I stopped in New Hampshire to get gas in a rural area and asked for directions once.

I actually had to ask them to repeat themselves and had to decipher what they were saying. Talk about a thick brogueish accent

I knew this one girl who was brilliant and graduated from Harvard but she had a really thick Boston accent.

It made her sound ignorant even though she wasn't.

Whenever I hear a chick with a New England accent it turns me off, even if she's hot.

No offense to the Vietnamese ATOTers here but Vietnamese accents are pretty annoying. I can't tell if it's English or Vietnamese that's being spoken.

A "good" Australian accent is great, one of my favorites. But not the overloaded crocodile hunter type, that's just too much. Sounds like when a bad actor is trying to have an American Southern accent: it just sounds exagerated and fake.

At one time i may have said Southern, but i had a gf that was southern, and she could fall back into the accent and exaggerated it, and it was sexy!

I wouldn't mind finding another girl who would call me 'sugar' with a southern accent.

Without a doubt, it would have to be "ebonics." Sure, there are other annoying accents, but none butcher the English language like that.

Yeah it's here but I hardly find it annoying. It's just one of those "heh how can you talk like that and not notice?" accents...

I personally haven't picked up on it myself and I've been here practically all my life. Check that... I do say dawwg.
