    Fake d4 by the most. No need for this especially post recession.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Cork is the worst by a mile. Sounds atrocious, particularly on women "like".

    The non-D4, non-skanger, generic Dublin accent is the best, though some Nordy accents are sexy as fook.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭shenanigans1982


    Worst by far is Louth....sounds like years of inbreeding.

    It would be better in German, just to get the message across, with a bit of heel clicking for added emphasis.

    more Dublin bashing by the hay munchers:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Limerick ones are pretty bad. Louth too.

    Skangy dublin is rotten too, but I like a normal, working class Dublin accent.

    I love a certain type of Belfast accent on a girl. The normal, working-class one. The skangy version is atrocious though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    Donegal accent rocks. Used to work with a girl from Donegal, I would have listened to her all day.

    Hate a thick Dublin accent : 'staaaaary buuud'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem


    Don't have a favourite one but the D4 accent goes through me like a shard of glass.

    Favourite is Donegal or Belfast (but only on a hot female for the latter), least favourite is North Dublin, but most annoying is Cork, simply because communication is extremely difficult.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,397 ✭✭✭Paparazzo


    The tracksuit wearing Dublin scumbag accent has to be the worst. You know the people that you just look at and you know they're a scumbad. Sometimes they wear their tight jeans with tracksuit top. All the blokes must go the the same barber to get the scumbag haircut. The women all push a buggy to the dole office with a johnny blue in their mouth, wear leggins and a bright pink top.
    I hate scumbags.

    Where's that fool Enda Kenny from, I want to punch him every time I hear him talk. Don't know if it's him or his accent....

    Hes a Mayoman trying to make his accent more stately and dignified. It just makes him sound like an idiot.

    I like Northern Irish and Donegal accents.

    Cork accents vary: If a girl has a strong Cork accent and she's not a scobe, it can be really attractive. If she's a pure skanger though, it sounds horrible.

    I really don't like Dublin City accents though. I was in a taxi in Dublin recently and the taxi driver was a lovely man and he chatted away for the whole journey, yet all the time I couldn't help thinking "Jaysus, your voice is annoying."

    care to elaborate on that?

    I taught no one would say tipp cause we have such flat accents..


  • Moderators Posts: 1,589 ✭✭✭Big_G


    I would say the Nordy accent but they're not Irish.
    So D4. And Louth.

    But Leitrim is a kind of a non accent.

    My personal favorite is probably Dundalk.

    The ubquitious fake so-cal twang is the worst.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,203 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    I used to like the Northern accent until I went out with a gril from Tyrone...then it just really started to grate especially with their retarded sayings like

    "Catch yourself on" " I am only taking the hat out of you" :mad:

    The Kerry accent is the worst...when I hear any Kerry footballer giving an interview my ears start to bleed.
