What's the worst accent?

Fago!

For me it's the Drogheda accent. It's terrible. Absolutely horrible. But so funny. I pity people with that accent. I crack up laughing when I hear it.

Talking to a bloke from "Dwaawwda" yesterday and he saw someone on the TV and goes "Oowh, oi dun loike him, hee wamiynds mee a moy ex, especially de beeawd" - translation - "Oh, I don't like him, he reminds me of my ex, especially the beard" I burst out with laughter. Another time in Mcdonalds, a Drogheda fella working there shouted for more hamburgers "MAW HAMBAWGAWS" and a few people were laughing at him and shouting maw hambawgaws at him...... Hehe. Maw.

Yuck!

So what do you think is the worst accent in Ireland? Or even anywhere else in the world.

I actually love the Norn Iron accent, went out with a guy from Belfast for a spell, if he was annoying me and I was stuck for a comeback I'd just go "durdle urdle urdle urrr sitcheeayshin", he hated it

The Sligo town accent is cat, totally flat and nasal with elongated vowels "eeeeh whaaaaadaya saaaaayin'? Fúckin' shtaaaaaate a ya! Ine gonna get a saaaasage saaaangwich fer me brekkkfast", but I've moved to LImerick city which isn't much better. I can deal with those accents though, as long as I don't have to listen to a Louth one.

Dublin skanger accent and fake D4 accents. Hate both. Also, Bristol West Country and Lancashire accents.

I hear ya. Most annoying one for me is the fake black London accent that came about in the last few years, and the white kids are doing it there too now.

Watched Fargo the other night, according to IMDb the accents are only a slight exaggeration. What a terrible accent! Funny though...

I was in a club in Dublin a few months ago at my friend´s hen and this fella started chatting me up at the bar...he said I sounded like I was from Louth!! How could he possibly think that would get him into my knickers?? I don´t sound like I´m from Louth, I´ve got a distinctive North County Dublin accent thank you very much! I was deeply offended.

Ah now,that was a compliment, a Louth accent beats a dublin one anyday! But anyway yeah that was strange,there's nothing in common at all between the 2 accents

Some people from Drogheda could be mistaken for being from North Dublin.

Kildare's the same but it does take some of the spillover population from Dublin.

What I find laughable is the cork accent many say we have dosent exist..Like Americans and thhat dreaded Irish accent.

I can remeber watching the O2 ad with the knitting and it was ment to be the cork guy in it..I never once in my life hear dthat accent!

The most dreadfull Cork accent in the North Side city...but tbh I dont find it ahlf as bad as some of the North side or south side bulin accents!((There are many accents everywehre..changing every few miles throughout this Island!))

Really?

They sound quite similar to me. Maybe Drogheda isn't as strong as most Northside ones and has a rhotacism that isn't found in Dublin, but otherwise I think they are similar.

How Soon Is Now

The way Africans talk there accent manky like someone inflated there lips and tongue. Ya don't have clue what there saying most the time.

Minstrel27

The accent in Drogheda is pretty bad but it comes 2nd place to the North Dublin accent. That is awful.

I always thought the Wickla accent was pretty carp, its like a mix of a boggers accent a tiny bit of Dub and spoken at a real slow pace.

Inner City scummy disgusting foul accent that makes me want to puke?

[Deleted User]

Its not so much accents that annoy me, its more that condescending tone people have in their voice when for some reason they think they are better than someone else!

Its funny here, becasue even though i cant hear any of you, I am getting that same grating smugness from many of the comments in this thread.

No not really,a lot of people from dublin have moved up to drogheda in the last few years,but the traditional townies have the traditional imbred accent! Kildare and Wicklow would be a bit more similiar but not a lot. Drogheda people stress out vowels a lot,a bit like the dundalk accent,but saying that again there's not much similiarities there!

I don't have a problem with any accent per se, just any accent that's too strong, e.g:
strong bogger accent - ugh
strong knacker Dublin accent - ugh
strong D4 accent - horrendous
strong Cork accent - owwww my ears!
strong London accent - pass
strong nordie accent - sounds like a seal in heat
strong Glasgow accent - as rough as a badgers arse
strong kilkenny accent - woeful

the list goes on...

I, on the other hand, have a beautiful accent
