curly55555 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I don't dislike any accents. My favorite is the Irish accent and the Winston Churchill-like one. So in other words you just like the bog-standard southern accent, along with the queens english. I get a lot of stick because I have a Manchester accent. Anyone whose ever heard Noel Gallagher from Oasis speak will know what I mean, but mines a toned down version of that :anxious: http://custom.leetscape.com/sig/63/70/combat.png[/img]You just won the award for "The Most niave person on the Tip.it Boards!"]*Points towards the monkey sitting on the button and declining every query*Help me No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightshade53 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 There's this one particular brittish accent I just cannot stand. I don't know whereabout it originates from; but I saw this reality documentary show on tv once, about a bunch of chavs who were sent to some learn-to-[bleep]-behave-properly camp, and they all had this accent. Also I believe the "chav" in Little Britain has this accent. I mean, it's supposed to be English, right? Well it sure doesn't sound like it. I don't know if it's me being Swedish or not, but they only seem to pronounce like 20% of the actual words: "wah, dah, bah, tah, mah". That's what it sounds like to me. Anybody know which one I'm talking about? That's the one I'm on about. It's this southern/londonish area. Truly horrible. Of course, it's exaggarated on that show, but not a lot :P I can't think of any other Chavs in Little Britain apart from Vicky Pollard. The idea for the character came from down here in the west country, I believe David Walliams cracked up while overhearing a conversation between a few girls at a train station here in Bristol. Wikipedia backs me up: Vicky was born in 1989 in Bristol, or "Brissle" as it is locally known[2] and most likely lives in a fictional place called Darkley Noone, where most of her sketches are set. And yes, I admit - The Bristolian accent is the worst in the UK. I can't stand American accents however, particually New York and ones from the Deep South.. :-s EDIT: Apparently Scousers have the most easily understandable/calming accent, that's why there are so many call centres based there.

jackalope14 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I went to Jamaica a couple years ago and although I know they speak English I cant understand them at all. They talk so fast and have to be asked to repeat everything. BTW its not just a stereotype that they say "Ya mon" all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopingman Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Nothing wrong with having an accent, its pretty much unavoidable, and varies depending on where you live. What really gets my blood boiling is people faking accents to sound more "diverse" :evil: Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocobodude0 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 New York Accents. I hate when people think all New Jersians pronounce Jersey, Joysee Some people say I saound like a New Yorker. I was born in NYC, but raised in Tucson. Guess it was my parent's fault; They both got New Yorker accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziv Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I have a little bit of a Texas accent, but not so much that it's real noticeable. Well, until I end up saying "y'all" or "fixin' to". I hate the stereotype that everyone who has a "country-ish" accent is stupid or a redneck. Just because we talk more slowly doesn't mean we're all stupid rednecks. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuziAngel Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Accents are fantastic. My favourite are Australian and South African. I melt when I hear someone speaking with either of those two. Sadly, I don't get to hear them that often. *Sigh* The Poison Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragoonson Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Deep southern dialect I hate the worst. Especialy the sterotypical redneck. I cant stand South Americans accents. And the stereotypes of them ive heard are pretty funny, and whats funnier is that some of the stereotypes are true (not all of south America, just some states and people.) Redneck accents. Thank God I live in Arizona, which is just as far away from the southern belt as I can get. _________________ Yall gotten a problem wit one uv my freends then im ganna hafta get my shotgun out and do some damage. GET R DUNN!!!! im really not much of a redneck, its just where i live. i have lived in scotland, south texas, new york, and north carolina, and anytime im talk to someone from those areas i slip into the accent. cant stand french accents But vhy?Iz it not ze bezt aczent? I really hate our stereotype?That because we're in Asia,we're stupid?I heard of this guy on tv named Adolf Hitler.Oh my god,someone should stop him! Come on,we're not even twice as smart as that.At least,I'm not,with 150-ish IQ points... so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder!

KCHughes Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Northeastern American accents bother me the most. I think that they say actual words about 25% of the time they're speaking, and the other 75% is just a bunch of syllables strung together that mean nothing. People tell me I sound angry whenever I talk. I emphasize my L's a little too much and I often pronounce I's like long E's. Girls think it's cute, though. :mrgreen: the russians are the best!
