accents you find annoying

[fallensaviour]

What part of the country are you listening too ?

I never heard anyone pronounce those words that way.

From all over actually Southerners,New Yorkers,Chicagoans(LOL),Californians,
Floridians,Texans....You name it I've heard them say it.
Drives me freaking Bananas Warsh ...LOL

[megoapesnut]

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 fire

Sounds a little like the Allentown/Macungie accent which is all over these parts.
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?"

[megoapesnut]

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.

[Mikey]

I think it's funny that the Amish call everyone "English" ...... most Americans I know are not English and don't even have English roots

[kryptosmaster]

It almost sounds like every song is a Hitler speach set to music

The infamous tech support accents!

You know, when you are calling some computer software or hardware tech support toll free number and you get someone in India and you have no idea what they are saying to you!

Yet they always seem to have names like Bill or Frank not Mubeena or Jawarhalal.

Yo dawg...yo better be chillin'...o I iz gonna cap yo azz...sucka!!!

Aks me one mo' time...

I gots a ink pen fo' sale. Fitty cent.

I never heard anyone pronounce those words that way.

I do hear a lot of people pronounce chimney, chi-mi-ney though

How about "pic-a-nic"?

pacquiao's accent doesn't bother you?

Tagalog accented English is pretty annoying...yes.

[BlackKnight]

I find southern accents to be annoying.

[Bill]

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.


Ennie of yuse gots a prollum wit dat and we can tahk it owt upit Droodle Park, Hon.

The creatures of the forest speak in mysterious ways.
Is there a UFO clearing somewhere in those woods?

[Mikey]

I like chicks with American Southern or British accents

Not the trampy British kind though, where they say stuff like ... Wot you tauk'in bout, gov ? .. not that kind

[Mikey]

I just thought of one I personally do ...

99% of the time in general conversation I say hunert instead of hundred

Example, I would say --- It costs about 2 hunert bucks

[Werewolf]

I find stuttering very irritating.

[saildog]

I find southern accents to be annoying. Makes people sound stupid. Even when i see a well to do southerner with a thick uneducated accent.

Haven't weighed in yet, but with this, I have to say, "I know what you mean.".

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!
