For the record I only have a slight Baltimore accent.
My father on the other hand…
zink = sink
coberaider = carburetor
extrasize = exercise
bum = bomb
anttracks = anthrax
I’m not as country as this guy, but it’s hard not to talk this way when you live in Western Kentucky. He lives about fifteen minutes from me - I love how people underestimate a person with a southern accent. Keep on thinking we’re stupid because of the way we talk. It makes it easier for us to take you to the cleaners ;D
Almost everyone I know has an accent, except the people who live where I do, (Unless they are originally from somewheres else…)
NORTH EAST ACCENT!this is how we sound before we are drunk!
Don’t have an accent in my area, unless you’re someone that moved from an area that you had one in.
I speak scouse, though not broad.
Well I am not sure what kind of accent I have, most of the people in the Piedmont region of North Carolina speak with a little southern accent here and there, guys like former Gov. Mike Easley and piece of shit John Edwards are EXTREME cases of people who either try too hard to have an accent or try and polish their accent up a bit to sound dignified.
They’a = There
Own = On
Awf = Off
Supuh = Super
Seve’uh= Severe
Septembuh, Octobuh, Novembuh = September, October, November
I don’t speak with much of a recognizable accent, it’s probably a mixture of accents.
You Brits would get a kick out of the High Tiders! Check them out…

Something like this ;D
Good idea for a thread.
I pretty much sound like anyone else from the west coast. I don’t have much (if any) Canadian accent, or so the Americans tell me. I probably sound like someone from Washington, Oregon, or California.
This is funny:
Lets say its pretty unique and takes some getting used too.Seems to vary from area to area.It gets sterotyped though…its as much terminology as it is accent.And at times does fall along racial lines.Been here a while and still stand out in spots.
this is dated quite a bit here…early 80’s and might do modern day a diservice Lol.

Howdy’ ya’ll:cowboy:
This is an interesting thread because if I don’t think about it I just assume that everyone on here sounds like I do.
Hearing Legion on Kid Thunders radio show was fucking weird for a few seconds because he didn’t sound anything like I assumed he would.
;D I have a strange voice. Also I take that Nexium and it really dries the throat and cottonmouth, so I sounded even weirder. My mom didn’t even recognize my voice after I started taking it for a couple of weeks;D
Its called a drawl youall.
I have Elle Macphersons voice.
Wow, I just watched that the whole way through he is great.
Talks like Boxing Gorillas last avatar pic Huckleberry hound.
With the body of John Candy ??
Coming from Glasgow it’s a good idea to learn how to write quickly 'cause no one understands a bloody thing we say !! it’s not so much an accent thing as a completely different dialect so it does sound like another language.
Wullnae = Will not
Didnae = Did not
Gona = Going to
Ser heid = Sore head
Wow, I just watched that the whole way through he is great.

Yea I just watched it all the way through too. I liked that guy a lot.
I don’t have much of an accent. Well, that is a lie as everyone has an accent of some kind, but I don’t really have a distinctive regional accent. I spent too much of my childhood moving region to region to ever get set into talking a set way. I suppose if anything my accent is more RP (recieved pronunciation) than anything else. My parents both have distinctive Sussex accents whilst my sister has a Yorkshire inflection. I don’t have either but sometimes find my accent responding to whoever I am conversing with at the time.
