James.UWE 0 #76 June 11, 2009 Girls with Eastern European accents sound dirty. Dirty is good. When I've been in Perris before, I always have the people working on the tills in Walmart, Walgreaves etc comment on my accent. Two years running I've had yank girls going weak at the knees when asking them where beer is. Apperently I sound like Prince Harry. But then again, most Brits probably do to you lot!

rlucus 0 #77 June 11, 2009 I've always enjoyed Scottish and Irish accents... (and I know they are nothing alike) Absolutely hate all forms of southern... and never been fond of the Jersey/City accent Funniest accent I ever heard was a Romanian gentleman that had married a Wisconsin woman and lived there for a few years before I met him in Iraq...

Erroll 80 #78 June 11, 2009 Quote "Always resort to your native tongue in times of anger." I am an english speaker but oddly enough I revert to Afrikaans most of the time. It is just sooo much better for that sort of thing Too true. One just cannot convey "Jou fokken bliksem! Ek is nou gatvol vir jou blerrie stront." in English!

MikeJD 0 #83 June 11, 2009 Quote IMHO, "British" & Australian are more alike than Irish & Scottish, but you Brits would probably disagree (& I wouldn't blame you). In England alone accents are incredibly varied, considering it's such a small place. I can think of at least 10 completely distinct accents/ dialects from different regions, and obviously there are a lot more subtle variations that I can't distinguish so easily.

MikeJD 0 #85 June 11, 2009 Quote I think you can say that about most countries, large and small. I guess. We just can't hear the variations in foreign accents so eaily. I've just realised nobody's mentioned French. I think that could be my favourite - French men sound pretty cool, especially if they have that kind of laconic style. And French women...

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #88 June 12, 2009 Quote Oddly enough, Jersey Girl's. I had a pretty thick "Boston" accent long ago but lost it to the generic military (lack of) accent. Jersey Girls just remind me of home Oooo... and Austrailian accents are cool too. So, where was "home"? McGuire or Fort Dix or somewhere else around here?Always be kinder than you feel.

Scratch 0 #91 June 12, 2009 "Jou fokken bliksem! Ek is nou gatvol vir jou blerrie stront." Translated You fucking (person who is too cleaver/cheaky for their own good). I am now full to my asshole with your bloody shit" Yup Afrikaans is better. That gutteral accent makes the threat of imminant violence also seem so much more real.

SARLDO 0 #92 June 12, 2009 Quote So, where was "home"? McGuire or Fort Dix or somewhere else around here? I grew up in Fall River, MA (only famous for Lizzy Bordon). Although very distinct accents, the New England and Jersey ones are very close. I also spent some time on Jersey boardwalks as a kid so thats probably where the association to home comes from.

Yeah, combine that with a huskiness a la Cerys Matthews and I see where you're coming from. Mmm, Cerys Matthews...I'm Liverpool born, but never had a really strong accent (my girlfriend used to call me Posh Scouse, which I thought was genius). And having lived in London so long it's been softened further, I guess. But it's funny how a muted accent confuses people because they still hear some of the influences. So I've been mistaken for Irish and even Scottish before now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
