whats the big deal about scottish accents!

ShriekingSheet · 18-10-2003 09:49PM #1

What is it with guys sporting scottish accents that seems to bring our Irish girls nearly to the point of orgasm!!??

Im a Dublin guy with a fairly neutral/slightly south dublin accent and am always amazed at how girls react to scottish accents!

The most average lookin guy in the world can score like a lord in any Dublin club given the chance to talk to a certain lady and thus display his bloody scottish accent!!!

I am at a loss!

Someone enlighten me!

Girls like different accents mainly just because there different.

Girls with a scottish acent = nyom.

What oeNeo said. And I have no idea why.

You're honestly trying to claim you don't find Rab C Nesbitt sexy?

Shit, I mean Sean Connery. You know, the other scottish guy.

Well to me, the dublin accent is a form of aural rape. I'd pick a scottish accent every time.

Besides, Scottish are cool. People with a Scottish accent sound like they really know how to swear at someone...

I doubt many girls would be bowled over by the Govan taxi driver special which is utterly impenetrable. Highland accent is proberly the nicest though it may not be sexy (whatever the hell that is).

I've always been a fan of Scottish accents-and Northern accents

mm

Sangre · 19-10-2003 04:50PM

Northern Irish accents are teh win, there are a few in my year now....nyom.

Oswald Osbourne · 19-10-2003 04:57PM

The Geordie accent is teh win!

If you're a bloke with it - then I'm sorry for your troubles - but in women it's damn sexy!

cujimmy · 19-10-2003 06:09PM

on the other hand a lot of scots go weak at the knees at the sound of a well spoken irish man. I was recently on local radio here in scotland and got loads of female callers saying that they just loved my accent (educated south dublin but not dart)

Ste- · 19-10-2003 07:48PM

This threads quite amusing especially to me.

Oj and tman and a few others that where in IRC last night will understand why.

IF I was a woman or homosexual I could see my self liking his accent in that way.

(In my view, most cases of people liking/disliking accents would be because of the same reasons people like/dislike people from different counties/areas.

Been Irish, and knowing about the local rumour networks in place throughout Ireland, I could never fault any one for liking people from different places.)

joseph brand · 20-10-2003 12:25AM

girl in my job is from Scotland, and when she gives out in her accent I just want to give her a good f**k like a kangaroo in heat!:horned: :horned:

Oriel · 20-10-2003 01:43AM

I'll hold my head in shame 'cause I have a Northern accent (not such a bad one thankfully).
But come on...as there really anything worse than a Dublin accent??

Surely not...

if only this were true

most of the girls/women you speak to cant even understand you, but insist on just how sexy they think the accent is 'even though they cant understand a word'

then again most people i meet tell me i have a very strong glasgow accent. After a while i learn to speak slower and with less slang, but then i visit back home and its all gone again and i have to start again from scratch

Gordon · 20-10-2003 08:45AM

Aye.

There was a survey done on accents in Britain, the favourite accent was a female Glaswegian accent, the second a London accent. Works for me too. Although the Glasgow Senga accents are affy horrid, the rest are pleasing.

Incidentally, Scottish people get great press throughout the world. If you go abroad and tell people you're Scottish they will more likely than not - like you and want to speak with you. Tell them you 're British or, heaven forbid, English and they will take a more skeptical look at you.

Brou haha.

Yep. As Ste- said, it's sexy because it's different. Loads of foreign women love the Oirish accent (not the Kerry boglands one, the Dub, Ronan Keating, Colin Farrell one) for whatever reason. We tend to laugh at ourselves when we hear one on TV.

3 spanish girls i met on holiday told me the exact same thing while i was on holiday in spain a few years back. I asked them why they often look down on us, they told me it was because they just presumed we were english. They had started talking to me when they seen me with a scotland top on and were really nice to talk to.

Its these bloody english that give us a bad name

I must admit that i like the country (culchies?) accents over here in ireland, although not all of them. Theres a tipp girl in the work where i think her accent is hot, but living in ireland the accent has almost became second nature. The skanger dub accent almost makes my ears bleed though, same with some parts of the N.Ireland accent. I've found though that the northern accent and scottish accent is awful alike (not sounding wise really) but we use the same kind of slang and can generally understand each other a lot better.

Although saying that i've met quite alot of people here in dublin who thought i was from N.Ireland for some reason although usually once i tell them where i'm from they think 'ahh i can spot it now'.

The American and Canadian women go weak at the knees at the sound of an irish accent...

Twas a dead cert when trying to score in a pub over there...

cournioni · 20-10-2003 10:12AM

Thats the best thing about going to pubs/clubs in the US.
