I don't know, not being American and all. I've never heard (or read) it before though.

Depends on where you're from. The accent here varies enormously. I have a middle-class Dublin accent. I've been mistaken for Canadian and English, among others.

I guess the most prominent varient would be Cork (think Roy Keane), where they'd rhyme "boy" with "die". I'd spell it "bye", but they're all illiterate.

Mikhail have you seen the movie (or read) Angela's Ashes?

Oh I wasn't even talking about accents. And you mean that one out of snatch? I though that wasn't a real accent, I've certainly never heard it

Neither. My dad's read the book. He would identify with that era a lot more than me. It's based in Limerick, a little north of Cork.

Brad Pitt's accent? It wasn't bad. Some sort of generic culchie (think Irish redneck) accent, spoken quickly. Different from the Cork one, but recognisably from the same country.

Yes it is. Its one of my favs Its just that when you said they pronounced "boy" as "bye"; it reminded me of the book

I believe there was a sequal, 'Tis. That's probably another fairly Irish expression. (= "It is")

That book wasnt as good as Angelas Ashes

Im glad you've started posting again

Yeah, some of the odder accents have real issues with "th" sounds. I think it's because there aren't any in Irish. You go back about five or six generations and lots of people spoke Irish as their first language. A generation or two again and more people didn't speak English than did.

Don't worry, I'm not going to be offended by any of this. It's innane leprecaun references that are stupid and irritating, not fair observations on the more bizarre twists we've put on words over the years.
