The Dublin Accent

Say what you like about it, but girls from outside Ireland love it.

Well, the neutral (ish) one, neither skang nor southside

I'm from D9.

It depends on where in Dublin.

Dudess · 04-10-2009 11:49PM

I actually love most Dublin accents - apart from the really posh one, which is hideous. There are some slightly posh ones that are fine, but the D4 one just sounds like someone taking the piss.

So why is it that these posters can sterotype a million or so people and not get banned just cause "it's only Dublin"...

If i stereotyped people from Cork as inbreed ****tards *, or Ginger haired people as Pussies* or god forbid mention anything about people from Romania:eek:... i'd be banned no questions asked...

Double standards i reckon..

I am from Dublin and yes i do have a Dublin accent...

Posts reported.

*these are not my beliefs just examples of bannable sterotypeing

Ps. i'm Not trolling... just pissed about these narrow minded views...

They might be narrow minded views in your opinion, but they are not directed at any specific user in this thread.

So no, you would not be banned.

Because there's a million or so people in Dublin with a sense of humour about the whole Dublin thing - most of 'em are northsiders.

'Tis not alway 'cause "ah is black" ya know.

I like the Dublin accent, whenever I hear a female Dub speak, it automatically conveys to me that they are going to be a real saucy minx in bed. Unfortunately my theory remains unproven.

So people can say anything they want once it's not directed at specific user in the thread.....

In that case I could say "All Indian people stink of curry" or "All Chinese people can't see **** due to they're squinty eyes" ....

Both those statements are , IMO stereotypical and borderline Racist.. but they're no directed at anyone in particular so they're OK....???

I know i'm being bit too series for AH but come on..

I do have sense of humour, quiet a good one in fact, it's just some of the post are a bit too much.. eg people with Dublin accents are junkies wife beaters ect...

There are several variants of Dublin accents. You cant lump them all into one category! I like the Dublin accent, whether it be a working class accent from Tallaght or a well-to-do accent from Castleknock. The Dubs have a very precise way of speaking, totally different to any other accent in Ireland. It really is unique. I'd sooner listen to a Dublin City skanger than a Limerick City scobe any day of the week.

The Dublin accent makes girls sound like brutes, hence me having a Polish babe for a girlfriend

Nope

I genuinely do love the Dublin accent, I grew up with it but wasn't surrounded by it, so it's nice and sort of nostalgic whenever I hear it now.

Ever heard Damien Dempsey? He's got an amazing accent

Wompa1 · 05-10-2009 09:42AM

It's terrible...its a mix of some awful English accent and tinker speak..even regular types in Dublin seem scummy when they talk

Dublin accent... hated by male boggers. Loved by women boggers (and English women) this is why women swarm to the city and let Dublin lads have their way with them. Most of them end up marrying Dublin fella's.

They will NEVER admit this too you and some of them might even come on here and say they don't even like the accent.

A thanks you to all you country lads. Your sisters, mothers (in some cases), daughters and wives are lovely lovely women. I thoroughly enjoyed bringing them home and having such good fun with them. Their hen nights, their "shopping trips", their "girly weekends" are such a gift. They did things with me that they would never dare to do in their little towns, the anonymity of the big city loosens inhibitions and much to my delight gives them a freedom to do unspeakable things. My single life was amazing thanks to your girls melting in the big city.

So, next time wave goodbye to your daughter, mum, sister, cousin, girlfriend, wife as they head off to Dublin, try not think of me and my Dublin friends to much, there is nothing you can do about it.

...steve collins....jaysus i thought you said itinerant...haha

You know I have to say that you're not very funny. You're from Naas so hardly in a position to talk about horrible accents. I'm originally from Kill and so went to school in Naas and spent many a Saturday there.

The true Naas accent is pretty revolting, if somone's family has a long history in Naas and that person is very working class the accent is nothing to write home about. A strong countryside knacker style accent.

To slag the Dublin accent outright isn't on. There is a huge variety of accents here some gorgeous on a lady and some that are just hideous. Cabra, inner city, rathmines, rathcoole etc............. they all sound different and this is coming from someone who's a blow-in.

Mild accent is ok, nice on birds. Strong ones are pretty awful.

Actually, the Cork girls are the dirtiest ones when it come to loving the Dubs. They don't call it the rebel county for nothing! The Cork girls love rebelling against their traditions and get it going with a rough Dublin lad with a very strong Dublin accent... The last time I bought a nice Cork girl home she insisted I wear a Leinster Jersey as I had fun with her. Her Cork husband would be horrified, but then again, that is what excited her I guess.

The_B_Man · 05-10-2009 12:54PM

lol it seems the amount of non-dubs on AH has finally risen above the number of dubs.

you shoulda just started a poll called "Are you from dublin? Yes/no?".

Whether you like an accent or not depends on who you know from that area. I hate the Derry accent on lads (cos they're knobs when they're down for a match) but love it on ladies (cost they're great when they're down for a match....);)
