Long Island is far worse.

I actually think girls with the Boston accent like my friend who lives in the same town as me is quite hot, but don't let me get caught saying that. She's also dumb as a brick.

The only thing more annoying then the Boston accent is their dominant (lately) sports teams. I've always hated the Patriots, the fact that they went undefeated after cheating made it worse. The Sox beating my Rockies so easily doesn't help, and who gives a **** about the Celtics. Randy Moss being such an a##hole during his speech without crediting Jerry Rice at all shows what kind of player he is, even if he didn't mouth off as much this year - until now. Jerry Rice said it best himself.

Southern drawl is pretty bad
Southern NY/NJ is most annoying to me "Cwoffee = coffee = wtf!?"

This thread makes me sad.

I'm from Texas and live in Texas and have been told that my accent is nice and not as "twangy" as many here. I've never had anybody that I've talked to here on AT tell me my voice or accent sucked. Or perhaps they just talked about me behind my back.

Read my replies and forget about the nutters.

British accents are the worst. I remember that movie The Descent. I personally wanted to shoot all the actors. Their accents annoyed the hell out of me.

WTF are you talking about?

50% of them are hands down fucking hidious and 90% of them have bad teeth

Very true, it's like Americans, either fatter than hell or anorectic, paranoid and scared buying duct tape and all the women are filthy whores or vaginally constipated slaves for their Christian husbands.

I don't know if i can fit more into there, let me think about it and get back to you.

i agree with you

The sexiest accent I heard was a woman who spoke her native Slavic language (Croatian) and she was instructed in the King's English. She sounded like a Bond girl when she spoke English. She was also very pretty, a good kisser and could field strip an AK-47 in under a minute. Hotness.

This is not the thread for this discussion, there is much to be said about police states and i'm not talking about UK, but i will tell you this.

Rule Brittania is a song to express pride, i'm proud to be a service member of her majesty's troops and proud to have my names among men who came before me, if you got a problem with that then you can shove it up your arse son.

Well i disagree with my statement and i disagree with yours too, Englishmen don't really have more dental problems than any other nation, there are exceptional nations like Norway and Iceland but after them, pretty much all the rest of the first world countries are about equal, Americans aren't really fatter or more paranoid than us Brits or anyone else (the Italians and French are some slender bitches though), it's just stupid generalisations that don't work in real life.

But of course, you know that and preaching to the choir doesn't really do much, does it?

Someday, my good man, you'll have to teach me how this sarcasm thing works because i'm clueless.

I did get it though, this time, that is why i put that last line in there.

Seriously, I just cringe everytime I hear it. I wonder if people from Boston realize how stupid they sound.

i find it kind of humorous.

the midwest/Chicago accent is truly grating, however.

I actually couldn't watch the movie Fargo because that accent is so f***ing awful. I walked out. Fortunately, I was watching it at a friend's house, so I was only out my ~15 mins of time.

North Dakota /= Minnesota. while similar, there are certain differences among those accents.

You guy ah re-tah-ded.

Ever hear the way a person from Boston says "room?" It is like they are saying "rum."

I have to concur on the Minnesota accent. Its right up their with the Boston accent.

I'm from Wisconsin and live in Minnesota now and other than when I go further up north I don't hear it. I've been told once by a person from the south that I had an accent but I think he was full of it.

What would you all say is the best accent? I think for men it's Australian, and for women it's British.

For women and for men it's English.

There is no British accent, that is English, that is how it's spoken. You don't speak English just like your football players don't play football, you speak American English and your football players (dressed up like prom queens with extra pudding on their shoulders for the rugby match) play American football.

Australian is fun for half a movie before you just want the chump to ah heck off and start speaking like he usually does, pretty much all aussie speakers in the movies don't speak that way otherwise, they do that for the Americans amusement.

Some English accents are okay... RP is sort of grating. There's a more generic London accent that is pretty nice sounding, but Cockney is 'orrible... I personally like Scottish accents quite a bit. Don't care too much for Irish, but I can deal with it. Australian accents are sort of tedious after a while, and New Zealander accents doubly so. Of course, the greatest accent of English in the known world is Standard American...

This is obviously individual preference but i'm actually the complete opposite of you in this.

The greatest accent of English is English, Standard American is known as American English to the entire world outside of the US, that includes your horrible accents and your stupid misspellings that includes z's in pretty much all wordz.

sour grapes over your King's English losing out to the ever-growing American standard? The OED has already allowed a few Americans on the board. The assimilation will soon be complete. Your proud old world is dying; best to suck it up and soldier on like a true Brit, I say

Most people from Boston don't speak with the heavy accent. Like I said before, if you plotted where people with accents grew up, you'd find some come from one part of Boston and then the rest come from north and south of the city.

My favorite Bostonized words:
drawer = draw
idea = idear
