billboard) as a sop, which he snatched at but clearly didn't get or was interested in, which really annoyed me cos it was loads of work, and now I've woken up all tense. Also, he started the dream as a dwarf, and ended it looking like a greasy James Corden.
I'm not doing that again.

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

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 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
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
― nakhchivan, Saturday, 29 May 2010 14:19 (fourteen years ago) link
it's all done solely on income since the celtic tiger tbh
but yeah rather than 'provincial' really i suppose it's 'rural'

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.

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.
