    Which part of Dublin?

    Dublin accents range from having no accent at all to sounding like you grew up in the circus.

    It's Hiroshima and Nagasaki on a sunny August 1945 Sunday afternoon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭PirateShampoo


    But at least its understandable, unlike 80% of this country's accents.

    That was an ATTACK not an ACCENT

    Or my moms cousin during the summer
    "TOM! D'ya tink way've got Dubberlin accents?!"

    Lovely

    It's a pretty vomit-inducing accent. A big turn off in a girl too if they have a really strong one. You're just like "Yeah, you're cute - but stop talking."

    The real divide is east/west.

    It's awful, it's like listening to someone that learned to speak English from a deaf person. That was drunk.

    Ah the Dubs are alright and
    how would I know they were dubs if they did not talk like dat.

    Although then there's the other extreme:
    "Oh roysh, well the focking 46A is like, late, YET AGAIN, oh my god, like, focking Dublin Bus oh my god"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭Voltex


    The one those chipper lads/lassies from inner city flat complexes use...
    they use words like:

    "Buke"= Book
    "Ren" = Run or Ran...havent quite figured that one yet
    "Windes"= Windows.

    Can the OP answer this question?

    The D4/UCD accent is a million Miles from the Inner City/Ballymun accent. Both are totally different from mine and I grew up in D9...

    Otherwise it's the equivalent of saying, you know the Cork/Donegal accent (the one everyone in both counties share, because the sound exactly the same) how good/bad is it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,488 ✭✭✭pikachucheeks


    Surely this should be in the Dublin forum? :P

    I like the Dublin accent - thick Dublin accents on guys can be weirdly sexy.
    The posh accent is quite nice too - Well spoken ones, not American wannabes.

    Yes.

    I like it more than most other accents anyway, not sure if cute is the best discription though? Cant stand when people put it on though.

    So why is it that these posters can sterotype a million or so people and not get banned just cause "it's only Dublin"...


    If i stereotyped people from Cork as inbreed F ucktards *, or Ginger haired people as P ussies* or god forbid mention anything about people from Romania:eek:... i'd be banned no questions asked...

    Double standards i reckon..

    I am from Dublin and yes i do have a Dublin accent...

    Posts reported.


    *these are not my beliefs just examples of bannable sterotypeing

    Ps. i'm Not trolling... just pissed about these narrow minded views...

    Thick Dublin accents are sooo not sexy!! Possibly the biggest turn of ever!!

    Listening to Dublin accents on telly is just embarrassing!! I always cringe!! My friends from up north find it very amusing though. They dont get any kicks outta me, apparently i have a very neutral accent :)

    Ah, I know a few guys with them and it adds to their appeal! ;)

    I've been told that too. Although, in college, I'm "the posh one". I always get slagged by the guys from Tallaght in my class for being a "D4".
    Idiots.

    without saying i like the accent or not...my view is that it evolved out of laziness. Some words in English require just a little effort to say...like most "ing" words...but a Dublin accent would cut off the "g" bit in favour of "runnin" of "bleedin".
    So basically people with a dublin accent could be decended from lazy people...maybe thats why so many live in Council Houses...they dont like to work....or in themselves are just lazy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,577 ✭✭✭jaffa20


    The South Dublin accent is fine as long as it isn't very posh.

    The D4 accent is terrible, wanabe americans :(

    The "G" is silent in "ing". i'd love to hear how you say it :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    The two extremes annoy me slightly i.e the stupidly posh one and the scumbag one but generally people can't help it. I'd be more worried about how the act than how they sound at the end of the day.

    Agreed. Blocking out the piercing D4 accent on any bus to UCD is a very important function of any MP3 player.

    just another thread for those outside dublin to bash dublin and in 5mins sure the dubliners will be doing it to the rest of ireland.

    I'm baffled how we ever became a nation
