If you could have any accent, what would you choose?

tmp-354536812503300 · January 2010

I get made fun of constantly by my co-workers for saying certain things with a Southern drawl. I love my accent which normally only comes out when I'm mad or with certain words.

If I could have any accent though, I would love a French accent. So pretty and sophisticated sounding.

If you could have any accent what would you choose?

I'd be an Aussie, hands down

Aussie or British.

I think South African accents are beautiful, and I'd love to have one. I think pretty much any accent is attractive though. There's a guy in our office that just looking at I wouldn't find attractive really. When he speaks in his British accent though, I just about melt.

British.....it's incredibly sexy.

I love Indian accents. I also love Irish accents.

I used to want an Australian accent, but then I watched an entire season of The Biggest Loser Australia and lost interest.

Italian, especially if it meant I lived in Italy!!

I loved my Southern accent when I had it. It's been so long now since I've lived there that it's faded, but it comes right back when I talk to my southern friends. Or when I drink, lol.

That's so funny how that works. Mine really comes out when I'm mad or even when someone is on TV with a drawl. What brought this all up was that Geico commercial with the pothole. After seeing that I was talking like a belle and they started joking on me.

Geekchick921 · January 2010

Italian, Irish or British.

Aussie girl hands down! That's the only dialect I actually love!

MrsVictoriaB · January 2010

Australian!

tmp-354536812503300 · January 2010

Seeing all your responses, I knew that's why The Wiggles were Australian! To keep the Mom's entertained and coming back for more. It's not about the kids, it's all about the blue Wiggle with the sexy accent.

lhuttlinger · January 2010

South African or Australian

I wouldn't really care what accent I had, but if DH had a British accent I'd be a happy, happy girl!

I love that commercial - sounds like Britney Spears. "Did Iiiii do that?'

If I had a choice I'd go British.

You would ROCK an Irish accent!

ETA: And then I would have a girl crush on you.

yoko589 · January 2010

Australian, for sure!!

Do people really tell you that you have an accent up there? I don't think I have an accent being from Texas and people in MD told me I did all the time when we lived there!

*NNO* · January 2010

Spanish. When I speak it, I use the accent really well, but I wish I had it all the time.

akiernan · January 2010

Irish or Scottish.

Or even British. And I'm talking Queen's English, here, not Cockney Guttersnipe.

All the time. I don't have a heavy accent by any means but I do tend to draw things out and you can definitely detect a bit of South especially on certain words and definitely when I'm upset and/or talking fast. It gets mentioned a lot.

People in MD don't think they have an accent either but they definitely do.

IckyThump · January 2010

British. I'm obsessed with British accents. DH used to work with a department of his company in the UK, and I used to listen to his conference calls because I just loved to hear them talk.
