    Fake d4 by the most. No need for this especially post recession.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,981 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Cork is the worst by a mile. Sounds atrocious, particularly on women "like".

    The non-D4, non-skanger, generic Dublin accent is the best, though some Nordy accents are sexy as fook.

    Worst by far is Louth....sounds like years of inbreeding.

    It would be better in German, just to get the message across, with a bit of heel clicking for added emphasis.

    more Dublin bashing by the hay munchers:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Limerick ones are pretty bad. Louth too.

    Skangy dublin is rotten too, but I like a normal, working class Dublin accent.

    I love a certain type of Belfast accent on a girl. The normal, working-class one. The skangy version is atrocious though.

    Donegal accent rocks. Used to work with a girl from Donegal, I would have listened to her all day.

    Hate a thick Dublin accent : 'staaaaary buuud'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem


    Don't have a favourite one but the D4 accent goes through me like a shard of glass.

    Favourite is Donegal or Belfast (but only on a hot female for the latter), least favourite is North Dublin, but most annoying is Cork, simply because communication is extremely difficult.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,397 ✭✭✭Paparazzo


    The tracksuit wearing Dublin scumbag accent has to be the worst. You know the people that you just look at and you know they're a scumbad. Sometimes they wear their tight jeans with tracksuit top. All the blokes must go the the same barber to get the scumbag haircut. The women all push a buggy to the dole office with a johnny blue in their mouth, wear leggins and a bright pink top.
    I hate scumbags.

    Hes a Mayoman trying to make his accent more stately and dignified. It just makes him sound like an idiot.

    I like Northern Irish and Donegal accents.

    Cork accents vary: If a girl has a strong Cork accent and she's not a scobe, it can be really attractive. If she's a pure skanger though, it sounds horrible.

    I really don't like Dublin City accents though. I was in a taxi in Dublin recently and the taxi driver was a lovely man and he chatted away for the whole journey, yet all the time I couldn't help thinking "Jaysus, your voice is annoying."
