WATCH: Hilarious Tenerife local's spot on impressions of Dublin slang goes viral

A hilarious Tenerife local has stunned Dublin tourists with his hilarious and spot on impression of the slang of our fair city.

Moroccan Mo, who lives on the Canary Island, entertained the tourists on the Spanish streets with his thick Dublin impression in a hilarious clip uploaded on social media.

The video was uploaded by Anita Smith Donnelly with the caption: "Anyone from Dublin will get this lingo. Meeting all sorts tonight".

The man said: “Well of course we know Dublin Slang, what’s the story man? Are you alright? How’s your ma? Is your da working?

“Another thing is what’s the story me auld fella? What’s the craic ya young one? What’s the craic? The craic is 90.”

He then spoke about Coolock, Ballymun, Blanchardstown and Finglas in a typical Dublin accent.

And Mo, who is "sound as a pound", even admitted that he “sold five bras for a euro”.

And Dubs were amazed by how strong Mo's fake accent was.

The clip taken at Tenerife Las Americas beach resort received hundreds of comments.

One posted under the video: “OMG brilliant he has the lingo love it”.

Another commented: “Brilliant. Defo hanging around with the Dubs too much”.

A third said: “That's some amount of stuff to remember, brilliant”.

Someone else commented: “Gas, only Moroccans would gather Irish slang”.

A final person said: “Funny chap, seems so nice love how he sounds so Irish and common”.
