I use y'all to precede motherfuckers a lot.
For some reason (quite probably as I'd just smoked a joint) I became quite self-conscious that I sounded like Hugh Grant or that English guy who was in 24 when we were playing LBP the other day. I like to think I just have a non-region-specific English accent.
I tend to find that people with really strong regional accents are invariably stupid. For example, in all the times I was in hospital in London, I never encountered one neuro-surgeon, or medical professional of any sort with a cockney accent. It would've scared me if I did.
y'all is such an integral part of the vocabulary around these parts, I say the word but with no accent because I don't have an accent, if that's possible
but as far as accents go, bear grylls has the coolest accent going
dan says i do, but i think hes wrong. mostly with words like jog and clog he says them more like jaw and claw and im like jah and clah. im not sure if that makes sense but there it is
my old roommate was from chicago and he'd be like hey grab me a pahp.. used to irritate the shit outta me.. uhm coke, pepsi, 7-up, rootbeer what.. eventually i would just grab something at random and watch him look confused
I wonder if I'll ever go to America in my life. As I've seen so much of it throughout my life in beloved movies and TV shows, I kind of think it'd be like meeting one of your, for want of a better word, heroes (all of mine are dead - it's the best way to avoid disappointment) and inevitably finding out that they suck. Then again, England sucks, but it's a kind of suckage I'm very used to. At least I still don't live in Ireland.
