Unless people in New Bunswick don't say thei Ah's, they don't talk like we do.
Well, Ive talked to people from Boston and Southern NB (northerners tend to take on the Labrador accent a bit) - but yeah, same sound. :)

Like I said, they even call it a 'Bostonian accent' ;)

I have a friend who wants to go to that school.. me personaly... I'm sick of florida. My folks vacation there every summer. same place... same fishing pier. ugh! I HATE fishing!

That's probably not something you should be letting too many people know.

lol no seriously... if i could move to antartica... i'd seriously contemplate the idea. that's how bad my school is.

To be honest, I like just about any accent, with the exception of the redneck accent, which I have enough of already! :p

Jamaican, Australian, French, Italian... yummy! :fluffle:

BASTIN (Boston) accents are not thus (no "r" voicing, hard vowels) due to italian-american influence... right?

wouldn't it be more due to british influence, as with most of the northeast?

I'm British is our accent hot?..just wanna know i've been told my accent's hot and i'm cute..not that it matters.. :p

I have no idea why. We've also got a sizeable Irish population (think Boston Celtics), too, so I doubt it's any one group.

Move to Boston. It's the best place on Earth.

SOUTH FLORIDA BABY!

Vicky Roberts, shes got the best accent in the world.

I'd love to go to Boston sometime

I'd love to go to Dublin sometime. I've talked to the guys from Revels Glen that play at the local pub here, and they say that Dublin and Boston are like master and apprentice of pub towns. :D

I'll give you Miami because that's where you're from, and it's like 3 degrees right now here, but you can't honestly expect me to agree that New York is better than Boston....

Well, if you dont count the golden paradise known as west coast Canada ;)

Boston... hmmm. Let me *think* about it. I'd actually love to move to Europe. Especially Italy or England.

Well, if you dont count the golden paradise known as west coast Canada ;)


I'll be close to there this summer Lasco and I'm calling you when I get there so I can hear your accent!

I like it some. ;)
Well, i got jumped on by a few college girls because i wore my uniform into college its a Yank uniform but the job i want to do will be allocated to Americans mostly..i go by personalitys not looks..both sometimes ;)

Well, if you dont count the golden paradise known as west coast Canada ;)

That sounds dirty.

I'd have to say that my own accent is the sexiest. Cut-glass London establishment accent.

"Jeeves, put the marmalade away, there's a darling..."

"Tally ho"?..used that in the helos dude..we say it before take off and stuff..i realy it to the JOC bac to me then onwards..."Tally ho"..etc..so, whats the sexiest British accent posh or well, not? :confused:

I'll look for it then, I just don't want people to think I'm conceited (well, actually I think thoughts of that will fade if I can find the pic anyway! haha! My dead sexy half naked sinewy body! hehehe!)

Say now though, what do you think about accents of different places close to Boston? Ive talked to people both from Boston and from Southern New Brunswick - I cant see a difference at all. I can imagine there might be as one gets closer to Northern New Brunswick... but heck, they even call it a 'Bostonian accent' in Southern NB!! Hm, just wondering what the opinions of people over there were. :)
hmmmm. i can tell the little differences from the east coast canucks and bostonians. i can even single out a vermonter, and a person from new hampshire. and also, i dont think that people from edmonton and calgary sound exactly like minnesotans. alike, but different. but thats just me. i notice details.

Southern Irish lasses with emerald green eyes and black hair. Mmmmm.
Second to that, French.

I'm taking a french class... but I think Spanish is easier to learn. But that might because I've had 3 times as much spanish as i have french.

New York - Certain ones. People in Manhattan tend to have the nicest accents... Well, let's just say the least stressed. And that's a good thing.

London - Not sure what area, but the "soft" sounding ones.

Italian - Again, not sure what areas/regions, but to me they all sound very nice.


Now, for the ones I cannot bear.


Texas - Most areas/regions. Horrible accents throughout the state, many being in the "dipshit" level.

Alabama - Like Texas, but higher-pitched and squeaky. Not a nice accent.

Arkansas - Well, not too bad in some parts, but plenty of people sound flat-out strange.

I'll be close to there this summer Lasco and I'm calling you when I get there so I can hear your accent!
Look me up sugar ;)
That sounds dirty
I think I missed something there? Hmm.... dunno - Well, I think its a great place, easily one of the best on earth in my opinion :)

Yeah, Im sure there are subtle differences, I mean, there are differences from one town to the next sometimes. Im sure there are differences between NB and Boston, but they are very slight ones indeed. As far as east coast Canucks and Boston, well, there are so many accents within eastern Canada - NB is by far the closest though.

I can spot most accents right away too, the only difference Ive ever noticed between here and Washington is that the farther south you go, and for sure by the time youre in Oregon, you get that drawn out 'whhat' sound happening (theres a tendancy to really annunciate the 'wh' sound) - otherwise I cant tell the difference between say, people in Seattle and people in Vancouver that easily. :)

Atleast you guys don't have to deal with "Ya'll" and "Nekid" Gosh I hate that second one. It N-A-K-E-D. and then there's the word gunna... what type of language is that?!

DAMNIT, I forgot about Cuntucky!

Yeah, I do have to deal with "y'all" and "nekkid". Like I said, there are plenty of dorks with "dipshit" accents in Texas.

I'm still a staunch believer in the London accent. I mean, it's always used in films and novels as the accent de rigeur of baddies and sexy spies etc etc. I stick to my original thesis, dahleengs!

Cuntucky... lol haven't heard that before.

Cuntucky... lol haven't heard that before.
I got set-upon by a cheerleader from Kentucky..my accent...HELP! ;)

Cuntucky... lol haven't heard that before.
I've never heard Cuntucky before either. Also, in response to the "nekkid" vs. "naked" thing, there is a difference between the two, at least to those of us who actually use the word nekkid. "Naked" means that you are devoid of something, usually clothing. "Nekkid" means you are doing something that you probably shouldn't be doing while at the same time being without clothing, like when one says "He shot across the football field, nekkid."

