Ah, aural memories.

ANYONE WHO SAT the Leaving Cert likely has lingering memories of being subjected to tricky dialects they couldn’t understand.

You know — the aural comprehensions where you could only understand every eighth word and had to lean forward to confirm whether or not they had said the word “timpiste” or not.

Comedian Bernard Casey has recorded a video that *perfectly* illustrates the differences between the Kerry dialect and the Donegal dialect.

The video has gotten over 20,000 (!) likes since it was posted last night.

Turns out the “Léigh anois go cúramach…” memories never leave you.
