What accent would you prefer to have?

[Rain Man]

A lot of us probably have flat midwestern voices with no discernible accent to most of America. But that is an acc(id)ent of birth, and merely a function of where, and to whom, we were born.

Assume for a moment that you were born and raised somewhere else, but then eventually morphed to live your exact same life to date, including your current living location, job, beliefs and philosophies, spouse, appearance (with or without hat), dog, car (paid off or not), and opinion about Matt Cassel. The only thing that is different is that you have an accent. What accent would you prefer to have?

The accompanying poll will include a list of commonly recognized accents.

[DMAC]

not mexican

[Predarat]

I would go with Australian.

[DMAC]

South African----Zef Style

[RedNFeisty]

I went with French.

[Rain Man]

I went with French.


The funny thing is, when I saw someone pick French I thought we had to have had a female voter arriving. French is a great accent for women, but it's a horrible accent for men.

[Pestilence]

It's a toss-up between Scottish and Irish.

[pr_capone]

Cockney all the way guv'nah.

[jd1020]

Italian.

[JD10367]

I chose Australian. Not a heavy "Crocodile Dundee" one, just a light Aussie/Kiwi twang. I think American women would find it sexy. And I certainly find it sexy on women. Try listening to Olivia Newton-John or Lucy Lawless talk without getting a raging boner. (Same goes for women with English accents. I once worked with an Indian dot-not-feather girl who was from England. She was tiny, thin, and brown, and smokin' hot. And when she opened her mouth to speak and that English accent came out, I swear men stopped in their tracks.)

I find the Southern and Boston accents to sound incredibly stupid. Yes, I'm from Boston. No, I don't talk like that, thank God.

[BucEyedPea]

Mid Western which is not in the list of choices.

With the exception of the word "crick" for "creek" and "ruff" for "roof."


Edit: I missed the Aussie one. I'll take that one instead.

[Shag]

Irish, for sure...

[BucEyedPea]

I voted none, but now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind a boston accent.

I already have that so I couldn't pick it. :spock:

[Rain Man]

My first thought was Australian, but those accents are strong enough that I think you risk misunderstandings on occasion, or people staring at you blankly and saying "yes" when you ask them where the nearest emergency room is.

English was my second thought (not cockney), because it carries a civilized bearing, but British accents aren't that unusual and are easy to fake.

After serious thought, I went with Scottish. It's unusual, it's got a positive connotation to it, and I think most people can easily understand it.

[Lzen]

Who says ruff for roof? I have never heard anyone speak that way. Now I do know some that say warsh instead of wash. That drives me insane. :banghead:

[Lzen]

What is cockney?

I think I would go with a British or Irish accent. By British, I mean like Sean Connery. :thumb: They always sound so elegant. I like to hear Brits speak.

[Over-Head]

I likes me Newfie brouge thanks :thumb:

And yes, we have a dilect, and *language* all our own, essentially English if ya listen hard enough

[loochy]

What is cockney?

Ozzy Ozbourne

Think super annoying, nasally English that is difficult to understand

[ElGringo]

Since you had us take into account our current living situation, easy choice of Mexican for a Kansas boy living in Mexico.

[MOhillbilly]

Ozzy Ozbourne

ozzy is brain dead not cockney. think lock stock 2 smokin barrels.

[CrazyHorse]

I have southern US already. Actually its probably midwest/southern. So I picked Austrailian.

[KurtCobain]

Connery is Scotish btw,

and a cockney is someone who was born in or was able to Hear the bell of the london tower (not actually ringing, but close enough if they were)when born, or an "east ender"
Think of the actors in the tv show "Coronation Street"

[CrazyHorse]

Or narra for narrow. Enunciate the nar' like you would car.

[Branden Albert's Huge Balls]

Australian. Drives women wild.

[CrazyHorse]

I think I say warsh alot. My parents did.

I used to but dont anymore. It sounded more like worsh.

[blaise]

I never noticed Midwesterners saying "ruff" and "crick" that much. They do in Western NY. The thing I noticed Midwesterners say is "whenever" instead of "when".
"Whenever I went to the store last night."

[Lonewolf Ed]

Cockney! Now sod off, ya gobshite wanker lot!

[BWillie]

I was torn between Austrailian and Russian. Why has the Southern accent gotten so many votes? I don't see anything wrong w/ it, and I think it's sad the stereotype it has gotten but there is no way in hell I would want to sound like that. Russian just sounds kinda like a bad ass, so I picked that.

Yeah, to be honest I'm a bit surprised at the southern accent votes. I don't see that accent get a lot of positive press.

[KurtCobain]

Yeah, I surveyed around, and apparently I do say worsh instead of wash when I'm not thinking about it. Fuck.

I would love to learn how to speak native American

My roof sounds more like "ruff" than "rooooof".

Kind of like when I say "good". I don't say "gooooood".

how

[BWillie]

It's pop, not soda. Bitch.

[chasedude]

I picked Italian, it has such a sing-songy flow to it.

[Dartgod]

I went with the Bronx, so go fuck yo-self!

Australain. It drives my wife wild. I'm sure I would get laid even more than I do now and after 21 years of marriage we still have an very active sex life. :D

I'm going Scottish.

The wife and I spent our 1st Anniversary in Whistler, BC where we honeymooned - played golf for a week at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club.

First day we were paired with another couple - he was Scottish and she was from the States.

Dude sounded exactly like Sean Connery, and he knew it.

After many Kokanees, I got the guy repeating all the good lines from Celebrity Jeopardy on SNL.

Good shots were routinely greeted with, "Suck it, Trebek" or "Your mother's a whore."

We'll never forget that guy.

[patteeu]

I picked Argentinian. I don't really know what it sounds like, but it's got to be a winner with the ladies, doesn't it?

[Chiefs Rool]

Australian or Scottish and then Irish.

[Chiefs=Good]

So everyones picked up on my accent and are jealous?

[PornChief]

I think I'd prefer australian myself.

oh wait...

look i don't know if it's the accent, or the endless of line bullshit i'm prepared to sell about being a big wave surfing crocodile hunter but i can confirm that picking up chicks in the USA is like fishing w/dynamite. Around these parts i'm not uber special at that so there's evidently something the American ladies like.

[Over-Head]

No Canadian? Aye.

Eh as in "A" :thumb:
Or in newfie it's "waddayahat" or "wushyerhat" depending on what part of the island your from

Austrailian.

Some chose Southern US. If you are male, I'm curious to know why.
