Australian accents are sexy.

1. really?
I am an Australian (well technically an immigrant) and I find that if I go away for a while, when I get back to Oz, hearing the accent is really grating.

I get told all the time that I don't sound Australian though - I think too many folks think we all sound like the bloody Crocodile Hunter or Crocodile Dundee (why do all our cultural exports have to involve crocodiles!)

4. Stereotypes
Me, as a Frenchman, have to deal with stereotypes also. French
stereotypes are especially rampant among conservatives, it
seems - we are all cowards, ect.

5. Agreed, but I like any accent.
Edited on Thu Feb-03-05 12:47 AM by Hong Kong Cavalier
I think that's one of the reasons I watched "Farscape" so damn much. I could sit and listen to Claudia Black recite the phone book and I wouldn't move a single bit.

Perhaps it's just because I'm so used to hearing words spoken without any inflections (I live in Minnesota, and no matter what the movie "Fargo" says, there are few accents like that where I live.) that when someone speaks and I hear something different, I notice.

(Edited for clarity)

8. It is so true
I've spent a lot of time on paltalk.com talking to Australian women and their accents are so sexy. I love them.
