When in my leaving cert year in Mayo a girl in my class intentionally changed her accent to a D4 one as she was hoping to get into Trinity. I kid you not.

Is it? I reckon you hear as many fairly well-off kids putting on scobe accents to appear hard as you do putting on a D4 accent to seem posh.

I put on a Dublin accent when I'm in a taxi so the driver doesn't realise I'm actually from Africa and am just here to steal his livelihood and molest his domestic animals.

I hope she failed and was sent to some farm/torture camp in Belmullet to grow her accent back.

Pretty infuriating alright. I was chatting to one lad in the pub one night with such an accent. I assumed he was from south Dublin until he declared "I'm from Sligo". Now, I have no problem with a South County Dublin accent. It's only natural to develop an accent over time based on the your surroundings and the people who occupy it. But this business of adopting an accent based on 2 years studying in UCD/Griffith College is the height of pretentiousness. When I told yer man that I come from Mayo, he replied "Roight. How do you fing living in Dublin?" rather than "Wait til we get ye Mayo cúnts up to Markivecz Park and we'll hammer seven shades a' shíte outta ye, ya Mayo bollicks ya!"

In fairness I'm sure he has a sheep locked up back home to remind himself of where he's from.

The D4 accent didn't exist until about 15/20 years ago. It started when a load of idiotic posh kids tried to sound like they're from California after watching too much Bill and Ted but somehow stuck.

No, I don't think so. If they had elocution lessons they might actually speak properly. What they speak can only barely be called english. Some examples:

car =/= cor
like=/= loike
hi =/= hoi
guys=/= goys
totally =/= todally

and so on and so on...

Never once heard this.
