Limerick GAA. Don't be sad. Another 45 won't be so bad. Limited heartbreak

Cian Lynch, Graeme Mulcahy and Shane Dowling.

Confirmation today from a work colleague from neighbouring Athlacca, shocking how little some fellas know about their own area.

You’ve little to be worrying you.

I wouldn’t like to see people misled here mate, some would assume that a fella living a few miles over the road would be able to pronounce the name of an area when he’s jumping in to a conversation for no apparent reason

you aren’t accounting for the diversity of the accents in Limerick mate. All that’s for sure is there’s no one says me anus

There’s only one way to pronounce it mate, that’s how the people from there do, if others read it and mispronounce it then that’s no harm but it’s not correct.

Bollox, bollocks, bollix.

How would you pronounce Aghada?

Refer to my post above

You can be sure whatever the correct answer is he’ll have the right one.

Or rather his tormented work colleague will.

I’m living down here with an age and I still don’t know, so I’d be amazed

Mate, I gave the correct pronunciation last night just as an aside to a humorous attempt at the possible one.
I have no idea why a couple of ye felt the need to contradict me when ye clearly hadn’t a clue, don’t upset yourself over it.

Can you answer the Aghada question?

A-Had-A paced similarly to Drogheda
The H isn’t strong

that’s one of the local one’s alright.

the other one is a faster paced aha-d-a with more emphasis on the d and the a. I think it is a difference between upper Aghada and Lower Aghada. Those in LA tend to be less protestant.

Well, not surprisingly, the needy Cork know it all is correct. Wow, that’s a first on here anyway.

:rollseyes: It’s Ma-nus. Anyone pronouncing it Meeyeah-nus is a candidate for speech and language lessons.

Will it upset you if I don’t chill out petal?

Nothing at all know it all about a holocaust denier who knows better than any of the residents how to pronounce their placename :rofl:

Keep digging and taking the reacharound, you’re fairly rattled that you didn’t even revert to the standard :pint:
