The Real Buffalo Joe Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 What are your favorite and least favorite accents? My favorites are a slight southern drawl, or an australian accent. Least favorites are Bahston/New England and NYC/New Joisy.
DC Tom Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Good God, you need to get out of the house more.
Wacka Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 We have a Buffalo accent. After living in CA for over a decade, I watched a Cops episode with Buffalo. Everyone, including the black coos sounded Polish!
BringBackFergy Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Worst: Washington DC accents. Especially from history buffs with degrees in astro-physics. Best: McKelvin Island
Chef Jim Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Worst is the WNY accent. I've been in CA for almost 35 years so it's pretty much gone but 15 years or more ago I was in a cab chatting with the cabbie. I looks at me through the rearview mirror and asks how long I've been here from Buffalo? WTF??
BarleyNY Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Absolutely hate the Yinzer accent from Pittsburgh/Western PA. "Yinz gahn dahntahn ta Danzi's?" Aaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhh!!! It's just brutal. The Jersey accent sucks, too.
Beef Jerky Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 If she's hot, I like her accent. If She's not, I don't like it and think it's annoying.
BarleyNY Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 This lady does a great job with all of the U.K. accents: Sorry, I can't imbed the video.
Bad Things Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 we're always amazed on how often people will tell us how much they love our American accents down here. (however a lot of people think I'm a Canadian.) That being said, I love the Kiwi accent, but have always had a thing for ladies with a Scottish (or sometimes Irish) accent. Just love it. My favourite though, would be a beautiful native Tahitian with that French accent of theirs.
KD in CA Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 If she's hot, I like her accent. If She's not, I don't like it and think it's annoying. /thread

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 Good God, you need to get out of the house more. Nah, just need a job with less down time.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) What are your favorite and least favorite accents? My favorites are a slight southern drawl, or an australian accent. Least favorites are Bahston/New England and NYC/New Joisy. Actually within the US I 100% agree. Outside the country I do like Irish Scottish and Australian accents. Still despise all linguistic things bahston/NYC/ longgg island and new joizey. Ugh the most obnoxious. So pretty much If I ever relocate from wny I need to move south and/or west.

K-9 Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 I'd have to say my favorite accents are a set of colorful throw pillows and tasteful window treatments. Although a touch of nutmeg in my Irish mocha mint is a nice touch as well.