Also, I have a very pronounced Kentucky/Tennessee accent. Just for your edification.

Oh god...

*bends down, with hands on head*

I'M COMING DOWN!!!

I got set-upon by a cheerleader from Kentucky..my accent...HELP! ;)

lol what? I used to be a cheerleader. but most of the girls on our squad are stupid.

I love Croatian, Russian and German. If their not too heavy I like American Southern, Irish and Spanish. I hate Boston and certain New York accents.

I myself have a slight Texas acent, ya'll. But most people don't notice it unless they talk to me for a while.

I have no idea why. We've also got a sizeable Irish population (think Boston Celtics), too, so I doubt it's any one group.

There are several strains of Boston accent.

The most recognizable ("pahk the cah"), is southie. I don't know if the accent comes from any one group exactly, because there are a buncha buncha Italians and Irish in Boston. However, I'm inclined to go with the Irish, just because the North End accents sound a lot more distinctly Italian.

But then there's the "Boston Brahmin" accent, which is like the over-correct Kennedy-speak. That one I think is a hold-over from colonial days when folks tried to show sophistication over provincialism by trying to talk like Brits instead of letting language slide.

To get back on topic, neither of these are particularly sexy accents. Nothing quite like a really hot chick asking, "What ah you, fukkin' retahded?"

british accents are hot! french might be if the guy had a deep voice otherwise I would take him for gay. newyorker accents are hot also. Oh and new zeland.

I think the Kennedy type accent can be ok, I like the accents and find them interesting, perhaps not 'sexy' though. I tend to go for more 'exotic' sounding and 'elegant' accents (I really go for eloquence in speaking though over anything else, and if I can learn to talk with the eloquence of Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery or Goran Visnjic I think I'll have it made, regardless of my accent)

On another note, I really thought youd be the one to mention one accent in particular ;) (and for what its worth, Polish is a very sexy accent to have!)

The Kennedy-speak really isn't that prevalent at all. It's the accent of the overly wealthy Bostonians who once spoke with the regular accent, but tried and failed to speak "properly." They're the kind of people you see with multi-million dollar homes on the Cape or Martha's Vineyard. Certainly not normal Bostonians.

What happened to all the brits? Anyway, i thought i'd let you all figure my accent for yourselves, so here ya go:

www.geocities.com/areathirtyseven/myaccent.wav

And for the record i think most accents can be made hot, but my favourites in no particular order are:

-Posh english accent
-Southern belle
-Latina girls (think selma hayek)
-Bristol area (non-wurzels though)

Yummy. Especially Goran Visnjic.

Spanish/Japanese/Greek

He does have a way with words, I strive for that. ;)

*Giggles* believe me, the southern accent gets really annoying after a while. I get tired of listening to myself talk sometimes! :eek:

A Scottish accent on a woman.
yes.yes.YES!

Ah. I do alright. But really, what's the good of being remembered if one has to be a pest about it?

I'm actually most impressed with the multi-language accents. Like, to pull an example out of thin air, a Moroccan who learned English at a French school. So you got the French-accented English over the Arabic accent patterns. This is why I said the thing about Boston Brahmin before: I was in Boston when I was young and I still say "against" like I was Prince Charles Kennedy. "agA-inst."

the exotic cavan accent.

Another notable is Monica Bellucci (which I posted to the effect of earlier) An Italian who was brought up for some of her education in France, and then learned English... wow, what an amazing accent to have all that rolled into one and then to have it backed up by an even more beautiful voice. Whoo! Now thats sexy!

Maciej's (Sdaeriji) accent is wicked hot ;)

*skips off to another thread* :D

Irish is the best... but I do like a lot of other accents, as long as they aren't annoying... like NY accents ~shudder~ :p

The hottest accent is the southern US country accent. The kind only US southerners who live in the country (as opposed to the city) have.

Australian accents are horrid lol

'strain accents are not horrid you philistine! :mad:

and is it just me or is the Dutch-South African accent evil :eek:

Anything british = hot...

Tho I prefer my more 'intimate' partners to shut up and concentrate.

Oh...same goes for Soud Effrickens, too...makes listening to cricket on the radio more than tolerable! lol

Got any Cawfee?

Hey -- it's SUPPOSED to be pronounced "cawfee" :mad:

American ;) Russian/Ukrainian, French

Oh sh*t not again... so anywho yeah go French accents, they are so hot (tsss)

heyhey....been missin for a while so there's a lot of ppl i got something to say to. in order:

Kazcaper, Eh-oh, Nadkor....hellooo :fluffle: :fluffle: . what do you guys think about someone who changes accent on demand? (its a talent)

Naryna....how can you?!?! well, no accounting for taste.

Sum Bristol...fair play. And yeah, when you've heard Hartcliff, or Meader, or Bris, or Shire, or whatever...you know what i mean. (no offence if u live in any of those)

whenever i go on holliday i always manage to get a girl with a really nice upper class british accent wich sits me fine because i also have a british upper class accent eccept mine is masculine (think john le meassure or roger moore)
i like french accents in women also russian ans some american

I like Welsh accents....might be something to do with the fact I sometimes collapse into a Welsh accent for no reason.....but then I can sort of do scouser and Brummie too....maybe I should say I have the generic Middle Class English accent, perhaps if you listen closely enough with a touch of generic American middle class, but I don't know about that...yet.

While I was in Dallas all I got was 'I lurve yar accent!' and bad attempts at people mimicing it :p but then their attempts to get me to say 'I know y'all' came out to a similar standard. :rolleyes:
