And that's the danger.

They are so seperated from the normal majority of society that they cannot even fathom issues such as homelessnes per example as money and status is something they are given.

Have no idea how to relate to anyone outside of their enclosed sheltered existence. Ending up in positions of high influence and carrying on their existence away and far removed from the normal paddy.

Is this something to wack them with a stick about? No that's not really fair but you can do things like get rid of private schools.

I believe they inspire an attitude, pompous outlook and a feeling of "elite" which is terrible to bring into the world.

The influence on society in Ireland is detrimental as a result. Nepotism, slaps on the back and higher barriers than ever before for someone on the street.

What a game changer :rolleyes:

I never knew 20 middle class 19 year old pals could have such a "detrimental influence" on Irish society.

Some people really need to listen to themselves sometimes.

Homelessness and societal disparity have nothing to do with Blackrock college. Anyone who believes this probably needs to go back to school.

Agree re the typical chip on the shoulder begrudgery tone here.

What's wrong with people having money? Improving their lot in life?
Or should we all sit on our srses waiting for a free gaff and holding the hand out to the taxpayer?

People here need to cop themselves on. It's these fellas and their parents who pay tax and keep a lot of other wasters afloat.

Absolutely nothing wrong with what the lads are up to sounds like some good clean fun, Group of lads in Thailand could be doing a whole lot worse,

But you can't help but laugh at the accent its almost like a parody,
Iv actually never come across anyone in real life with a accent quite like that, and I was born and raised Dublin ,
Shows in such a small City there really is a cultural divide that half the time you don't even realise exists ,

I know loads of people like him. All usually nice harmless lads but the group mentality means they're usually only interested in rugby, the odd Coldplay gig, Heineken and bland posts on Linkedin. Nice, but a culture vacuum and dull as dishwater.

No you are most definitely wrong. I actually quite like culchies, I have slowly come to accept them over time. It is not really a chip on the shoulder type of thing.

But McCreavy was overlooked with the decentralisation plan, very unfortunate for everyone really.

As I said culchies are fine, it is the climbing, settling ones that move up to the big smoke, they are the problem, they are the ones that phucked everything up.

It is all their fault in fairness, their school choices are elementary after that.

You really should not be giving RTE any credit for the accent, you're reaching too far there pal. Giving RTE credit for anything is not advised, they really don't deserve it.

As I said the accent was developed by ambitious young female culchie types, who wanted rich husbands.

To be fair I grew up just north of the river, but I find it strange in every day life in over 30 odd year's I have rarely come across anyone with the accent from social to sports, to work life and so on , Water downed version but no that "posh"

No doubt there just having a bit of harmless fun and enjoying themselves , probably all good lads from good families,

New Dublin English
Evolving as a fashionable outgrowth of the mainstream non-local Dublin English, new Dublin English (also, advanced Dublin English and, formerly, fashionable Dublin English) is a youthful variety that originally began in the early 1990s among the "avant-garde" and now those aspiring to a non-local "urban sophistication".[26] New Dublin English itself, first associated with affluent and middle-class inhabitants of southside Dublin, is probably now spoken by a majority of Dubliners born since the 1980s.[22] It has replaced (yet was largely influenced by) moribund D4 English (often known as "Dublin 4" or "DART speak" or, mockingly, "Dortspeak"), which originated around the 1970s from Dubliners who rejected traditional notions of Irishness, regarding themselves as more trendy and sophisticated;[27] however, particular aspects of the D4 accent became quickly noticed and ridiculed as sounding affected, causing these features to fall out of fashion by the 1990s.[28] New Dublin English can have a fur–fair merger, horse–hoarse, and witch–which mergers, while resisting the traditionally Irish cot–caught merger.

A bit long and convolulated but worth a read.

The accesent migh make them a bit of target for ridicule or might even be detrimental to them in some situations. As adults, there is possibly a bit of an effort not to speak like that going on more so for men.

These Rock young fellas wanted to get into the races for free so their grand plan was to ask punters to pretend to be their father.

When I politely told them no they (hilariously with that accent of theirs) menacingly told me that "they'd see me inside." I said grand see ye then boys.

Suppose everyone needs their "thing" to feel hard in their youth even Rock heads, though I thought rugby would have sufficed for that.

IAMAMORON · 18-11-2019 3:03pm

I forgot about Glenstal. Hardcore stuff. In fairness I know some posh Dubs who boarded there. All nice lads.

Ard Scoil Rís sounds very pseudo modern. All the gaeil scoils' in the big smoke are essentially middle class havens as well. A lot of first generation Dubs, places like Stillorgan. These chunts not only get 10 % of everything they get wrong, but also get to slag the Rock and Michaels boys off for being posh. They are the worst imo. They go to the same nightclubs and speak with the same accent, when they choose to. It depends if they are talking to the Rock lads or having a few beers with the lads from Holy Child. They make it up as they go along.

But the sense of entitlement you get off a fluent Irish speaker is excruciating. Look at RTE or the department of education, it is full of them. These are the real clowns influencing Irish society, you can see it seeping out everywhere, it is revolting.

Aye. Tbh, these lads do grate on me - not because of their background, just the way they act. But I can't stand reverse snobbery. And it seems to be highly fashionable. Not just in terms of background but what your tastes are, if you hate seeing English butchered.

Harsh enough Electro. It is also an overthink in fairness. Losing your virginity is a right of passage to teenage blokes. Lets face it these goys will probably be teenagers well into their early thirties.

If you are a "virgin", you are basically letting the side down. Possibly too ugly to " pull the birds". It is all about terminology, you cannot take it too literally.

You can actually be a virgin and call one of your peers " a focking virgin", you essentially accusing them of not keeping up.

This shít is deeper than you think Electro, these dudes are actually deep thinkers underneath it all.
