I thought he was joking. He sounded like he was from the movie Fargo.

"How are you aye?" "I want tou know aboot this aye?"

It wasn't really annoying, just amusing because I'm not used to Canadian accents.

It's not much of an accent anyway. Just a few words different here and there.

The people in the movie Fargo had weird accents...

worst is Boston accent

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

I'm not even sure if that can be considered english any longer. I certainly can't understand it.

Gilbert Godfrey's personal accent is by far the most annoying thing on Earth.

Boston or Southern.

Ever talk to a lawyer from Boston? "I went ta da bah ta get a drink, but an officah stopped me as I was getting into ma cah. So I says ta him "I'm a lawyah!", then a pull out ma bah cahd ta prove it."

Everyone who answered Scottish, Irish, or Russian should be shot. Those accents are either cool (if they're male), or just incredibly HAWT (if they're female). Especially Russian accents. Russian accents are so hot, I'm turned on by even horribly unattractive/disfigured Russian women all the time.

And I want to vote again because I voted Boston before I saw the Black American option.

I don't mind the "ya'll" words.... It's just the whole country twang, laziness in speech, and sheer lack of grammer that annoys me.

That's funny because "grammer" (sic) doesn't bother me nearly as much as spelling.

I voted for Southern, and I have lived in the metro Atlanta area my whole life, and come from a Southern family. I hate Southerners that don't try to 'flatten' their accent even a little. It really does help continue the dumb Southerner stereoype IMHO.

A lot of people assume everyone from the South has a drawl, but I don't. It's flat-Midwestern. I'm sure there are several words in my vocabulary that give me away as being from Georgia, though.

Southern words (quote from Blue Collar Comedy Tour):

Mayonnaise- "Mayonnaise a lot of people here..."

Initiate- "My wife ate two hamburgers, initiate a bag of potato chips"

and my favorite:

Witchadicha- "You didn't bring your truck whichadidya?"

Sounds like when a bad actor is trying to have an American Southern accent: it just sounds exagerated and fake.

Can you say Nicholas Cage in Con Air? That was THE worst Southern accent in movie history.

 

[xcript]

Err, British? That's a bit broad. Perhaps you meant English? But even then..

how is "Black american" an accent...
