    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. :D

    I'm pretty sure Tallaght is on the southside and I havent heard many barrack obamas or jay lenos out that way. I suppose on your point though there is a lot of britneys and beyonces

    You're in the wrong part of Dublin.

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

    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:

    oooorrrrr, now correct me if I'm wrong, but they might, just might mind, be American!

    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.

    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.

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

    What a violent land you live in. Must avoid.

    We don't and I don't think Americans speak with south Dublin accents either. So that just leaves the possibility of your ears needing their 10,000 mile service and a bit of retuning.
