Snobbery slammed into reverse there, but still snobbery.

Middle class people are real people too, and just as decent as any other demographic.

I said most are stuck up twats, not all. The few I've met have been some of the most unlikable people ever.

Yes, I know that statement makes me sound like a cu.nt but it is just my limited experiences.

The Syth Cynty Dublin accent sickens my hole.

The real skangery Dublin accent I don't like. It can make the hottest girl very unattractive.

Used to go out with a girl who had a regular northside accent, nicest one imo.

The old school inner city Dublin accent might be my favourite accent of all. Think "Brenin's Bret. Taday's bret....taday!" Could listen to it for hours on end.

I love the old school Dublin accent. It's even better with old Dublin wit behind it.

Watch at home with the Healy Rae's on bog 3 for a half hour and the Dublin accent will sound like classical music to your ears.

There's more than one.

The Skanger Dublin accent is the worst accent I've ever heard. It is an absolute assault on the ears. Then again, so is the D4 accent - fake psuedo-American bull****. The normal Dublin accent is grand.

A lot more. Right now in my office, there are six people including me, five are Dubs, three Northsiders and two Southsiders, and none of us have the same accent at all and all sound nice to my ears.

And seriously, Drogheda is the worst accent in Ireland... it's even more rank then the Soot Efriken accent. Wood you like a maaaaaas baaaaa?

There was this mad old woman who worked in the canteen in school who used to say..

"I dont care who trun tha, I just wanna know who trun tha"

Gas!

The waaherford accent has some strong similarities to the dublin accent, presumably due to dublin efforts to colonize the region

I think the waaherford accent is gas mind

Which Dublin accent? There are about 8 of them.

Can someone definitively list the Dublin accents? Why 8. Why not 10?

Anyway the skanger accent is one of the worlds worst. I have no problem with D4. The enunciation of working class dubs is appalling. There is actually no way to understand an announcement at a train station.

This is applicable to every train station in the world.

The Wicklow accent has a certain WTF to it also.

Donegal is a much less harsh accent. Also they are much better at pronouncing the th.

No it's not. I understand everything in England. It's not the PA but the accent. The slurring.

Off the top of my head there's Tallaght / Southwest Dublin, South Dublin (Terenure / Templeogue / Rathfarnham / Dundrum), D4, Inner City Dublin, North Dublin (Howth / Malahide), County Dublin (Outside the city). That's six, all of which are fairly distinct. There are the variations and combinations of the above.

The Walking Dead Boardwalk accent is disgusting to hear and is an embarrassment to the working class in this city

You've met few, have limited experience, yet you can say that most are stuck up twats.

Brilliant :pac:

Hi guys,

could anybody post here a video with the D4-accent? I just wonder, if dublin accents in general are considered to be ununderstandable or weird. Maybe it was a wrong way of mine, but all videos on youtube, where you can here people from Dublin, make me to think, that dublin accents are the most understandable in the whole world.

Hey loves, welcome to boards.

We don't really like when you bump old threads I'm afraid. You might have some luck getting youtube vids in the Cool Vids & Pics & Links forum but please read their charter before posting there as it may not be allowed.
