      Very annoying. This is the internet for you. No chance of London 14 year olds with a Ballyjamesduff accent no?

      What did he expect? His child living in London to have a thick Westmeath accent?

      I was on the train into Dublin a few months ago and there were two girls in front of me having a discussion and every now and again I could hear

      “Nah blood, for real…”

      “Nah fam”

      Very odd to hear in thick Dublin accents

      I asked my nephew „no cap? yesterday and I watched his soul leave his body.

      Raises child in England:

      Is outraged when she has an English accent

      Journalism, modern journalism people. And these people wonder why they’re a dying medium.

      Incredible that anyone would be concerned about English idioms taking hold in Irish youth, when both English and Irish youth have both been absolutely dominated by American idioms for years now.

      You wot? 🙃

      But seriously how can you tell? Working class slang overlaps so heavily with Irish slang that for years I thought I was using English slang in some cases.  There’s a couple of Irish specific ones(good ol „banjaxed“). But I’m sure I first heard „cop on“ from an English person. 

      I’m on the spectrum and suspect I was very sheltered.

      For those who cannot read the article, this is a good natured article about Irish parents raising kids in the UK.

      It is not about Irish kids in Ireland adopting UK slang and intonation.

      I was more taken a back when I heard a two women in London speaking in RP and one said to the other “OMG would you ever feck off!”

      Language gets around and I think at the moment the gloss is very much gone off all things American, so the drift towards US phrases and accents seems to be declining.

      Bring back bullying with a focus on moron kids using fake moronic accents.

      I’d prefer them to be talking like English people than Americans. I was out with my kids in a playground recently when a girl of about 7 years old joined in. She had a pure American accent, but it turned out she was from Kildare. It’s the strangest thing

      I was surrounded by English people while living in a hostel in Brisbane and one the day I heard the words „that’s bare annoying“ come out of my mouth. Never been so disappointed in myself

      I cannot abide Irish people calling each other „mate“ and if I hear someone say it I instantly assume they’re a cunt.
      It just sounds so slimely and insencere, lad, bai, pal etc are all fine, but absolutely never ever mate. Their overuse of „mate“ is by far one of the worst things about British English, so how in the living breathing fuck it took off in Ireland as well is beyond me.

      Could always pull a Cillian Murphy and move back home to avoid the accent altogether.
