Revolting Dublin Accents

And You (plural) all sound like Jon Kenny (the less famous one from D'Unbelievables) in the Eurovision Episode of Fr. Ted before he goes on stage. Yes, all of you......."shave a bullock etc."

Also you (singular) do realise that saying "Ye" is equivalent to the knackeriest Dublin scumbag saying "Youse", don't you?

Rather sound like that, than sound like a knacker.

oh and you do realise that 'ye' is used as the plural of 'you' all over Ireland by a lot of people?
Or did you just think you were being smart to say that?

I do realise it's used all over Ireland, what i'm trying to convey is that it is grammatically incorrect to do so, as grammatically incorrect to use "youse" was my original point. The fact that everyone is doing it, doesn't make it right.

Ergo, you're akin to a Dublin 'knacker', at least in a lexicographical manner. (Now I am trying to be smart).

Just heard Ronan Gilligan AA Roadwatch saying "snow is falling heavy"...heavily sunshine.

There's another so called posher Dub accent I hate.. "Fludding" instead of "flooding"

"T" seems to be the letter that fooks up the Doob big time.

Lotto=Lottho or Loh'o
What= Whah or whor
Sympathetic= Symparetic or Sympaththethic

The list goes on

People need to get out more if all they can worrie about are the accents of the people around them. Seriously the only time you need to bothered by it even just a little is when (in the case of Dublin) it's the put on Knacker or D4 accents, neither of which are real Dublin accents. when it comes to people from the country all Dubs need to worrie about is if they can understand what they are saying, if you can then what's the big fcuking deal it's not as if they are speaking Japanese.

I'm sure Dublin can survive quite well without one more country bumpkin.

I always felt there was variety in Dublin accents. I've made friends in Dublin who have well spoken and clear accents, and friends I've almost needed a translator for at first.

Cousint = Aunt's son

Crips = taytos
Ascairt = in fear of
Foy-iv = less than 6, more than 4
Fillum = movie
Herr'ild = nuachtán
b'day-its = Shpuds
Gerrowadatgarden = Gerr'up da yard = Are you serious?
etc.

Fantastic vernacular altogether.

I was always under the impression that Dubliners were unaware of the existence of anything 'outside Dublin'.

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.

I dont see anything wrong in someone speaking in their natural accent,its these americanised D4 accents i cant stand and you get versions of it in Cork,where im from ,as well.

Min

I didn't read of all of this thread.


The worst Dublin accent is the drug addicts accent from the north side, the ones in the south side are probably in rehab.

HashSlinging

I know two people from limerick, who both have put on "D4" accents..

I see Jonners is "stuck on 2"" would have shown promise in a forum east of here.

I hear this one a lot lately from the young and gifted.."Loike duhh dude.some of us have to 'werik' for a living loike" and "can you text that to my 'feunne'

I'm presume they mean 'work' and 'phone'.
