Sashurday Nighsh

slipss

OK. what the fcuk is up with ppl talking like this "well I was outsh witsh my friends Sashurday nighsh, roish" :translation: "well I was out with my friends Saturday night, right". It used to just be Dublin 4 and the like but it's spreading. Is it some form of contagious CJD that effects ppls ability to pronounce t's and i's. Am I the only 1 that feels like sticking hot pokers in my ears when I hear this accent? I mean c'mon for fcuk sake, even the most common Sheriff Street skanger accent is like beutifull music compared to this. Please, please get yourselves some speach therapy or something or I swear to God some1 is going to get doused in petrol and set alight.

OP,using text speak is just as annoying and is clearly impairing your abilitiy to spell.

What you speak of is also annoying however.

Judging by your post slipss, you may want to get a bit of speech therapy for yourself, before mocking others.

I presume you mean typing lessons????
You might want to get some vocabulary lessons before you come out with a smart comment again

By the way I didn't mean that post to come across so aggresive, but I just sat on a bus for 2 hours listening to about 12 of them yammering on.

No, I actually meant speech therapy. If you won't even bother to use a full keyboard, then I can hardly imagine what it would be like to have a conversation with you face to face.

So I think I'll leave the vocabulary lessons.

The whole talking like a D4 thing is annoying, O Carroll Kelly has a lot to answer for.
It's like when you mock something for a while you actually start saying it by accident in serious conversations, and it becomes a mannerism.

Yes,I know that way.....Where are you Bottle_of_Smoke?!

Oh look, an anti-D4 thread, we haven't had one of these in a while.

I actually think the accent is hilarious- you can rip the piss and they just accept you as one of their own which is even funnier! Not judging people from D4 though but seriously, where the fock did the accent come from in all fairness guys?

Was I the only one imagining a Sean Connery accent when reading the original post?

Lol. Listen I don't want to get into a big thing here, but what on Earth would the way you move your fingers across keys have to do with the way you shape your lips and tongue when speaking.

Na na na na na na I got in the last word.

Just to make this clear, I'm not saying everyone in D4 talks like this. It just seems to have originated there.

From reading the text, I would've said they were hammered.

TBH, now this is in my own opinion, i have worked in houses of these "d4's" and some of them are dead sound, and some are really stuck up, so its not the accent that i go mad over, its ones attitude towards others.
And yes i have noticed that this accent is spreading. But slowly.

A bit off my own topic here but did you know that it doenst mttaer in waht odrer you plcae the ltters in wodrs becusae msot peolpe will be albe to raed the snetence jsut as fliudly as lnog as the first and lsat ltters are in the rghit place.

yes

Noone I've met from the Dublin4 area has spoken like that, the only people I've ever caught speaking like that were young teenage girls(roughly 14 years old) who seem to have taken the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly books as though it were a guide to life or something.The majority I've came across have been in the shop I work in, shopping with their mothers who a lot of the time have Dublin accents or no accent at all.You just have to laugh at them.

yes mostly girls, in one house that girl was 21.

Mossy Monk

dislike of this way of speaking is one of the few things Gay Byrne and myself have in common

Thats a bit extreme :eek:

One of the finest examples I ever heard, was on the late late show a number of weeks ago when the topic was young women and binge drinking.

They had a number of young nattering on about it, among them, a 16 year old who had the filthiest 'Roish' in existence. She was almost boastful of her mature attitude towards responsible drinking, and spoke of Mommy and Daddy giving her an appreciation for alcohol at a young age.
Her accent was not real...., there was a distinct over-emphasis on most of her words. Just listen to that add on the radio for Monster.ie ,, where yer one is giving out about how the computer is so amazing blah blah and that you only use it to 'email everyone about Jayson from ECownts'
'Ecownts' which is supposed to be 'Accounts'. What the fock is that about?
