Velazquez Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 the western new york (the state) accent can be rough at times, but it's usually when people add elements of that awful boston accent. car = cah and it's the nasaliest shit you've ever heard. i had a c++ professor who said logic like lAHHHjik and i couldn't help but laugh every time. this is truth. while he isn't originally from the area, Billy Fucillo has done a great job of hijacking and exemplifying the typical Western New York accent. just wait for it.. and It's YuuuuggaH! really Yoooogge! I love those commercials, they get a lot of airplay in Western MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm surprised to see this kind of consensus. Australian and New Zealander Minnesota/Wisconsin/Michigan Boston New York what about best accents? I vote for genteel Southeastern US, and posh British. Also Irish people can sound nice. Michigan? They don't really have an accent. It's just the typical tv, Midwestern accent...

Guest Iain C Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm sure this isn't the first time this thread has come up. Anyway, I've got nothing against any British regional accents... unlike most in the south I've got nothing against Brummie accents, Scouse accents or any of the other commonly maligned ones. If anything I love hearing a mix of different accent s, British and foreign. It's nice to have variety and it's a really stupid thing to get annoyed by. And Scottish women have the sexiest voices in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehauntingsoul Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Southern U.S. accents are the worst by far. No matter how smart the person is, if they have a slackjawed yokel accent it makes them sound like a total moron. What do some of you brits think of Canadian accents? I've never heard anyone make fun of Canadian accents before (excluding quebecois french). Also, since I grew up here it seems like we are the only country in the world without an accent. I know thats how everyone percieves their native accents, but coupled with the fact that its generally not made fun of on the internet or any other popular media it makes it very difficult for me to imagine Canadian english as anything other than pure, undiluted english (I know this sounds very pretentious, I don't mean it that way) Someone diss the shit out of my accent for me, I really want to understand. The whole idea of accents/languages always blows my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takeshi Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Definitely agree with Vietnamese, also the accent from Louisiana irks me. Recently I've found one of the Kenyan accents very nice, probably has something to do with having a crush on a Kenyan chick I work with. :embrassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essines Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 terrence and phillip are making fun of the newfie accent though, and most canadians don't have a newfie accent no theyre not there are newfie characters who make fun of newfies, terrence amd phillip just mock canadians. i don't think it's so much the way they speak.

thehauntingsoul Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I don't get it though. I realize all of the quirks of other accents and languages but I dont realize the quirks of canadian english. What features does a canadian accent have that you other accented individuals notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
