Do You have a Posh Accent

How would you describe your accent?? (If your from Dublin) do you speak with a thick Dublin brogue? Or are you more D4 type? Or somewhere in between.. Id say Im somewhere in between myself

For Example...Do you say roundabout or raindabaish?? Or roundabou'??

I have no accent at all. I'm a bond villain. At least I'd like to be.

I'm a posh scobie. Dont sound like a complete "howya, stoooorrrreee bud" but a long way off the "heino roish?" people. When I'm talking to mates I still tend to drop the last T or D off most words, and I do say deadly a lot. In work, i try to be neutral.

Typically no accent...Until I moved in with a load of Norn Iron heads...

Round these parts I'd be accused of having a posh accent, but when around my parents or back where I grew up I'd most defiantely not be considered posh. My accent is just different from the norm where I currently reside.

I grew up with a posh upper-class English accent.
In Cavan.
We don't know why.

My parents aren't posh or English.
There were no posh or English people in the vicinity.

We put it all down to the BBC. Goddamn BBC. Do you know how annoying it is when you've got a posh English accent in a strongly Republican area?

posh

I have a country accent according to the Dubs and a posh accent according to the country folks.

My Dads from cavan and if turf could speak.. it'd sound like my dad.

Bit of a scumbag accent, drop off the endings of words all the time, and "th" is pronounced pretty much as a soft "d".

Mix of Dub/ n.ireland. Bit weird really at times. cant stand posh accents!!

rubadub · 24-03-2006 01:16PM

definitely in between. Some have said I have a dublin accent, but then I used to get lots of scumbags asking "are you posh??" when I was younger, i.e. looking for a fight, so obviously they thought I had a posh accent. Some scum would try and mimic me putting on a D4 accent, conversely country people would mimic my accent to sound like a thick accented dublin scumbag.

Same here. Although I would prefer to think my accent was "neutral".

county · 24-03-2006 01:34PM

i have`nt a posh accent,more so a mild manchester accent

HomesickAlien · 24-03-2006 01:40PM

despite having been born and raised in dublin i have a slight american influence on my accent. boggles the mind really....

tbh · 24-03-2006 01:46PM

I'm kinda neutral I think. People tell me I've more of a country accent than a Dublin one, nice and non-specific. I tell you what accent I hate the most tho - the "posh northside" accent. For examples, see Charlie Kelly from Fair City or Simon Delaney doing radio ads.

Green_Martian · 24-03-2006 02:00PM

No way am i Posh..........:D

I wouldn't say i sound like a scobie either..........I have thick Dublin accent but nothing like "ahhhhhhhhh howayyyyyyyy Chungone"

jonny68 · 24-03-2006 02:16PM

I just have a normal Dublin accent but it really depends on who I am speaking too. The posher the other person is the posher I tend to be. I really hate the D4 friends accent, especially in people from the country!!!!!!!

Hagar · 24-03-2006 02:22PM

Where I come from I don't have an accent, but you do.;)
