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)
#1: Like OMG hi! A Dubliner! Roish where abouts are you from

#:2 Eh, the southside (wtf is wrong with yer hair? Were you dragged backwards through a bush?)

#1: OMG!!!! Loike me too!! How many ponies and BMW's do you have???

#2: None? My dad cant afford to buy me a pony right now? I have a nice little Toyota though?

#1: a Toyota?......loike, what is wrong with you? Thats what people in the third world drive? Omg! Where did you say you were from again?

#2: Shankill, why?

#1:........oh? Ew, I cant be seen talking to you!!

#2:........*headbutts in face* damn D4's

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
