I think that the right person can make any accent sound sexy or not. Of course, the immediate thought is French, but almost any European inflection tends to be ear candy.

I know there's not really a generic accent but I didn't really know how to explain in an other way. I'm also not sure which of the Irish local accents I mean so I used "generic" to say any/all of them unless I don't like it but never heard it before...RAKtheUndead said:No such thing as a generic Irish accent. Despite a population of only four million or so, we have a massive range of accents between the different parts of the country. A Dublin accent is considerably different to a Cork accent, similar to a London accent (if you can even pin down one London accent as being representative of the city as a whole) is different to a Mancunian accent.Eleuthera said:Irish, I'm not quite versed enough in the local differences though, so just generic Irish (on females at least...)
As for the accents I find sexiest, the female Received Pronunciation along with English accented with a slight French accent (again, female) take my recommendations.
Heh, the Derry accent is an acquired taste certainly.CynderBloc said:I seem to have caused quite a stir with that post, more than a few people have commented on it.....Boba Frag said:Hahaha!!CynderBloc said:You probably mean a Dublin area accent, it's quite pleasant.

And guess who should happen upon this post but someone from Cork....
Shame my friend from Derry is away so he can't help me formulate the rest of the post.
I have to say the Dublin accent can be quite pleasant once it's not as in your face as a North side accent, or as pathetically effete like the general D4 accent.
As for the Cork accent, it has its rough edges, but it's also unique sounding in comparison to the rest of the island.
Comes from being a city exposed to many different cultures through trade over the centuries.
Also far, far less Anglicised than the posher Dublin variants, although I am noticing a horrendous surge in a D4 style accent growing from the city's south side lately.
Let me clear it up, I'm from Belfast and I hate my accent but it's funny you should mention you have a friend from Derry, it's another accent that kills me (when it's strong).
I don't really know why I don't like the Cork accent, in a way it's similar to Ballynahinch and it doesn't bother me at all.
You do have to admit though, when you get Americans going on about the Irish accent, they're talking about the gentle Dublin accent that they hear on the TV. My friend from Belfast went over there to College and for the first month they thought he was Scottish......
