It’s not surprising to see people engaging in some level of physical “activity”, albeit somewhat reckless, being looked down on by users of this site.

Indeed. They are Irelands elite. Leaders of tomorow in business, politics, law, finance,etc, and so by definition, are not the same as the average Paddy. Which makes it easy to laugh at any characteristic that highlights their difference from the rest of society, and rather unfairly too. Yes they live a charmed and privileged life, but give so much back to society as well, yet dont really tend to get their due credit for that.

And that's the danger.

They are so seperated from the normal majority of society that they cannot even fathom issues such as homelessnes per example as money and status is something they are given.

Have no idea how to relate to anyone outside of their enclosed sheltered existence. Ending up in positions of high influence and carrying on their existence away and far removed from the normal paddy.

Is this something to whack them with a stick about? No that's not really fair but you can do things like get rid of private schools.

I believe they inspire an attitude, pompous outlook and a feeling of "elite" which is terrible to bring into the world.

The influence on society in Ireland is detrimental as a result. Nepotism, slaps on the back and higher barriers than ever before for someone on the street.

The boys of Belvedere College have an annual “Sleep Out and Fast” that has been going on for decades at this stage and has raised hundreds of thousands of euro to help homeless charities.

While Belvedere might be on the northside the students wouldn’t be far removed from the lads in Blackrock college.

In Blackrock it’s constantly drummed into you that you’re the leaders of tomorrow and you’re better than the other plebs out there. A superiority complex is bred into you from the very start.

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.

Well this is the greatest load of nonsense i have ever heard, the D4 accent evolved from the old anglo irish RTE accent, it has literally nothing to do with other irish people or "culchies" as you call them... you seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder about this

What a game changer :rolleyes:

I never knew 20 middle class 19 year old pals could have such a "detrimental influence" on Irish society.

Some people really need to listen to themselves sometimes.

Homelessness and societal disparity have nothing to do with Blackrock college. Anyone who believes this probably needs to go back to school.

Agree re the typical chip on the shoulder begrudgery tone here.

What's wrong with people having money? Improving their lot in life?
Or should we all sit on our srses waiting for a free gaff and holding the hand out to the taxpayer?

People here need to cop themselves on. It's these fellas and their parents who pay tax and keep a lot of other wasters afloat.

Absolutely nothing wrong with what the lads are up to sounds like some good clean fun, Group of lads in Thailand could be doing a whole lot worse,

But you can't help but laugh at the accent its almost like a parody,
Iv actually never come across anyone in real life with a accent quite like that, and I was born and raised Dublin ,
Shows in such a small City there really is a cultural divide that half the time you don't even realise exists ,

I know loads of people like him. All usually nice harmless lads but the group mentality means they're usually only interested in rugby, the odd Coldplay gig, Heineken and bland posts on Linkedin. Nice, but a culture vacuum and dull as dishwater.

No you are most definitely wrong. I actually quite like culchies, I have slowly come to accept them over time. It is not really a chip on the shoulder type of thing.

But McCreavy was overlooked with the decentralisation plan, very unfortunate for everyone really.

As I said culchies are fine, it is the climbing, settling ones that move up to the big smoke, they are the problem, they are the ones that phucked everything up.

It is all their fault in fairness, their school choices are elementary after that.

You really should not be giving RTE any credit for the accent, you're reaching too far there pal. Giving RTE credit for anything is not advised, they really don't deserve it.

As I said the accent was developed by ambitious young female culchie types, who wanted rich husbands.

And that's why they succeed.

A major problem in lower socioeconomical areas is that kids are told by people that the system wants you to fail and everybody is against you.

To be fair I grew up just north of the river, but I find it strange in every day life in over 30 odd year's I have rarely come across anyone with the accent from social to sports, to work life and so on , Water downed version but no that "posh"

No doubt there just having a bit of harmless fun and enjoying themselves , probably all good lads from good families,

They tend to grow out of it but go down to Blackrock rugby club on a Saturday and their Dads will be there. Think Neil Francis.

New Dublin English
Evolving as a fashionable outgrowth of the mainstream non-local Dublin English, new Dublin English (also, advanced Dublin English and, formerly, fashionable Dublin English) is a youthful variety that originally began in the early 1990s among the "avant-garde" and now those aspiring to a non-local "urban sophistication".[26] New Dublin English itself, first associated with affluent and middle-class inhabitants of southside Dublin, is probably now spoken by a majority of Dubliners born since the 1980s.[22] It has replaced (yet was largely influenced by) moribund D4 English (often known as "Dublin 4" or "DART speak" or, mockingly, "Dortspeak"), which originated around the 1970s from Dubliners who rejected traditional notions of Irishness, regarding themselves as more trendy and sophisticated;[27] however, particular aspects of the D4 accent became quickly noticed and ridiculed as sounding affected, causing these features to fall out of fashion by the 1990s.[28] New Dublin English can have a fur–fair merger, horse–hoarse, and witch–which mergers, while resisting the traditionally Irish cot–caught merger.

A bit long and convolulated but worth a read.

I was listening to a broadcaster today who makes an effort to have a natural accent, but occasionally they cant police themselves enough.

They were doing very well today until they said Guords instead of Guards.

Ah leave them off, its just a bunch of young lads on holidays, its not their fault they are cnuts, I blame the parents.

There always has to be a 'Mork' in the group.

Emm, is it just me or am I failing to see what's supposed to be so worth listening to in this? It's a rather mundane voice message that isn't intended for publication.

The accesent migh make them a bit of target for ridicule or might even be detrimental to them in some situations. As adults, there is possibly a bit of an effort not to speak like that going on more so for men.

Ugh got through like 30 seconds of that and I'm a bit personally annoyed at my phone that those sounds came out of it.

I'm sure they're grand anyway, I suspect they're the kind of goys who assume the reason they're trending everywhere is because everyone thinks their banter is legendary.

I don't have a problem with the accent, it's the lingo I don't get. What's 'men just bleadin bluein left right and center', if that's what he said.
