1. If you had a penny for each time you used the word “like” you’d be filthy rich, like….

 

 

Cha-Ching!!

 

 

 

2. …. and the same goes for the phrases “Alright boy” and “Alright girl”.

 

 

 

3. When it comes to your accent, sometimes people can’t decipher if you’re telling them a story or singing them a song.

 

 

” Thanks for the serenade, but I was just asking for directions to Starbucks”

 

 

 

4. You never miss an opportunity to boast about the English Market.

 

 

“We have the best covered market in all of Ireland and the UK. What has your city ever done?”

 

 

 

5. You use Yer Wan, Yer Man, Yer Man-O, and Yer Wan-O with such astute complexity that your non-Cork friends have trouble keeping up.

 

 

“So, like, yer wan was with yer wan-o who had been dating yer man, before moving onto yer man-o, and yer wan then got together with yer man.”

 

 

 

6. You often find yourself in the centre of heated debates about whether Murphy’s or Beamish is the stout supreme….

 

 

In the end, it doesn’t really matter so long as it’s not Guinness.

 

 

 

7. …. and whether KC’s or Jackie Lennox’s is the best chipper….

 

 

You brought me KC’s chips?!?!  *throws chips in cowering friend’s face*

 

 

 

8. …. and which shop has the best hot chicken rolls.

 

 

Never underestimate the power of perfect mayonnaise distribution.

 

 

 

9. Speaking of beverages: you can’t get enough Tanora….

 

 

Tanora > Gold.

 

 

 

10. …. you may have even considered using it in salad dressings, marinades and cereals, and in place of bathwater.

 

 

“The Tanora Cookbook by Rachel Allen” has a nice ring to it, no?

 

 

 

11. You can’t always hide your inherent dislike for Dublin, which, in your opinion, is far inferior to the Rebel City.

 

 

Dublin? More like Smuglin.

 

 

 

12. You know all the words to “Dear Old City by the Lee” and have concluded many a night by singing a drunken rendition of it in your local.

 

 

 

 

13. You treat hurling stars like royalty.

 

 

Who wants JGL when you could have JBM?

 

 

 

14. And you’ve lost your voice at least once from excitedly screaming “Up the Rebels!” at GAA matches.

 

 

 

 

 

15.  You or one of your closest friends is a Murphy.

 

 

 

 

16. There’s only two (at most three) degrees of separation between you and any other true Corkonian.

 

 

 

 

17. You’ve spent hours of your early Saturday mornings searching for the ever-illusive taxi from the city centre.

 

 

*In the voice of David Attenborough*  “and here we see the rare taxi in it’s natural habitat.”

 

 

 

18. And finally, there’s no place you’d rather call home.
