What is your favourite AND your most hated accent?

[Cornishman]

I like those slow talking country accents from the southwest.
Not Cornish (it's too fast & mumbly).

 

[Ben So Furry]

When I first moved here the accent used to do my head in. Tut this and tut that. Me sen and everyone is a duck for some fucking reason. Nothing gets pluralised either. 'It's 2 mile up t'road'.

I've grown fond of it now though and it's slowly become part of my vocab. Me duck.

I love the different Scottish accents I've heard for different reasons but I really don't like the Norfolk country bumpkin accent, gets on my moobs.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

the bolton accent is fuckin awful - sorry boltinians

i like most other accents though

many regional accents are very sexy.

yeah they call pcs "pooters" instead of computers too. For some reason i find that sounds fucking annoying and childish to me. its not a fuckin pooter you daft twat its a pc or a compter.

 

[knock]

It seems to me that computers get called pooters in the States too. At least my sister calls them that, and she's a yank.

Most Hated .....


Christian Bales "Californian"



&

Christian Bales "Bournemouth"

 

[The Liberal Media]

And to top it off he comes out with a hybrid here

 

[mydrugbuddy]

is it christian bale you hate or the accents i presume he's using ? (sorry ive not listened to the clips)

 

[The Liberal Media]

Well I do think he is an odious nonce.
What seems strange is how his accent seems to change

If your actually acting in a movie yeah that's fine , your in accent and in Role
But turning up at premieres speaking either or just smacks of "look at me I can do any accent"

The hilarious thing is the last clip is probably his true accent and although possibly his real one sounds as fake as the first two put together

If you have an accent thats fine, but dont be all " ohh im currently researching/filming for a movie now so I wont sound american/british anymore" just for the sake of it

 

[Le'Mix]

Favourite Edinburgh, least fav Scouse.

 

[brimz]

Haha, duck always gets me when I go to Sheffield. Entire family say it.

I like the Yorkshire accent, obviously. One girlfriend stopped talking to me because I use 'us' instead of 'me' a lot. She's from Milton Keynes so she can shut the fuck up. But yeah I lived in a house with two lads from Yorkshire and the rest were from down south. They genuinely couldn't understand us at times and the autistic guy got genuinely angry when people said 't'internet'.

I was mortified when I met a friend from York for the first time in a few years and she said I had hints of a Brummie accent. Mrs Snolly is Brum but its not that noticeable, so fuck knows how that happened. Bit of the 'Ull accent is sneaking in too, but that's more understandable cos I've lived there nearly three years now.

I kinda like the Geordie accent, was with a girl from up there for a while and found it sexy as hell, but possibly that's cos she was.

 

[parttime crackhead]

I didn't think anyone was from Milton Keynes. I thought it was just a place you moved to when you got some mid-level office job. Shite place.

Where are the band The Cribs from? I might have already said this in this thread but the lead singer (Ryan Jarvis?) has the creepiest accent ever.

 

[One Thousand Words]

Those fucking click click African dialects. Why don't those cunts use the front of their tongue?

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Kiwi accent is pretty fucking whiney isn't it.

Aye me too, I was there with work not so long ago and it was just like...dead.

Wiki tells me The Cribs are from Wakefield, his accent don't sound it though, he sounds weird. And has a fucking awful haircut. I just watched an interview with him and he sat there looking absolutely gormless while Jonny Marr banged on about stuff.

Dunno that would depend who's mouth it was coming from .

 

[Limpet_Chicken]

Heh...learning any of those koikhoi dialects has to be a proper wanker for outsiders.


't'internet' sounds proper faggoty to me, always has. Angry? no...just makes me think 'how poncy sounding'

Least favourite accent(s), scouser, paki, chav, redneck hillbilly hick yank.

Favourite-polish and russian are hot, from the ladies...some london accents, favourite all over though ..not sure if its typical or not of montana acct.s but my stalker's accent just turns my insides to jelly without fail, sexy as fuck.


My accent(s) are an odd bunch. I went to boarding school down south, andover area, live in manchester, but throw in stereotypically autie nonstandard prosody and inflection, as well as always forgetting I am talking to someone non-techhead in inclination and end up having to translate loads of stuff to more usual english, have a fairly extensive nonstandard repertoire of curse and abuse terms, including bits of russian, german, latin and a load of ancient greek references. And apparently I slur when I speak in ASL, with a strong accent

 

[jancrow]

My least favourite accent is tedious racist epithet accent.
