"Róisín" is indeed a common name in Ireland, but the accent is Scottish, not Irish.

Sean Connery is Scottish, not Irish

My initial thought was 'erm, you're not Irish... you'd be American, I can tell from your, you know... American accent'.
And then I was all like 'What's an ass beep ?'
Then I forgot about all of that and was carried away on his merry tale of debauchery


Yes, but some of us have Irish ancestors that passed alllllll of their bad habits onto us.

Yes sir, me as well.

The quote was more homage to my introduction to pickeys via, what quickly became, one of my favorite British comedies.

"Now, there is a problem with Pikeys or Gypsies: you can't really understand much of what's being said. It's not Irish, it's not English, it's just . . . well, it's just Pikey." Turkish in Snatch.

I'll have you know that here in Canada we call bacon "bacon" and what you people refer to as "Canadian Bacon" is called "Peameal bacon" or by the more clueless, just "ham bacon".

Bacon for all!

I say unto you: America invented bacon.

Not Canadian bacon, not Irish bacon but the bacon that does not need any qualifier and brings all people together in its deliciousness (well, except for the PETA people, but they don't deserve bacon).

If there is no higher symbol of freedom, equality, hope, and the general goodness of the world, nay, the universe; Bacon should be spelled with a capital B.

You clearly don't understand, and I am sorry for that.

He's not Irish, he's a Scouser. Didn't you recognise that in the verbal wit he used, the kind Liverpudlians so pride themselves on?

How can you mistake this for australian?

Because only Australians, New Zealanders and apparently South Africans can tell their accents apart?


Wooo, OK at the risk of this discussion becoming a tad pedantic, I need to clarify this misunderstanding. I think the reason that the common "white" South African accent (because there is a difference in accents between groups in SA, albeit now slowly disappearing after Apartheid) gets mistaken for Australian is because it is not widely recognised. People hear it, think, "Blimey, what's that...its not any of the British ones, not Irish, not American or Canadian....IT MUST BE AUSTRALIAN!" If you actually listen to the accents there is DEFINITELY a big distinction. American & Canadian is a lot more related to each other, same goes for Aussie and Kiwi.
The South African accent (and by extension, Zimbabwean accent) is fairly unique. It's also known by actors as the hardest accent do to correctly. Leonardo diCaprio did a fairly decent job with his in "Blood Diamond".


>> ^Payback:
Server sounds British-Indian...


The server speaks with a fairly standard black South African accent (again, just explaining that there are accent differences between South Africa's groups...I'm not a racist! )

I believe he said Scotch blood, not Irish.


To be honest, I'll let you go!

Not Irish, not English, just another American actor with a ridiculous comedy accent.
