Most embarrassing county to say your from?

life_is_music

Cork definately isnt the worst!!!!

At least people have heard of Cork!!!

I must admit the Cork CITY accent is unbearable but the rest of the county doesn't sound the same!!

The dublin aceent is worse....

Most embarassing counties:

Leitrim, longford, cavan, offaly etc...

How depressing is this that my hometown earns these statistics:

Oldest average population in Ireland, no fresh pussy
Second highest number of bachelors per capita in Ireland, no pussy to be given out

But at least there's this:
Highest percentage of Leaving Certificate students continuing on to third level education in Ireland. Boo-yah, we're smart sheep-shaggers!

There may be a co-relation between those statistics.

Well we are all from Muff if ya think about it. (Gets worse though there's a place up beside Muff called Graines (sp?) Gap)

Back on topic, I'd say Kerry.

Ah sure I know that but being from Muff in Muff would be better...

Also "Tipp-her-hairy" as I call it is non-existant except for the fact that I call it by a cool name..

Has to be Dublin!

I for one am proud of my Carkonian heritage.

Our high pitched tone, unique choice of slang and our natural instinct to tell people where we're from defines us from the murderers of Limerick, the sand people of Roscommon, Leitrim etc etc and the West Britons of Dublin ( Now Encompassing Kildare, Meath and Wicklow)! :pac:

I am also proud to be a native of the city where the greatest soccer player to ever come out of Ireland hails from, and the county where the great Michael Collins was born!

never saw a county express so much emotion as when leitrim won the connaught title in 1994, i heard Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh talking about this too, he was amazed at the scenes that day

They were pretty amused when Nigel Dineen lead the Rosc*** team in a game of cock pool too. ~smirk~

Agreed! Very hard to listen to. Maybe we should make a table or something to see which has the most votes, but methinks Lietrim is winning.

On the Cavan thing, yeah we of the neighbouring counties (Monaghan) do give ye some slagging. But sure tis all in good fun!

This thread is similar to a Stock, Aiken, Waterman record from the late 80's.

What's the worst county accent?
What county has the biggest scumbags?
Would you watch Winning Streak if someone from your county was on it?


It's the same aul ****e of a thread, isn´t though?

A chance for someone from Kerry to slag off Cork, or Derry/Donegal, Meath/Dublin, Louth/Meath................bla bla and so on.

all the dirty nordie countys that think there irish......d only gud thing to come out of nordie land is harp

Its actually not from the North. It was first created and is brewed in The Great Northern Brewery which is in Dundalk.

My vote goes to Louth purely because of the horrible accent. Steve Staunton's "Am the gaff-uh he-yuh" anyone? There sems to be a gradient as the accent gets worse as you move north from Drogheda to Ardee to Dundalk where the native speech becomes unintelligible! I cringe when I'm standing on the train platform in the evening and hear a convo between Louth commuters.

Well its no the most embarrassing county to say your from because no one from Louth says they are from Louth they will either say they are from Dundalk or Drogheda

As a Corkonian, I'll have to say Kerry!

The training facilities the Irish team were given were an absolute joke.
Keane had the balls to raise this issue and McCarthy treated him like **** because of it.

A 31-way tie between all those counties that aren't Dublin.

If I had to be specific, I'd probably say Cavan because you'd spend your whole life trying to live down the tight Cavan git label, even if you were the most generous person on the planet. Honorable mentions go to Longford and Leitrim, because everyone knows they're just made up and don't exist.

That high-pitched Cork accent is only spoken by people of the lower classes...and common people!

Some parts of Dublin are really hard to understand. Just the other night (in Chicago) this Dublin lad said 'Yizgotalightboys' in a tenth of a second. I had to ask him to repeat himself twice. I can only imagine how hard it would be for shop assistants to understand him.

Cork.

Without a doubt, it's the worst place in Ireland.

I'm from there and I regard it as an embarrassment.

The accent, people (not all of them but a significant majority), mindset, arrogance, intelligence (or lack of same to be more accurate) and average personality that can be found in the place truly makes Cork the hellhole of Ireland.

And to paraphrase Dylan Moran, Cork stupid people sound stupider than other stupid people.
