Quoted: Fake Texas drawls. Unless you live in a rural area or grew up in a rural area, most of us do not have it to any great degree. But the number of Suburban F250 Cowboys who like to talk that way are ridiculous. They are incredible annoying too. Just be yourself. In all your tract home wrangler wearing lifted F250 glory, just be yourself. View Quote |

Midwest is hard on the ears.
Anything north east coast especially if is really strong. Anyone attempting to imitate southern. Many actors just suck at it. |

Quoted: I get accused of having a southern accent. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Anything above the Mason-Dixon Line. I get accused of having a southern accent. I was born and raised in northern IL, Italian people tell me I have a southern drawl. Only Italians though. |

Quoted: It's a real accent. I don't deny that. My point is that it isn't heavy unless you grew up in the country. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: You guys have a bit going on though, but it's very muted compared to hillbilly southern. Usually I can peg a Texan given enough time hearing them speak. I can believe that. I'd say you have a wide varying degree of accent based on what part of Texas you're from(and I say that among generational Texans, not transplants). At least that's my experience with my Texas friends. |

Boston. I was beaten by a nun with a heavy accent and to this day that accent bothers me.

Most any big city accent, especially in the northeast.
Basically, anyone who can't articulate. I know that isn't necessarily a regional thing. |

Utah has a strange one, i dont hate it but its sure different.

Quoted: Well…..an accent is an indicator of being raised, in the formative years, in a specific geographic location. Along with an accent comes socio-cultural mores and values. In the area that you're talking about , NYC and the Burroughs to include Suffolk county, sociologists refer to those peoples as "fucking assholes" . View Quote Nicely done!!! |

Quoted: Honest question, asking as a born and raised NYer living in Michigan - what is the Michigan accent? I really don't hear it. I have a very specific hate of one - female NYer/northern NJer/Lier like Fran Drescher or Marisa in My Cousin Vinnie. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: What's wrong with our accent? I think it's pissah. And there's nothing like some foul mourned Boston broad cussing you out to really get ya going. Kidding, I fucking hate the accent too and I want to punch anyone who accentuates it purposely in the mouth. But to choose one not from my own area I would have to say Michigan. Honest question, asking as a born and raised NYer living in Michigan - what is the Michigan accent? I really don't hear it. I have a very specific hate of one - female NYer/northern NJer/Lier like Fran Drescher or Marisa in My Cousin Vinnie. It's kind of like a Wisconsin/Canadian mixture. Not as nasally as Wisconsin but (and I will be honest that my experience is limited to only a few people) to me they sound like Canadians on coke just gabbing away and only every 6th word is intelligible. Not to say they aren't nice people, but I could have gotten away with just text or messenger pigeon to communicate. |

We used to make fun of the Wisconsin guys after the teams meetings were over.
Lived in the Northeast for a long time. Can't stand Boston, Jersey shore, and NYC accents. Most any northeast accent really. So glad to be back in the South. |

Boston accent. I've always referred to it as natural birth control.

Anything from up north. Especially anything from NYC or New Jersey.

Northeast accents in general sound like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I hear a lot of them at work from calls with our northeastern counterparts.
I've worked on my Received Pronunciation British accent as a counter to it. |

The whole NE from Philly to Boston accent is horrible. This is coming from a guy who was raised in NJ. I’m going to also include the sickly sweet southern accent too!

Quoted: I have a really strong southern accent like Strom Thurmond used to have strong. I’ve had women “plural” Both in Maine & Las Vegas buy me drinks just to hear me talk. lol I’ve always thought that was a hoot. View Quote I've had many people tell me I have the thickest southern accent they've ever heard. Sadly, it's not the cool sounding southern accent, it's straight up country hick. I know there's an area through the Orangeburg/St. Matthews range where people sound about like cajuns to me. |

Quoted: The completely fake and virtually unintelligible Mid-Atlantic accent, typified by Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, invented by Hollywood to make their actors seem wealthy and smart. View Quote I just found out about this made up accent recently. I always wondered why they sounded like this back in the 30’s and 40’s. |
