    3 southside schoolgirls on Late Late Show young scientist slot last night.

    I was born n'raised in Blackrock/Glenageary but the accent they spoke with is utterly foreign to me.

    Add in their make up fetish and Orange County is a fairly apt description of them.

    speaking as a bogger it is pronounced "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

    Mam and Dad

    Mum is English short for "Mummy have Jeffery get my Eton blazer at once".

    Ma and Da are disgusting

    Mom is American.

    Mam or nanny when talking around my niece or nephews


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 74 ✭✭CitizenKeane


    Mam and Dad of course....

    I could never Mum or Mom. If I don't say 'Mam', it is 'Mother'.
