“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!” -
I don't know that warsh is so much a region accent as it is taught by parents talking that way. I don't pronounce it that way but I have heard it by a few people.
I live very close to Lancaster, PA - home of the PA Dutch Country and you should hear the Dutch/Amish accents around here! "Auck na Jakey, let's go daan to the baan and put aot the faare onced" translated - Hey Jake, Let's go down to the barn and put out the fireComment

One of our local TV commercials is a perfect example of it.

I live about 10 miles from the Forest of Dean and there are different villages spread out throughout the forest and they have their own dialect,its pretty crazy to understand sometimes. LoL It's called forest spake (forest speak).My Dad is from there and he is hard to understand sometimes too.
"Ow bis gwan alwd butt?" which means "How's it going friend" or "Ow bist alwd butt" "How are you my old pal?"

Yeah, when the Dutch talk among themselves, they have that dialect that only they understand. My example was how they talk to "English" (regular) people. Although, I guess to them, they are regular and we are the oddballs.Comment

Coming from the Baltimore area I shouldn't judge; but this guy's accent, and the fact that he's a "lawyer," and the fact that he's on EVERY radio station down here, makes me feel stabby.

Those Carraba's Grill fellows make me feel a little bit stabby. Texans should just accept that they're Texans and not try and pronounce every entree as if they're suddenly from Sicilia.

Is there a UFO clearing somewhere in those woods?.

I find stuttering very irritating.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

Not because I don't have said accent, but that I made a career out of people dismissing me and underestimating me for having one.
Funny how race, creed, or national origin are no excuse for discrimination, but the accent that one has is well tolerated for being dismissive of what one has to offer.
Y'all's bias is showing!Last edited by saildog; Dec 2, '09, 10:57 PM.Comment
