yeah, except culchie is not listed on the ethnic slurs page. So that doesnt help, for someone looking for its meaning.
I have removed the sentence below from this article as it has no real relevance to the word culchie. It instead has become a sentence with an obvious sectarian undertone to it, where one person is changing Derry to londonderry and the other back to derry.
"In County LondonDerry , people from the city of Derry refer to people from the country, such as Dungiven, as culchies."

With some reluctance, I have removed the following:
Among other things culchies like:

Be careful Culchies move in large groups.
Sadly, I think it qualifies as original research. I couldn't bear to remove it altogether; it's really quite accurate (as a description of the stereotype, I mean; nobody is really like that, of couse...). jnestorius(talk) 21:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, that just described half of my family.
