do you have an "accent" of any kind?

people have always said I do and make fun of it. lol. but it's only some words. Like "hair, gun, tour" and I'm sure there is more. I have an odd accent I guess. When I worked at a bank I used to say "Thank you, have a nice day!" to every customer. they started asking if I was australian (which I am not). and they said I had a mix between australian and southern accent. lol

Aih - hard to say. Certain words I say with a MN accent. When I went to England, the first word out of my mouth to a stranger came out in an English accent (probably a horrid one) and there are certain words that apparently I will always say like a Chicagoan - Like Chicaago.

i have a baltimore accent. and, if i visit my family down south too much my southern accent comes back too.

I was just watching old home vids w/my family, and in the past, I had the family's Philly accent. It's hard to explain.

I don't think I have much of an accent anymore, though. There are certain words I still say differently from most: frog, family, crayon...but it's minimal. Everyone always says I "speak so properly" so I'll take that as a hint that the Philly is gone.

It depends on who I'm talking to, where I am etc. If I'm in the south I say certain things with a southern accent I picked up while I lived there, if I go to MN/ND I get that accent back when talking to family...Guess that is the problem with having lived in a LOT of the country, LOL

Absolutely not. I am from California. We, like, don't have accents.

The most bizarre thing, though, is that Joanie and Josh have the most slight Canadian accent. I think they get it from watching Little Bear. LOL

Ridiculous southern accent. We were at a restaurant in northern Indy and I tried to order sweet tea. She asked me to repeat myself THREE TIMES before I finally said, "You know... TEA! With SUGAR in it!"

They didn't have it BTW. I forget that it's not commonplace everywhere.

I definitely have a Southern accent ... but the type of Southern accent varies depending on my mood. Normally it's pretty western/Upstate SC. The angrier I get the more the southern WV accent comes out.

Noah has a southern accent! i have NO clue where it came from, but it's certainly adorable.

I was born and raised in Kentucky, so I had a country/southern accent, but I now live in NoVA and have lost a lot of it. DH makes fun of some of my phrasing though - "Let's go up and get you some jammies on" is the most common one he chuckles at.

SapphyrEyes · December 2009

I don't think I normally have one, but ask Proudarmywife or Hippy if they think I have one. Occasionally I do the Philly thing with the word water ("wooder").

This (I lurve you, Glad)

People can tell I'm not from around here.

I say THE freeway (alas, there are no "freeways" in NY), and I stand IN line. ON line is for the computer. I do not have a pocketbook - I have a purse. Sorry.

Southern.

You can hear it in my videos, I posted a link in the other thread

Do I get a prize for playing?

after living in NC for 15 years, I have a slight southern accent, but more of a mountain southern one - very different from the typical southern accent. I do use some funny southern colloquialisms like 'yonder' and 'get you some...' In professional situations, I lose the southern accent most of the time, but it comes out when i'm talking with locals.

When i first came to NC for college, my roomie thought i had a northern accent, but i really think i was pretty accent neutral, having grown up in MD with parents from Cincy and Chicago.

Your accent sounds pretty similar to mine!

pixy_stix · December 2009

You'll have to tell me if I do, cause I don't think I do.

exactly!

MTOW · December 2009

I'd say just a little bit of a Texas/Southern accent. In college, I got laughed at for saying "fixin' to" and for the way I said "iron" (irn -- doesn't everyone say it this way? I still don't understand).
