American accents

[Purple Banana]

What do people from outside the US think of our accents? Weird? Funny? Cute? Annoying?

People always say "I have the correct American accent," and you're always thinking "No, their accent is wrong, mine is normal."

It's pretty funny.

East coast versus west coast accents?

Local accents?

BAWLMER, MERLIND ACCENTS, HON.

[make it legal]

Yeah I think about that too I'm kinda interested.

[dutch.lover]

accents totally depend on the region...

from my limited experience, i have encountered american accents that sound: hickish (stupid), southern (alabama and the carolinas- these are hot imo and very kind sounding), and new york accents are hot too. those are pretty much the only ones i have encountered. then there are a whole group of americans who don't have accents as far as i can tell.

[Purple Banana]

Canadian accents kinda sound like Wisconsin accents. Like a lot.

Bawlmer accents (Baltimore):
Orinch juice (OJ)
Bawlmer (Bmore)
Warshington (Washington DC)
Wooder (water)
Sundee, Mondee, Tuesdee (days of the week)

But those are only used by people who live or have lived for a bit in the city.

[napolitana869]

people from baltimore sound just like that.

[Skink]

Yup Yupers Yep Yeppers it's all the same to me... and on the CB you get "I heard dat"...

[BizzleLuvin]

ive always wanted an accent and i never realized i had one till i spent time in Spain.

[BUZz UK]

Um... everyone has an accent. A lot of strong accents are horrible imo, they often tend to make people sound a bit thick (in british accents anyways).

[Skwirl07]

I'm from New Jersey and get hassled about my "accent" all the time... It's all normal to me.

[Kid Dynamite]

i love some american accents but others get on my nerves a little bit.

I love a really thick southern accent...niice

[Matt the Funk]

I can't even tell what my accent is. I live on the west coast soo whatever the accent over here is.

[Nochowderforyou]

I like the American accents. You have so many differnet kinds, but all from the same country. You can tell a Detroit accent, Jersey, New York, and Southern folks. They all have their own unique sounding way of talking.

I don't find it weird, funny or whatever. I do find it different though and unique. Probably because it's a rare thing here. Not too many US folks are aorund here.

[Blow Haze all dayOK!]

I got a strong NY accent lol..girls from out of state love it

[Goin_easy]

Im from Houston, Texas. I know I have an accent because well one;Im from texas and two; when I visit my cousins in Massachusettes they like to listen to me talk, and all there (girl) friends think its cute or what ever. One thing is though; I know I dont have a think accent like other poeple do from texas. In the major citys in texas people dont have that much of an accent but outside inthe small towns and stuff its crazy. I think with that much of an accent it makes them sound uneducated.
I love listening to accents from diffrent countries. Thats one of the reasons I love to travel so much.

[BoilerUp]

Chicago accent here. It's pretty annoying because when people here me say Chicago they always have to repeat "Chi - CAAA - Goe" because apparently thats the way we say it :wtf:

[Goin_easy]

Da-Bears. Da-Bulls.
RIP Chris Farley.

[halo]

I live in the heart of the country and ive been all over and i really think we dont really have accents in the midwest. I forgot where i read that but i read that people from the midwest are reported as having no accent by everybody. Unless of course its like a hick accent and sounds all nasally and retarded. And then theres the black ghetto accents but those arent as much accents as they are just not saying words correctly.

[kindprincess]

Chicago accent here. It's pretty annoying because when people here me say Chicago they always have to repeat "Chi - CAAA - Goe" because apparently thats the way we say it :wtf:

yeah, and you guys have realy got to learn how to pronounce "dog"

it's not dahg;

it's dog... d a w g ... dog!

and try a hot dog with chili; you'll never do that zucini crap again :D

[Skrappie]

Midwest with a hint of the south means i can blend in a lot of places. Everyone says i talk different but no one ever places it.

People do the same thing for Canadians. They say "aboot" and "eh." :p People mock me all the time, and I'm not a born Canadian. Good times.

[Breukelen advocaat]

There was a large sign in Brooklyn, on the Belt Parkway leading to Queens, that said, â??LEAVING BROOKLYN? FUHGEDDABOUDIT!â?�.

It was stolen recently.

[rebgirl420]

[RyanTheCaveman]

[Purple Banana]

I think NYC accents sound badass. Like they're gonna knife ya right then and there. Of course, that's not true.

My cousin is from the northwest, and she says 'toast' funny, like a Scottish person.

deep south accent, which i think is the biggest turnon for hot blondes EVER.

maine accent, cant really pronounce the sharp a like 'marhmellow' means 'moshmellow'

[Dave Byrd]

I grew up in Houston and favor Southern-sounding accents most of the time. I think that's only because it's what I'm most familiar with, not because the sound itself is more euphonious. The international accents I enjoy hearing the most are Canadian, British, Australian, Spanish, and Indian, and I again think that's because they're the ones I most commonly hear.

[Specialty Cakes]

ive got a northern california accent, which is accentless... but I grew up in Alabama, so I'm defunct, and I've lived in the northeast, so I say stupid northern words. AND OMG thhat antihappiness commercial with the rough drawing of a teen smoking a joint and talking to his dog? OMG that shit is funny! but decieving... :rastasmoke:

Hey I'm from utah also, lived here all my life. Do we have some screwed up accent that I'm not aware of?

[MaryjaneAndHashley]

I dont know much about different american accents, but uhh..I gotta say, I LOVE british accent. Cant help it.

Blame Stewie ;)

I got an quebecois accent in french, lol

France make fun of us, and we make fun of em :P

[Spoken Word]

lol. Florida is like a melting pot of accents.

[Oneironaut]

I just have a regular North American accent. I used to have certain dialectal features to my speech (for example, I grew up merging the phonemes /O/ and /a:/ so I said "cot" and "caught" the same way), but I've spent a lot of time studying languages and dialects and stuff and taught myself to lose a lot of that. Listening to me, you could easily find out I'm from America or Canada, but you wouldn't be able to tell where, except that I'm not from a place where they have heavy dialects like Boston or the Deep South.

[S.P.Q.R.]

I have a subtle southern accent... it's not too noticable, but it's definately there

[TheAtomicPunk]
