Do you find the D4 accent funny?

dilbert2 · 01-10-2011 03:04PM #1

Came across a few people earlier who came (I presume) from somewhere within or around the D4 area. I don't know what it is, but I almost have to hold my laughter in when I'm around these people talking. The kind of accent that goes like.

"I porked the cor in the pob cor pork beforrr goo-in in fuhora pwoint of heino"

Offaly is funny alright. The E sound becomes A.
I remember an old gran uncle of mine telling me he went down to Adenderry to buy a bag of mate.

I think it's actually stupid anyone with that accent is considered D4. ffs. My ma's from D4 and speaks nothing like that. Suppose people love exaggerating though. I wonder what the actual population of D4 is.

Son Of A Vidic · 01-10-2011 03:22PM

I find the D4 accent quite sad and pathetic really.

I am serious(and not from cork) The cork lads just do it for me with that accent.

starviewadams · 01-10-2011 03:24PM

Meh,doesn't really bother me cos I don't come into contact with it too often,there are a lot worse accents floating around in this country anyways.

Yeah its more like a statement than a genuine accent.

+1 On that one- A guy with a Cork accent usually has me swooning before I even look at him.
I should really move there

Yep most things in Offaly are funny alright, it's like the land that time forgot.

Why? People from Donegal and Kerry make different sounds when they speak too -are they sad and pathetic as well or is this just an excuse to spout venom at Southside Dubliners?

Tell us how you think people born and reared in Blackrock or Dun Laoghaire should sound then

candy-gal1 · 01-10-2011 03:35PM

the d4 accent is quite comical i have to say, always sounds as if its put on tbh, which in most cases im sure it is :pac:
cant beat a really burly scottish accent though, by far my favourite, followed by cyavan

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 01-10-2011 03:44PM

Ah yeah it's gas, especially when they say "goys" or "roysh" or something, cracks me up. One of them could be telling me their dog died and I'd just be thinking "ahahahaha you tosser hahahaha", think it's just because it's not an accent I hear very often though.

But it does sound made up like, with other accents from regions near to each other you can hear the similarities (Cork/Kerry/Limerick for example), the D4 one just sounds so affected, it's like all they're saying is "Oi'm from Doblin but I'm definitely not a knocker, daddy went to Trinity"

Kevin Duffy · 01-10-2011 03:44PM

I've done some highly scientifilogical research and my findings reveal that everyone who speaks has an accent. I will now feed the data into the Large Accent Collider and see if we can find a reason why it matters a fúck, but expectations are that it won't.

It is a mixture of "trendy" expressions heard on American films and a deliberate cultivation of what a few generations ago thought was a passable imitation of the home counties accent in England.It reeks of elocution classes and a social climbing/tip your hat to the Brits type of mentality.There is nothing Irish about it and it honestly gives me the willies.

No I don't find it funny, as Irish accents go it is quite easy to understand compared to say a thick Dublin accent or most country accents.

Andy-Pandy · 01-10-2011 03:49PM

I grew up in Ballsbridge, right in the heart of D4, and i know nobody that speaks like that. Its not a D4 accent at all.

I find that statement but to be quite sad and pathetic really.
