Where ‘Seán’ is pronounced ‘Shon’ and over ‘there’ is pronounced ‘theeeere’

I'm sure people from Killiney or the D4 heads will appreciate people thinking they sound like someone from Coolock.

Ah so its a specific area of Finglas accent , mods should change the thread title.

Different parts of dublin have accents as different as Cork and Tyrone accents.

No, a good example is Joanne Donnelly who said she hails from that area.

Listen to her weather reports, dude.

Listen carefully.

Not sure if you've ever spoken to someone from those areas, but the accent isn't quite the same.

I think the dub area is just getting diluted by people whose parents are not from Dublin.

By Shon, do you mean the anglicised version of Sean, which is Shaun?

I just find it hilarious that anyone would think there is a generic Dublin accent !! It varies hugely from one spot to another !

There are people from "down the country" that think the "Dublin accent" is the northside accent and the South side accent is posh

Take the word ‘murder’ most people outside Dublin pronounce it as ‘murder’

How Joseph Duffy pronounce it.... ‘moooorder’ or the ‘noooorses’ vs the ‘nurses’

Let’s start there... do you get that .

The vowel is shortened by the culchie and elongated by the Doob

Are you with me shaft.

''Doob'' would rhyme with tube. You're not really accurate at all with your descriptions.

It’s the same as ‘ chimney’ the Doob has a problem with the ‘n’ so it’s ‘chimley’.

Likewise ‘Teneriffe’ Becomes ‘Telleriffe’ .

Same as the ‘r’. The Doob doesn’t go to a ‘carvery’ he goes to a ‘cavery’ he doesn’t drink ‘Carlsberg’ he drinks ‘Calsberg’.

Listen more carefully dude.

Chimley I've heard. Same as hosptable. Literally have never heard the other thing. You've just made that up. Also, 'Doob' would rhyme with 'tube' and, again, nobody says that.

I'm from town, the city to country folk, and my family is from Santry and Coolock.
Literally none of us pronounce words like that, think you may get your hearing checked, pal.

And on my previous point, the difference between the accent of Coolock and Killiney is fairly large.
Again, I'd be getting my hearing checked if you think they're the same.

I already have.

Point 1- Nobody says ''Telllerife''

Point 2- ''Doob'' would rhyme with food. If you're trying to pass off a Dubliner saying ''Dub'', then you're failing.

Point 3-

You mean when you mentioned all dubs, or doobs as you call us, which is what D4 people call Dubarry shoes by the way, pronounce words the same way, indicating that we all have the same accent?

I think people are arguing over semantics at this stage. However I think we can all agree that that particular sort of Dublin accent is a disgusting assault on the ears. And worse it seems to be getting. Far be it from me to be suggest we throw good money after bad, but maybe the Department of Education should start a pilot to see if Speech and Decorum lessons in certain Dublin schools would work.

Having worked a good bit in Galway over recent years I can confirm this phenomenon is not a Dublin thing . Couldn't believe the amount of bland/southside accents floating about .

Countered with literally nobody having ever heard anyone say Tellerife yet you think it's a thing. Countered with ''Doob'' making fuck all sense as nobody says anything remotely like that. You'll find anyone amount of footage of rockets taking off on Youtube, find me any of someone saying Tellerife.

The reason I rip the piss out of you is because I countered your points but you just willfully ignore them. Also, when you put the word ''Dude'' in every post, it's hard not to.

Countered my royal Irish ass.

Just because you never heard something, dude, doesn’t mean nobody else heard it.

Next you will be trying to tell us you never heard of ‘Phibsboro’ being pronounced ‘phizzboro’ or ‘Chapelizod’ pronounced ‘Chapelizard’

Would you go way out of that buddy.
