    Tried that, but all I heard was ("I'm not racist but") Nigerian accents :confused:

    I hate every accent.

    Including my own sometimes. It's still better than everybody else's.

    Though I have noticed that Dublin accents have a great tendency to make my ears bleed.

    Yeeeeech!!!

    As a card carrying culchie,I was listening to the Radio today and almost chucked when I heard this guy articulating in the most fcukin revolting Dublin accent I have heard in yonks.

    Led me to consider the long list of skangery Dublin accents amongst our 'revered'ones and my TopTen would be.

    1.. Val Andrews
    2..Brian Kerr
    3..Des Cahill
    4..Colm McCarthy (Bord Snip)
    5.. Dermuid Ferritéar
    6.. John Murray
    7..Bill Cullen
    8.. Any of the Sheridan brothers
    9.. Bono
    10.. 95% of League of Ireland Managers.with honourable mention for Stephen Kenny.

    These bring up the bile in me good time.


    1. I've no idea who half those people even are.
    2. Of those I do know, only Brian Kerr and Bill Cullen have accents that could remotely be described as "skangery".
    3. I'm pretty sure Des Cahill is from Kildare.

    All in all, I'd have to mark it down as a FAIL.

    I'd happily be labelled a knacker provided that my spelling, punctuation and use of appropriate capitalisation were somewhere above the level of simian with severe mental retardation. Although I'm sure "ye" don't even see the inherent irony of your post.

    I don't understand all this about accents. People either talk Cork, gay, Polish or normal.

    Nobody with an Irish accent has any right to slag anyone else's accent, we all sound ridiculous anyway! We should all try to cultivate Scottish accents.

    A small part of the town is in County Dublin (both Fingal and South) and another small part is in Meath. Most is in Kildare though.

    I get the same stick whereever I go in the country.

    I'd be far more revolted by the stream of west-brit/mid atlantic/SoCal/Dort accents that have emerged from Dublin in the past 20 years than I would by any of the real Dublin accents alluded to in the OP. The real Dub accent is slowly dieing and that's a shame.
    You can tell who those people are on here by the way they put question marks at the end of statements.

    My accent is the greatest accent in the world and women fall at my feet when I talk to them.

    We also have a tendancy to bleed from the bollix.

    Well, considering sounding like a knacker has nothing to do with how one would type then I'm quite sure you don't see the stupidity of your post or I'm guessing you wouldn't have posted it..

    Most of us (i think) can tell the difference between the various accents
    Loads of accents in and from Dublin: heres a few,
    Innercity dub street accent - swhaaar
    Oul dub inner city accent - 5 for fifty
    D4/D6 - Ryosh
    Dublin transatlantic - OMG
    Suburban Dublin - Depends on the area but alot of strong of swhaar wannabes, but also quite a good amount of neutral accents (just irish sounding)

    I've heard some "yung fellas" shooting the breeze recently and I swear to god, I couldn't understand a single thing they were saying, it was fast, but deffo Dub! But sounded like a different language all together!

    But we seem to be able to tell the difference from different regions in the UK and usually whereabouts in the USA by there accent! But they cannot hear the difference from our regions! It's just Irish!

    For me, my accent I'd call it neutral, but the lads i grew up with have stronger dub accents, though one of the lads sound like he's from Sligo but all born and bred in D-blanch! I dunno about where your from or who you hang about with, but your parents have a huge influence in how you speak, I was always being corrected for my Th's eg: dis and dat = This and That. And if I had any twang of a Howaya or swhaar, my parents would be quick to correct me!
    Unfortunately people judge you on your accent before getting to know you!

    I remember there was a thread a few months ago in PI becuase this lad was afraid of his "salt of the Earth" Dub neighbour just becuase of his accent. I lolled.
