Better Than Christ

Don’t see anything wrong with it, myself. Just a few lads blowing off a bit of “steam” while on holidays.

There’s a lot worse they could be getting up to.

I agree with this. They don't appear to be doing anyone any harm at all.

However - and I admit that this says more about me than it does about them - I would happily have them killed.

I know you are joking. But even joking about it is a bit strong.

I would never joke about something like that.

Poxiest accent you can imagine and that’s basically the only thing that makes it cringeworthy. I find it mad that this accent has a bit of prestige about it, it sounds so comical, dull and dorky. Literally as if there’s a golf ball stuck in his mouth. Nothing that can be done, it’s just an accent but really sounds so bad. I have a vaguely similar accent in how I pronounce certain words so maybe it’s why I find it grating.

This word is as bad as "banter" though, if not worse.

There is no such thing, and such a statement just reveals discrimination against these lads with another reason as its real motivation. Accents are simply different. It all depends on what you are used to. I am sure some of those Rock boys would find a northern accent strange, or, a Kerry one for example, where I have had to do a double take sometimes as I realise that my first reaction that someone there was speaking Irish, was in fact speaking English. All accents are perfectly fine and of their place.

Eggs For Dinner

I grew up in an area heavily populated with lads who went to Blackrock and girls who went to Mt. Anville and Foxrock. Many of them insufferable oinks and many of them really nice people. Basically, a reflection on all aspects of society.

These are privileged young men doing what young men do. If I was staying at this hotel, I'd have watched on with amusement. If it was going on 24/7, I'd be complaining to management

Compared to what a Limerick hurler got up to this weekend this is very mild just a bunch of lads having fun and not hurting anyone. Let them at it.

Presume their parents have the same insufferable accent or is it just a peer thing

It would be my worst nightmare to be in a holiday resort with a group of loud dublin fcukwits. But if I had the choice id rather have to listen to this crowd and their horseplay than a bunch of knick knacks in Lanzorote.

Harmless enough.

Sorry you must've meant "greatest horseplay" did you?

It's interesting why anything from either end of the social scale either amuses or irritates people and for some, it enrages them.

It's because they fear the unfamiliar, and what they don't understand. The great majority of the Irish are of an 80% middle ground group. The 10% from whichever end, promo the type of reaction you are seeing here. Nor can they help mentioning the other end of the spectrum either, as they recognise their response is the same as it would be to a story on that grouping.

So what's wrong with what they're doing?

Nothing but poor people think it's hilarious when people say horseplay, absolutely, splendid, carnage etc.

Nobody thinks there is anything wrong but working class people seem to find it hilarious. D18 accent is probably nails on a blackboard for alot of them too.

I got forwarded this in a Whatsapp group over the weekend and really was wondering if there was something lost in translation or if I was missing something due to accent because it just sounds like exactly the sort of universal ****e young lads get up to when they're away with their mates.

The Nal

Whats funny is the fact that he thinks this is some of the maddest shizzle of all time, to the point hes sending videos to the union when in reality its a load of tossers drinking weak beer. Its hilarious.

[Deleted User]

If this is real, I don't see the issue really. These guys are low-hanging fruit that, unlike other punch-bags on this site, no one fears. The accent is a shocker though.

JohnnyFlash

Doubt these lads give a fock what some dorks on a site like Boards think about them.

Most of their parents are rich culchies who were born on farms and small towns and sent, " up to Dublin to get a job" , believe.

The accent is as much a piss take on their culture if anything, it is an identity thing. It cuts out the crap when they meet strangers. It is mostly put on.

Their mothers all started the accent thing when they first got off the train at Heuston back in the 80's and 90's. They started smothering their thick culchie brogues with their new posh south side Dublin accents. They did this to enable them to attract any middle class Doctors, Lawyers and Accountants they were trying to catch and start families with.

In fairness those poor lads never had a chance really... They're basically mongrels. Even worse they could be full culchies trying to be south side Dubs, not good. This can go very wrong when their rich professional culchie parents settled somewhere on the Northside and are sending their son to Booterstown on the Dort. Identity crises can develop which can lead to mental issues.

If anything the accent is a form of group and social tectonics. A bit like when scrotes wear English soccer jerseys, it helps them have a sense of belonging.
