Althoug I live in Maryland, I am originally from the suburban Philadelphia area. I am constantly told that I have a Philadelphia or Northeast type accent - go figure. Yet when I visit home (Philly area) I am told that I have picked up hints of southern accent, and sayings) Oy Vay !!!!!
I'm from MD, and I don't think I have much of an accent.
I have a Rhode Island accent.hate it ..hate it.. hate it ! LOL
I suspect I do and i don't like it one bit.:P
When I went to college, I picked up a weird one. I was taking fencing and my teacher was Scottish. I was awful at fencing but managed to accidently develop a /Midwestern/Scottish accent.
People would ask me what country I was from(which just puzzled me)
Oh I definitely have an accent. I think more of a Philly accent... but a good friend of mine (she's english living in Canada) says I sound like "Rhoda." LOL!
I say "Yo" for hello all the time... I can't help myself.
Coffee - I pronounce it caw-fee
Water - I say wooder
creek is crick
I could go on....lol. But yeah, I have an accent.
Only thing I, nor anyone else here says is Joisey. The only people who say Joisey AREN'T from Jersey.
Well that accent is neat but showing up for dinner at 11:45 AM was no fun when Dinner out west is 6-10 PM. I'm glad supper is soon be be on FAD.
I have an English regional accent, very different from SMK's. I have an 'ampshire "hog" accent making me sound like a farmer! lol Although I have been told I sound like my parents who have West London accents, whatever that means.
Yes they do...well at least they did when I was working on my degree in Theatre. FORTUNATELY, my speech patterns developed well before my family moved to a lil' redneck town in the FL panhandle. If I am around folks with strong accents (especially Southern) I tend to pick them up. I get this trait from my dad. As a kid I remember so well how he would do that which was funniest when we had guests whose first language was German or French.
I like the other Aussies on this board have an Australian Accent. There are really only 3 types of Aussie accents though - the general accent which most aussies have, the broad accent (ie - crocodile dundee, steve Irwin) who draw out the words and the "educated" accent - ie those people with something stuck up their arse and think they are English.. JERKS.
It is also one of the hardes accents to master - aka Meryl Streep "A dingos took my baby" - absolute DISGRACE
Being born and raised in the south I can only assume my accent is southern. My brother is hearing impaired and growing up we had to make sure we spoke clearly and enunciated all of our words so he could learn the correct way to speak. When I get pissed off the true southern belle shines through. I've worked in call centers and places where I've had to tend phones and I'll usually get the "Are you really from the south?" question. I've also had quite a few people tell me I'd be a great phone sex operator! I take that as a complement because I hate the way I sound...
I have a Southern accent and I use to get made fun of when I was living in Kansas City cause I pronounced things different and called every soft drink a Coke. My entire family is from the South and when we go home to Alabama it gets even worse.
i have a scouse accent......
explained as......UK
Liverpool
beatle country
Liverpool rocks though..........<<<booze hound lol
What I want to know is, why do some Americans say "soda" and others say "pop"?
"Do you have an accent?"
---Yes. I do.
Native Californians have a regional accent that sounds like subdued valley girl talk. I hear it in my neighbors, my in-laws---they draw out the vowels too long with kind of a questioning sounding ending. I of course sound normal and coherent, being from the Seattle area.
My ex was from MASS and i swear we would have knock out drag out fights about him calling soda Tonic...I think his family was the only people that did that..Tonic what the hell is that...
anyway I dont have a accent but i did pick up some southern slang from my time in alabama. I say Fixin to and you'all
i have a philly accent. some of my family live in south philly aka italian central, so they have the heaviest italian-philly accent and i love it. actually, i wish i talked like that sometimes. but i do have a philly accent, like saying 'wooder', 'youse', and 'are-ange' not 'or-ange' (i noticed my cousin from MD says 'or-ange' so i guess its some philly thing?). i also order iced tea, not sweet tea, get black and white milkshakes (Choc & vanilla mixed), say soda, and love water ice and soft philly pretzels. i also get in disputes on how to pronounce sausage, syrup, and water.
And another thing - what the hell is a chocolate soda? Surely you don't have chocolate flavoured soft drink over there?
I have a dear friend who was born and raised in Texas. In her late teens or early twenties, she moved to Australia. Now she has an American southern drawl AND an Aussie accent. It's one of the strangest things I've ever heard!
No accent here...
Yep!
Stay in Drugs. Eat your School. Don't do Vegetables.
Well in California, we don't have accents! The rest of you do though!
I don't have an accent......you do.
I don't have the standard issue Pittsburgh accent. I do say some words differently and I ask for gum bands when I should ask for rubber bands, but that's about it. Now, my grandmother has a Yinzer accent from hell. In her house, we warsh the deeshes, trim the booshes and eat feesh on fridee.
My boyfriend just moved here from England. It's really kind of funny how people will hear him talk then expect me to speak with the same accent. When I don't, it throws them off a bit.
I've been told I have little or no southern accent. But, I have been known to slip and say something like "I'm fixing to go to the store..."
I have a southern accent in Swedish.
Yes I have a Brooklyn accent.
Listen closely.........
"Can I have a Chocolate egg cream."
I'm from Texas ya'll. Also I have a hearing problem so my speech is what kids say "you talk funny" kind of thing.

i do say fixin' to and ya'll and supper
I'm not gay but my boyfriend has an accent.
Born and raised in Tennessee and I've been told I have a southern drawl...dated a New Yorker and he constantly made fun of me..rat bastard!! lol I agree with the others we are always "Fixin" to do something and all carbonated drinks are "coke", all tea is iced and sweet, and if something stands still long enough we will batter it, deep fry it, and smother it in gravy...and yes there is a chocolate soda...I got one at Kroger grocery store and it was butt nasty...chocolate should NOT be carbonated
Only while having sex......and it's german
My main is spanish, so yes, I do have a latino accent.
