When in my leaving cert year in Mayo a girl in my class intentionally changed her accent to a D4 one as she was hoping to get into Trinity. I kid you not.

Is it? I reckon you hear as many fairly well-off kids putting on scobe accents to appear hard as you do putting on a D4 accent to seem posh.

I put on a Dublin accent when I'm in a taxi so the driver doesn't realise I'm actually from Africa and am just here to steal his livelihood and molest his domestic animals.

I hope she failed and was sent to some farm/torture camp in Belmullet to grow her accent back.

Pretty infuriating alright. I was chatting to one lad in the pub one night with such an accent. I assumed he was from south Dublin until he declared "I'm from Sligo". Now, I have no problem with a South County Dublin accent. It's only natural to develop an accent over time based on the your surroundings and the people who occupy it. But this business of adopting an accent based on 2 years studying in UCD/Griffith College is the height of pretentiousness. When I told yer man that I come from Mayo, he replied "Roight. How do you fing living in Dublin?" rather than "Wait til we get ye Mayo cúnts up to Markivecz Park and we'll hammer seven shades a' shíte outta ye, ya Mayo bollicks ya!"

In fairness I'm sure he has a sheep locked up back home to remind himself of where he's from.

The D4 accent didn't exist until about 15/20 years ago. It started when a load of idiotic posh kids tried to sound like they're from California after watching too much Bill and Ted but somehow stuck.

dolphin city

it came with the celtic tiger, along with wine CONasseurs and other nonsensical things.

hopefully it will all be knocked out of them now that they cannot afford to go to college anymore

anyone see that annoying person on the Ber Rating Ad - makes me want to punch the telly

No, I don't think so. If they had elocution lessons they might actually speak properly. What they speak can only barely be called english. Some examples:

car =/= cor
like=/= loike
hi =/= hoi
guys=/= goys
totally =/= todally

and so on and so on...

I knew a bloke who was working in a golf club bar for a summer as a student. He hated the whole class system and D4 snobbery and was thinking about quitting.
One day a Ross O'Carrol Kelly type asked him for a Cuke.
Yer mans says " A what"
Ross says "A cuke!!"
Yer mans hands him a bag of peanuts
Ross says "A focking cuke. Loike ore you tootally deaf?"
Yer man answers "Sorry i havnt a clue what you are saying"

He was sacked a very amused man.

its kinda sad to be offendeed by an accent OP. Would you rather people who actually live in Dublin 4 to fake a north Dublin accent just to please you?

They're faking their current accent, so why not? Their parents don't speak like that, no-one under the age of 40 speaks like that, so why do they?

This D4 'accent' isn't actually an accent, it's an affectation.

What class system
As someone once said on boards.ie so eloquently "Every person in Ireland is only 2 generations removed from being a muck savage"

Most of the time its not faking. The accent annoys me too but I don't think you should judge people for it anymore then you shouldn't judge someone with a north sider accent. You can't try to socially police young people, they'll do what they want.

the strange thing is, what i bolded in your post is found all over the south side the same as the d4 accent is found all over the northside

I grew up on the southside, went to one of the 'rugby' schools, hung out with the typical crowd from those schools so I naturally have an accent like you talk about. I certainly didn't make it up and to be honest I wish I didn't have it. I am in no way like the stereotyped Ross O'Carroll Kelly type and yet have been in countless situations where I'm slagged about my accent, starts off innocent but I can sense something a little deeper.
Be it in college, meeting new people, at gigs or anywhere really, I usually get the usual nonsense from idiots. I really urge anyone that has a problem with an accent....that's right, an accent, to cop on and grow up. It doesn't paint you in a good light at all and you come across as pretty pathetic or as one of my southside brethren would say

treble morto for you loike

Good point. And that is why it is so grating on the ears.

My sister does this. She's from Cork. And every sentence is finished with the pitch of her voice going up like a question in a smarmy D4 kind of way. And there's no point in pointing it out, she's oblivious to it.

Also, it's not uncommon to pick up accents relatively quick. A couple of months in Canada and I was 'abooting' and 'aying' all over the place. Sure I went up to Donegal to my girlfriend's family last year for a week and when I got back my mates pointed out that for a day I had a bit of an accent.

Yes true but the accents in both Donegal and Canada have been there for a lot longer than 20 or 30 years, I think thats the issue.
