Dubliner
A specific breed of Irish person that vary from place to place.
Are incredibly defensive of Dublin, (for obvious reasons, everyone seems to dislike Dubliners?) Even though most can be 'dead sound' or 'a legend'
In the northside, typically, you are more likely to come across the tracksuit, 45 degree caps, runners types "Here yooou! Giz a fookin fag or sometin!"
And the southside, 80% of the time you are more likely to find, the preppy 5 stone guys and girls, that daddy buys everything for, the 'I just fucked this up' hairstyle that took 4 hours, rudgy, ponies, cars, OMG!
But it is not uncommon to find posh places in the northside and skanger places in the southside, Ballybrack + Shankill for example. These poor people have to live with the stigma of technically living in the southside, EVEN THOUGH daddy cant buy them a break my windows (BMW)

Dubliner
A person from the county and/or city of Dublin.
Some people have a terrible view of the superior North of this county, though some of it is filled with scumbags and knackers, not all of it is, and it does contain some rich-arsed areas. Like where I live. While the South, too, has scumbag areas. Like Tallaght.
But overall, Dublin is the greatest place in Ireland to live. It is the only civilised part of the island, all the rest is filled with useless boggers.
Dubliners are far superior to everyone, and everything in the world. (Except those scumbags, who should be kicked off this island)
