Also people make fun of posh Dublin accents so all the time time don't they?

I don a more conspicuously Irish accent sometimes for rhetorical purposes. Can imagine some tight arses having issue with that, but fuck em.

Yeah, I call that my "firegazer mode". Seems slagging off D4 accents is an acceptable form of 'punching upwards',unlike this mag's example.

The only accent you'll have practical troubles within Ireland is the traveller one. People do not joke about it though.

Maybe as opposed to Irish-sounding student. Most people I know've left Ireland and so haven't doubled down in the way you have accent-wise.
