A Jackeen is a west Brit from Dublin, coined by country folk after the citizens of the capital turned out in their 1000s waving small Union jacks (jackeens) at the visit of Queen Victoria. Put that in your coffee this morning!
Wow, Eamonn! Thanks!
Damn sure. Know what side your bread is buttered on. It would have been Union Jackeens only culchies couldn’t pronounce U’s apparently!
The hated British gave Irish school children books with all of the ‘u’ s removed from them in an attempt to make us sound ridiculous. This was before they conquered Kerry and realised how much effort they’d wasted.
What are youse on about?
And Dubliner’s can pronounce their U’s… yeah right :)
Yiz are talking sh*te
Hey you. Get back to teaching/guarding/civil servanting
Heh :)
Nice.
Cheers.
You sure about that? Given how they were called Union Flags at the time except in the navy?
Irony is if you look above the licence plate you can see a Dublin City emblem sticker.
I always get it wrong so I could be mistaken but…I don’t think there’s any irony there.

Ironically presumably!
