I'm not from Dublin but it always amazes me how annoyed people can get over being called a northside Knacker, or equally a Southside snob.
I would have most big cities have something equivalent.
I lived in Chicago for a while, and it was slightly odder in that it had a South side, West side, and North side - but no East side!
The North side is the posh part, while the South side is a little suspect, while the West side is downright dangerous.
