Most accents in Ireland annoy me, mainly Cork, Dublin, Louth, obviously excluding the Offaly accent as it is perfect. I hate the Yorkshire accent too, and since last weekend i now hate some American accent.

I remember spending half an hour explaining the concept of an accent to an american before. Didnt even understand the idea that people in new york had different american accents to people in alabama.

It would seem as far as americans are concerned, by definition an accent means 'anything that sounds non - american':rolleyes:

There is no such thing as a 'normal accent' and if there was, if anything, it would be an English accent. I dunno how to break this to you but people have been speaking english around the world far before there was ever such a thing as the USA never mind the American accents.


feck sake, then you guys wonder why you have such a bad reputation around the world for being clueless.

I'm busting your balls dude, calm down. I know we talk different. I just like giving you Europeans a hard time = P

Good on guys: Irish (pretty much everything but the Dublin one), Scottish, most Eastern European, German, some southern US, some English, Cajun.
Good on girls: French, Polish, Italian, some English, neutral American.

Bad on guys: French, Italian.
Bad on girls: Australian.

Bad on everyone: Italian-American, New York (or worse, Italian-American New York :eek:), Boston, Spanish, chav English, Geordie, Dublin, pretty much any Asian accent, and I hate to say it, but stereotypical Canadian.

The Hyundai Accent is the best.

Birds with Northern (or Ulster accents) and then the ones from Donegal that speak in Irish. Deadly!

Northen irish accent on a girl..... *druel*

Also partial to the polish accent..

South dublin accents are off putting most of the time, especially when they start to sound like men..

I have a thing for Northern Irish accents. Particularly Donegal. She's a winner if she has that accent.

I have a Cork accent, although it's not a strong one. People struggle to guess here I'm from most of the time. I am an unknown quantity.

davetherave

Donegal accent on a woman is great

sdanseo

Charlene McKenna + Monaghan accent = orgasm.

That is all.

Scottish, Cark or Nordie accent on a chick.

Pretty much all Irsh brogues are nice on a girl except pantomime Dublin accents from both sides of the Liffey, and ones who can't pronounce their r's.

ToniTuddle

Donegal is getting more yes votes woooo happy days

Don't really pay too much attention to the different Irish accents. Can't tell the difference in some of them.
Only one I can't stand is the country Kerry one. One of my old mates has it and bloody hell it would do your head in everytime.
Use to be mad about the Scottish accent until I actually dated a few lads from there. Been permanently put off it now.

I love most Irish accents esp Cork, Kerry, Donegal *swoon*, American, French, Italian, Spanish and most European countries

Do not like the waterford accent

French, Cork, Donegal, Finnish = Major stirring in my pants

Don't like Monaghan. Or "Kyavan".
There something about a D4 accent that I like!
Northern accent too.

Me too, sort of. Some people hear it immediately, most people can't put a finger on my accent at all.
