Do you find the D4 accent funny?

dilbert2

Came across a few people earlier who came (I presume) from somewhere within or around the D4 area. I don't know what it is, but I almost have to hold my laughter in when I'm around these people talking. The kind of accent that goes like.

"I porked the cor in the pob cor pork beforrr goo-in in fuhora pwoint of heino"

Balfie

I find it annoying.



























daddy, credit card. NOW.

Offaly is funny alright. The E sound becomes A.
I remember an old gran uncle of mine telling me he went down to Adenderry to buy a bag of mate.

I think it's actually stupid anyone with that accent is considered D4. ffs. My ma's from D4 and speaks nothing like that. Suppose people love exaggerating though. I wonder what the actual population of D4 is.

Son Of A Vidic

I find the D4 accent quite sad and pathetic really.

I am serious(and not from cork) The cork lads just do it for me with that accent.

Yeah its more like a statement than a genuine accent.

+1 On that one- A guy with a Cork accent usually has me swooning before I even look at him.

Why? People from Donegal and Kerry make different sounds when they speak too -are they sad and pathetic as well or is this just an excuse to spout venom at Southside Dubliners?

Tell us how you think people born and reared in Blackrock or Dun Laoghaire should sound then

candy-gal1

the d4 accent is quite comical i have to say, always sounds as if its put on tbh, which in most cases im sure it is :pac:
cant beat a really burly scottish accent though, by far my favourite, followed by cyavan

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Ah yeah it's gas, especially when they say "goys" or "roysh" or something, cracks me up. One of them could be telling me their dog died and I'd just be thinking "ahahahaha you tosser hahahaha", think it's just because it's not an accent I hear very often though.

But it does sound made up like, with other accents from regions near to each other you can hear the similarities (Cork/Kerry/Limerick for example), the D4 one just sounds so affected, it's like all they're saying is "Oi'm from Doblin but I'm definitely not a knocker, daddy went to Trinity"

I've done some highly scientifilogical research and my findings reveal that everyone who speaks has an accent. I will now feed the data into the Large Accent Collider and see if we can find a reason why it matters a fúck, but expectations are that it won't.

It is a mixture of "trendy" expressions heard on American films and a deliberate cultivation of what a few generations ago thought was a passable imitation of the home counties accent in England.It reeks of elocution classes and a social climbing/tip your hat to the Brits type of mentality.There is nothing Irish about it and it honestly gives me the willies.

No I don't find it funny, as Irish accents go it is quite easy to understand compared to say a thick Dublin accent or most country accents.

Andy-Pandy

I grew up in Ballsbridge, right in the heart of D4, and i know nobody that speaks like that. Its not a D4 accent at all.

I find that statement but to be quite sad and pathetic really.

Which is why I referred to Southside Dublin. Please read my posts properly if you're going to be pedantic. Also, it might be worth noting that a D4 accent is actually just a tagline for referring to the generic Dublin Southside accent. Dublin 4 is just the area that concentrates what the accent represents

So just because someone isn't bailing silage and drinkin tae they aren't Irish? I'm not even going to go there with the ignorant and tired Brits remark. You could really do with introducing your thoughts to the 21st century

The prevalence of people pronouncing their 'T's' as 'D's' is quite upsetting..

"I was like working on my compuder and like there was this mosquido like todally annoying me.. I was like, what the ACTUAL fcuk?"


GAAAAH!!!

The funniest thing is non Dubs not knowing anything about the accent, it is certainly not a D4 accent at all.
Its mostly spoken by kids from Cabinteely, Blackrock, Foxrock, Leopardstown, Stillorgan and Dun laoghaire.

I dont know anyone from D4 that has this so called "D4" accent.

humbert

What's worth noting is that most people from those areas have at most a mild "D4" accent.

The people who have a strong "D4" accent have generally made an effort to sound that way so that other people can recognise where they are from.

Therefore I find it quite reasonable to hold the accent against them.

stephendevlin

I find the Ballyshannon accent the "most" annoying.

It's hilarious. I mean people from Dublin can distinguish between accents between all other townlands and parishes in the country, and here the culchies come thinking Foxrock is in D4. Heavens above, whatever will they come up with next?

No, its worth noting they are middle class areas and people living there are likely to have well spoken Dublin accents.

So is being well spoken now classed as having a D4 accent?

David Norris, now thats an annoying twang.

Apparently -because if you aren't 'aytin hang sangwiches fer d'tae' then I mean, who do you think you are?

According to one poster here, speaking correctly makes you a social climber! So sick of the narrow-minded attitude in this country

The same as everyone else in south dublin. I'll never understand how a language has managed to localise itself within 4 square miles. It's the most put on, forced and fake accent ever developed (along with the sligo town accent which didn't even exist 20 years ago).

drdeadlift

Hollister cali/abercrombie cloths are worn by d4 accent folk.That must be another wana be an American trait..

So someone from Ballybrack is going to speak with the same accent as someone from Dalkey?

Loike will you cop on. Daddy is totally Irish loike, they made him commodore of the yacht club for focks sake. Go back to your bogger houses in Newbridge and eat some silage or something.
Can't believe those brit remarks, granddaddy didn't die fighting in Flanders for these focking idiots to call me a west brit loike.

Why the hell not. Someone in one end of Longford will speak the same as someone in the other end, same in Mayo, Wexford etc etc.
Is foxrock an archipelago of some sorts.
How ignorant of me to think that people 20 miles apart would have the same accent.

What are you talking about, people are a product of their environment. Someone from a working class background is unlikely to speak with the same accent as someone from a middle class background. South Dublin comprises of many different areas, you seem to think they are all the same, you cant just throw a blanket over the whole of south Dublin and say "they should all speak the same"
You are making that view out to be ignorant?

You do know that's complete shíte, right? People within counties are capable of having different accents and frequently do, accents aren't confined by administrative boundaries. Within cities, you get very different accents separated by very little distance. That applies to every city. Your contention that accents from areas you imagine to be similar and close to each other should be the same is nonsense.
