By popular demand--sexiest REGIONAL accent?

[Bicoastal]

Geez, how many different kinds of Southern accents ARE there, anyway? 34?

[LostinVA]

1. You realize there's at least a dozen different NY/NJ accents, right?

[Deep13]

4. Just like back home in MA.

Worcester sounds more like RI than Boston. The Bershires sound like up-state NY.

[Bicoastal]

6. (Throws up hands in despair)

(Collapses face-first onto keyboard, sobbing audiably.)

[BOSSHOG]

2. Chalmette Louisiana Accent - EEE-YAH!

I'm a berl some crawfish ME!

[SacredCow]

23. yea, DAW-lin....

[BOSSHOG]

24. I went on down to the Audobon Zoo and dey all axed for you!

ROCKY AND CARLOS IS BACK OPEN. Macaroni and Cheese and a Barq's root beer for lunch, it don't get no better then that.

[SacredCow]

26. Da-yum....

I haven't been to "da parish" since Katrina, truth be told... All of my friends left, so really haven't had a reason.

[BOSSHOG]

27. We took the back way

out the quarter last weekend, went down St Claude to whatever it turns into to Paris Road then out to I-10. Its coming along rather nicely except for the Orleans Parrish part.

[Deep13]

3. Where is Jodie Foster from? That one. nt

[Burma Jones]

5. As the Beach Boys sang:

And the southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there

[Jamastiene]

7. I was torn, but ultimately picked New York/New Jersey.

Brooklyn especially, talk about super sexy. Yowza! :loveya: California accents are also sexy as hell to me too.

[DS1]

8. It's a bit US-centric

[ceile]

9. Southern Atlantic

Either of the Carolina's, GA, TN....sigh.
But once you're west of GA kinda goes down hill. Although MS isn't bad.

10. Hey! Did yinz forget Pittsburghese?

[Richardo]

13. Dey're all prejudiced n'at.

[JVS]

[Bunny]

20. HAHA!

:patriot: Kudos to a 'burgh expat!

[ZombieNixon]

11. Answer: Mine

Problem solved. :P

[rockymountaindem]

12. What about the Mountain/West non-accent?

Are we too generic for you, heh?

[philosophie_en_rose]

14. Northern England

[tjwmason]

35. Which one?

Scouse, Mancunian, Yorkshire (several varieties), Lancashire, Geordie, Mackem, Cumbrian...

Just got the join in the fun about hair-splitting over accents.

[philosophie_en_rose]

36. Lancashire

:)

[CottonBear]

15. Southern (Atlantic) 'cause it's the one that I have.

;)

[JVS]

16. MN or Pittsburgh tie for it

[Mythsaje]

18. We NWsters don't HAVE an accent...

Or is lack of an accent an accent in itself?

So unfair.

[Dr. Strange]

19. Locking

No bodily function threads, please.

[mcscajun]

21. Cajun, of course, cher.

;)

[Ava]

22. I'm from Alabama, and really don't find any accent particularly "sexy"

unless it is an aussie or british accent ;) :P

[cobalt1999]

25. I once worked for two months in Nashville.

I'd fall in love with the girl checking me into the hotel, the girl at the coffeeshop, the girls at work...I'm a complete sucker for a female southern accent...putty in their hands.

[yellowdogintexas]

37. that mid-south accent is nice, isn't it? I can pick it out in my

inbound phone calls @ work.

sort of caramely in a way.

but there are some weird pronunciations, like crystual instead of Krystal

LOL

[Hand]

28. New Mexico Hispanic!

Now there's a passionate accent--"Hi, mi jita. What can I get for you?" :loveya:

[Bucky]

29. That accent we all have with a mouth full of tongue.

I call it "Dentist Chair English", (although in the actual DCE accent, it's pronounced "Nenthisf Pshair Ngfifth")

[MrScorpio]

30. I'm officially declaring a vulnerability to white southern women in my youth

What else could I do while living in Texas, Mississippi and Virginia?

[CBHagman]

31. Like you got to ask...

Definitely New York/New Jersey.

[BreweryYardRat]

32. On women, I've been a sucker for a British accent for years. Failing that...probably Cali/NW.

My whole family (minus 2 members) is from the South, so Southern accents are right out for me.

[Catchawave]

33. What does Southern Atlantic sound like....?

I live in SE Va where the natives say "A-boat" instead of About. (only example I can think of)

But I voted New England as sexiest since I married a guy who sounds like a Kennedy :)

[BlackVelvet04]

34. Nice to know there is something about the south

DUers like.
