Seriously what is the Dublin 4 accent
Allow me. A D4 Accent is an accent that people outside Dublin immediately acquire when they move to Dublin. They speak with this accent to try and fit in and so they can sound clever. Incredibly popular with aspiring Cork women especially. They drop this D4 accent when they are angry or very excited.0 -

So its that haughty tauty accent that sounds like a student but not Dublin and yet Dublin
I really can not abide when someone begins to speak as such (said with Dublin 4 accent picture it) 0 -

Those who grew up in tallaght, ballymun and the liberties had to put on yet another very fake but much needed accent. They needed to sound as hard as nails, so they could "survive".
A lot of us with a bit of a brain have a fairly neutral accent. Don't need to prove ourselves to anybody.
I hate both the D4 and hard as nails wannabe scumbag accent, their users are mupets also.
I had encounter with them was very interesting after a slagging match from them with their ever so snobbish accents,they got in a golf gti and came back around past my friend and i.As they continued to shout abuse out window like pack of animals and drunk:rolleyes:(so much for their snobbish accents ad upbringing) the driver smashed into the back of a taxi driver in front of him. No longer laughing nor his accent nor where he lived was getting him out of that one 0 -

LOL at the "weekly culchie rant" tag which someone always adds to these threads.
There are aspects to Dublin-speak that I find so endearing and which actually make me laugh (in a good way) - for instance, "yiz". May seem innocuous, but I just think it's really funny. I don't know why. I always chuckle when I hear Bill Cullen say it.
And the adding of "o" to various nouns/proper nouns - "lotto" appears to be universal now but it has to have originated in Dublin. 0 -
