Why isn't there a "JockSoc" for the orange people- male and female??

Ah now Seb...

I don't have a Tipperary accent. Nor do I have a Dublin accent. Although I have a bit of a twang when I go back to college after spending a weekend or so at home.

Going to Cork affects my accent something rotten. I pick it up like it's going out of fashion.

It's not intentional.

However... there are a hell of a lot of people from Meath, Cavan, Mayo, Leitrim etc who sound like they could've been born beside the lake after a week or two. Didn't you know that looking like a normal, (and possibly) pale human being, spending less than three hours making your hair look like you've been dragged through a bush backwards after having your ponytail attacked by seagulls, and sounding anything less than vacant and quasi-american is an offence on campus? (Ok, so this is based on a select few people that I have had the displeasure of associating with, but it's friggin' true.)

Of course people's accents change.
A mate of mine from Tallaght told me he really had to tone down the accent when he first came to ucd because so many people just couldn't understand when I was saying.

I slip in to different accents myself. Baseline I have an awful american twang thanks to too much televisin as a child, but I get progesivly more 'north dublin' when I drink are get agro.

Now apparently I've a bit of a culchie accent cos of the amount of guys from the country on my course! Course when you spend over 40 hours a week with ppl you are gonna pick up some bits of their accent.

i must admit, i also suffer from the "watching too much american tv" syndrome.

however my accent is a hodgepodge of different ones. i just sound like me. most people, not matter where they're from have SOME kinda difficulty with my accent.

Eh... No mate, that's plainly not it. It's not your accent ppl have trouble with - it's the fact that you constantly mumble your words in a monotone that is difficult to make hide nor hair of. It's disconcerting.

It's twice as bad when ur drunk btw - Then you somehow manage to both shout AND mumble. God knows how you do this, but it's true.
