What's the worst accent?

Star Bingo

well it should be localized accent of choice which sounds like its being knowingly dragged through the gutter but nothing makes me cringe more than a posh dub with those english/american tones not the harshest but most cringeworthy accent in the world imo, just shoot yourself it reeks of wanker

The D4 Dorsh line accent is getting worse, I thought in a recession theyd lose a bit of it, but was at the rugby over the weekend and it was painful listening to people around me.

Id be happier sitting with salt of the earth types to be honest.

Which one's better, dundaaaaawlk hey or draaaaaaawda hey??

I'd go for the former because i'm from there, the 'draaaaaawda' accent has got to be one of the funniest sounding accents i've ever heard, for example: "Are ya headin down tooooun hey" and "Give us a cuuuorly wooorlly hey"

Ahh now come on, you know that's not true.... i've been living just outside the town for many years now and i don't know one person from 'dwaaaaaawda' that pronounces their r's.

Edit: They 'CAN' yes, but they don't.

I find the Donegal accent sexy as hell on girls. As for lads well it just sounds like music is playen all the time . Quite a soothing accent IMO depending on the pacing of the speaker etc .

W.Shakes-Beer

Arklow. Sounds like speaking with a mouth full of marbles and/or ballbag.

WindSock

Yeah Lowiid is pretty bad. Also Australian, it's so whiiiiney. Same with parts of the States.

Jaysus thats a funny one,its a source of real humour that drogheda people can't pronounce their r's, most people are fine with their r's but i think its the townies who don't pronounce their r's properly.....hey!

Yeah I agree, but i don't agree that it's the worst, i think it's the best as the drogheda one follows up.

I heard a man on the Six One news today, some farmer talking about the weather. Not a clue where he was from, but i couldn't understand a single word of what he said. It was just weird sounds coming out of his mouth...

Obviously no one has been to Ardee hey?

Ardee accent is possibly the most distinct in the country and god awful.

Hmm looks like I'm going to have to keep my lazy Southside drawl to myself at the next beers

At least it's not an extreme Southside accent- I don't say dorsh but sometimes I don't fully manage the "ow" sound in words like "round" and there's a slight "raind" to it (only slight, mind you!). The more I drink the more D4 I become. I'm sure if you graphed "number of Oh My God's" per sentence versus units of alcohol consumed it'd be proportional!

I normally have a wicklow accent( no not a wickla one ) but the drunker i get the more d4 it gets

We were talking about this once in college(all of us from different parts of the country) and we all thought by far the Dublin accents are as they are so out of place with the rest of us :L

newbee22

Wickla town accent has to be the worst, closely followed by the Waterford one.

Dublin teenagers who have a weird fake american accent

I find a lot of them speak with that fluent West Atlantic/American accent alright. They could be from Galway, Dublin, Londford ect, but they all sound the same. Grow da fcuk up! Leave the 'herd' and be yourself ffs sake!

I'll take that as a compliment.
I was watching Sky News doing a report on our weather, and they interview a gent from Galway..
Embarrassing enough to see them on RTÉ, but to think people in other countries trying to understand him...
