Everyone outside the pail over here is called a culchie ( culchee ) by the jackeens ( Dubliners). It essentially means the same thing

What was (is) the boundary of the pail? I'd looked it up years ago and forgot again!

It just means Dubliners now though and those brought up in it's hinterland ( Jackeens), cos those outside Dublin, even within the pail, will still be called Culchies by the Jackeens.
