Myself and a friend of mine have set up a new site selling (different) Dublin style prints. We are mixing Dublin slang/street art and 80’s graphics to come up with something new.

Fair play in fairness.

How uniquely Dublin

ahjayzis September 22, 2015 at 3:57 pm

I like them! I’ve been looking for random stuff to decorate my Dickensian London hovel with.

But A3 is a uselessly small size for something like this, you may as well sell the image file for people to print them out themselves like. Go bigger!

A3 is twice the size of A4.

You’re thinking of A5. The smaller the numeric, the bigger the sheet.

  No, I’m thinking of A3, I work in A1 and A0 so I know how small A3 is! ;o)
  
  I wouldn’t pay 20 squid for anything less than A2 to be honest, I have an A3 printer, most workplaces do, I’d rather buy a soft copy and print it myself, like the guy who was giving away custom maps on here as prizes.
  
  Look at the borders of the prints, they reduce the main image to A4 in most cases anyway.

Shift is a Dublin thing now is it. Perhaps in Coppers.

  Mooch, or Wear would be more Dublin I reckon.
  1. ahjayzis September 22, 2015 at 4:43 pm
    
    I never really heard Wear until I went to college, is it more northside / city centre or wha?

      ‘Up the gicker’ is a uniquely Dublin phrase I’ve heard used by an older Dub I used to work with… he’d a lot of odd phrases in fairness :)

“Will ye shift me mate” was how I was introduced to may a young lady in the 90s. I’m 54 now.

tis gettin to be a saturated market.

Jonotti September 22, 2015 at 7:24 pm

I’ve seen crap like this many times before on broadsheet.

Hellvetica September 22, 2015 at 5:09 pm

Trace a few pop art works and slap on the most obvious Dublin slang you can think of – job done.

Constance September 22, 2015 at 5:24 pm

Meh, wouldn’t even hang em in the jacks. Whats worse is trying to pass these phases off a Dublin slang. Looking at site the Dublin bus and Northside ones can be connected to Dublin. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
