Agist as well. I may be fifty eight years of age but that doesn’t give you licence to mock my age.

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.

No such place called Phibsboro.

In what way, pal?

I have never in my life heard a Dub rhyme Spurs or Dub with boot or tool etc.

Wouldn't be the greatest fan of some Dublin accents but the same can be said of extreme accents in numerous parts of our country.

Countered, yes. Nobody else seems to have heard it. Surely stands to reason that if I'm from and work in working class Dublin then I'll most likely have heard it.

No not at all because I've heard both of those things and they're part of the vernacular is some instances. Weak debate tactic that. Have heard both of them. Sure Phibsborough has an event called Phizzfest most likely because of this. The Chapelizard thing is very well known. Tellerife? Nah

Apologise for mocking my age earlier. I have worked too hard and raised two children not to have my age made fun of by scuts like you.

Next thing you will be saying you never heard of Dubs flying to ‘Lisburn’ when they were going to ‘Lisbon’ or that they saw ‘David Ferrity’ on the golf channel when it was ‘David Feherty’.

Would you get up the yard, mate.

Working class people from Dublin love caterwauling about how working class they are, like it gives them some sort of credibility for being from the mean streets. Many of them lack the down to earth practicality of their country cousins, though. Blowing their money on brand new cars every year and going on tacky package holidays in Man United jerseys.

Why are you making up these scenarios in your head? It's weird.

This style of ''next thing you're gonna say is...'' is absolutely so wide of the mark it's surreal. I literally just responded to your Phibsborough and Chapelizod examples and you didn't acknowledge that but keep on going with these other things you're thinking up for some reason. I'm countering examples you've given already. Not anything else.

Know the sort. Love telling you how they grew up on Sherrif Street or in the Ballymun Flats, but did ok, didn’t become a junkie, got a job etc. Or that they were the first from their area to go to university. Real mawkish stuff. Like they want a medal or something as they had it tougher than anyone ever before in the history of humanity.

Well... be better if they fronted up and debated properly instead of insulting genuine folk like yourself.

They seem to have a reality problem as you rightly point out.

You cry about ageism and stereotyping but have no bother tarring a whole bracket of people yourself. Hypocritical.

FWIW, I drive a 2005 Focus, went to Iceland last month and think Irish people fawning over United and Liverpool is ridiculous.

They are utterly classless. Personal insults and attempts to rile people up rather than engaging in discussion.

The pair of you must lack comprehension skills or else are just ripping the piss

. Every point made by both of you has been countered. Hogan, you write off swathes of people but complain that someone called you ''Grandad'' in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. Here's a little thing you should know; not everybody knows how old you are and the instance in which that was said was irrelevant to it anyway. Very precious looking for an apology.

You’re dead right. I will go for a run, be the bigger man instead of rising to childish personal insults.

Note for people from Dublin: tracksuits are used for exercise outside of the capital, as opposed to formal wear.

Excuse me but I was only speaking generally, making my observations about people from Dublin known. I have never resorted to the kind of personal attacks people have made against me in this thread.

What's with all this talk about the Dublin population been celebrity obsessed and uncultured riff raff?

You'd swear that the average rural farmer was listening to Wagner and debating Existentialism after a day plowing the fields.

Would that be like Wellington Boots ? They're used for work-wear as well as formal wear outside Dublin.

The South Dublin accent isn’t so bad. It definitely sounds more refined and classy than the northern equivalent. Reaping the benefits of placing an emphasis on education.

If you knew your capital you'd know the South/North divide is no longer relevant. The big socio-economic divide is East/West now as coastal property prices have risen.

The various Dublin accent's aren't dying. Some of the "posh" Bob Geldof ones aren't new either, they've been around as long as the inner city accent.

The "mid-Altantic" accent is found all over the country along with the UK terms like nonce, prat and numpty you see so often on this site typed out by Irish people.

A lot of it's from Fair City, bar-stool talk and the odd trip to Croker. Some of my rural inlaws at my wedding were surprised that none of my family had distinct inner city accents! The ones that didn't travel around Ireland much assumed we'd be "their" preconceived typical idea of a Dublin person.
