Anybody who talks with an american accent is either a posh wannabe or someone who took the J1 working holiday in the states way to seriously.
sometimes is a combo of both.:rolleyes:

My mother's American. I used to get so much grief for it at school.

It's only back home people get all angsty about accents. Dublin has many different accents, get over it

Dravokivich

Dont know about others, but I dont do it on purpose.

To be honest, I find a lot of irish accents to be dull and lazy.

To hell with'em!

They don't. They sound like Irish people who speak a bit differently to other Irish people.

And before that; The Late Late/pirate radio/60s liberalism/beatniks/jazz...

Language and accents are in a constant state of flux. 100 years ago we would have sounded completely different, as we will in another 100 years...

Why do people from the south-east speak so intelligently and articulately, while at the same time retaining the irishness in their accent? Its incredible.

You're in the wrong part of Dublin.

If you head over to Crumlin and Drimnagh, you'll hear it everywhere.

Coming from a Corkman, the exact same thing happens in Cork. People from the southside here used insults like "you douchebag" or "you moron" and the accents sound right from hollywood.

CHealy

Especially the fellas from Rochestown/West Douglas and Blackrock areas. They're all about the "dude" and "thats awesome" with those ridiculous runners that go just above the ankle.

Latchy

Do you usually use violence towards people who sound different to your ears?

What a violent land you live in. Must avoid.
