Sexaaaaay

There is not one thing in the world that "everyone" likes. Except of course chocolate milkshakes.

Dave!

I love Derry accents if that counts. I don't think it does though.

ancientdog

everyone in the world like breathing..haha

Sherifu

Don't like the Northern accents at all.

[In before R00t]

phenomenon

*Sigh* It seems an accent thread pops up every two weeks

For the record:
Dublin North = scanger
Dublin South = irritating posh elitist
Northern = terrorist
Louth = unintelligible
Cork = leprechaun
West = farmer
Midlands = backward idiot

As for Donegal sexy? Is Mary Coughlan sexy??

Mossy Monk

I like it.

Marcus.Aurelius

My own two cents:

Dublin North = The accent is hilarious imo
Dublin South = Can be pretentious, but funny sometimes
Northern = Awful whiny noise
Limerick = Nasty bast**d child of Kerry north/Clare
Cork = Hilarious sing song
Kerry = Guttural, but hilarious at times
Mayo/Galway West = Pig-ignorant farmers
Midlands = Utter pigs
Waterford = Nasty bast**d child of East Cork/Kilkenny

As for the OP's question,

Donegal accent makes me want to rupture my eardrums with a syringe.

ancientdog

well her husband thinks so

Yes!

It is so freakin sexy!

Aye gotta love the Donegal accent - when its slight though, I have trouble hearing what people say nowadays even without them having a really strong accent!

I've never noticed a 'Longford' accent, those that do have a bit of a one sound the same as the rest of the boggers with accents.

Female donegal accents are terrible.

Donegal accent...head wrecking and yes men sound gay too!! oops

Phlann

There was a kid in my class in primary school who had the thickest, most unintelligible Donegal accent ever.

Our teacher used to always call on him to read and break her sh1te laughing at him. You'd see her hiding behind her book convulsed with laughter.

Mean but looking back it was pretty funny.

I'd much rather a Cork accent (and indeed the frame of mind). At the risk of tarring Donegal people with the same brush- the expressions and meandering way of thought in open speech, does my head in. The disarming openness of a lot of Cork people- putting answers in an endearingly blunt way, is appealing to me. If I ask a question- I appreciate an answer- not a bizarre psychological evaluation of an answer that confuses more than clarifies things.

Maybe working with German people for years rubbed off on me- I like a straight yes or no- and meeting at 9PM to mean 9PM and not 7PM or 11.30PM after the pubs close.......

If you asked the question about Scots accents- Mmmmmm- you'd have had a different answer......... (note: not the Glasgow accent)........

I dont like the Donegal accent at all. Partly because it reminds me of a complete freak from Lee-yetterkenna I lived with a few years ago, and partly because I havent a clue what they're saying.

Jigsaw

My accent has aspects of Donegal in it so it has to get my approval. My dad's from there so a bit of it has rubbed off on me.

Absolutely nothing. We can bond over an alternative flavour if you like :cool:

Damn right the Donegal accent is amazing!

Also Daniel O' Donnell in my honest opinion is the spawn of satan so although he resides here in Donegal we can not be held accountable for his any actions he may take/impose on people that irritate them. :pac:

i have a hard time understanding them somtimes but i dont dislike them

particularily when they are angry or crying:p. The accent varies in the county, its wiiilld strong in the north eastern part ,but the gweedore area is really bad.

I hate the way they sometimes pronounce certain words like Róisin, FÁS, milk,

Still they are a good bunch, but sounder than them muckers in derry.:D
