Definition of Southside (dublin)

To some, especially those from outside Dublin, the Southside of Dublin is presumed to be the area within Dublin's county borders bounded to the north by the River Liffey. To native Dubliners, however, the socio-cultural particularities of the 'southside' and 'southsiders' are not contained within this artificial construct. When 'southside' is used as an adjective or pronoun, it is used, rightly or wrongly, as a term referring to an attitude within or prejudice about Dublin's middle and upper classes.
