Dublin is a wonderful city with a constant influx of foreign tourists and students. But when it comes to accents and dialect, the Liffey splits Dublin right down the middle into two very different forms of language. It's important for them to understand what the people of this vibrant city are saying. Luckily, a few players on the Dublin GAA squad are here to help.
Northsiders Johnny and Niall Cooper went up against Southsiders Michael Darragh Macauley and Darragh Nelson to teach their students how to speak 'Dublinese'. The students then pick which side they prefer. Dublin have been united in dominating the Leinster Championship as a team in recent years, but today it's the age old battle of North vs South.
It all starts out easy enough for the eager students when the Coopers run through some 'proper North Dublin English' greetings. "Alri bud" with the response, "I'm bleedin' grand." If you close your eyes you could be on Moore Street.
Next up, Southsiders Macauley and Nelson explain how to greet someone on the Southside. Apparently you need to lean back, look down your nose and say "Alrosh bosh." Sure it all seems so simple when it's properly explained to you.
Hopefully by the end these bright-eyed students will be able to tell their the difference between a "Gerr up owada" on the Northside and a "Totes morto" on the Southside.
