QOTD: accentuate the positive

question of the day: do you have an accent? how would you describe it?

I have a moron accent!

its now a lovely mix of jersey slang and philly ghetto -

Baaaaaaah

No way dood! I ain't got no Philly accent. Now, you'se bedder leave me alone so I can drink my wooder in peace.

You got a problem with people who have accents you insensitive bastard?

no accent (or so i don't think so)

i ain't got no stinkin accent.....you f'ing cockaroach

I do not think I have an accent. I’m pretty conscious of it and when I moved to NJ I never wanted to pick that up. Well, unless one can count slurring when drunk as an accent.

No. Professor 'iggins helped me bunches.

sometimes-i think it the northeast philly accent, and apparently i pronounce the word phone like feau-ne, and naturally, i say hoagie instead of sub

Yes. A little bit country, a li'l bit rock & roll.

i have an american accent - can't describe it, i sound like the girls on tv.

My whole life I thought I did not have an accent, until my girlfriend in Virginia Beach told me I did. She described my accent (a Pennsylvania boy) as talking faster, abbreviating anything possible and using words like “yous” and such, which I believe you only hear in the Philly (I guess I have an accent in typing as well) area. Imagine that…

I don't have an accent at all. I learned to talk in the Pacific Northwest, and they really don't have an accent at all there.

There are times, when speaking, that I betray my midwestern roots. The words "root" and "roof" are giveaways, don'cha know?
