There's a love of accents that I love. Many that I find downright erotic! But there's nothing about the Boston accent that is in the least bit attractive to me. Even thick Brooklyn accents are easier on the ears! Granted I'm not a fan of New York/Brooklyn accents, but even those run circles around the Boston accent.
Seriously. If the Boston accent were an unborn baby, I'd recommend it be aborted. Sadly, as I'm sure most parents feel, the damage is done, and its too little, too late.
I thought I would've heard more southern accents here than I do, but...it's actually pretty uncommon in Savannah, surprisingly enough. Almost all of the tour guides have accents, though.
Boston accents still make my toes curl in all the right ways sorry buck
Where as mine snap sharply up, and backwards, in the complete opposite direction that toes were meant to bend, or curl.
It's just my personal preference. I can't fucking stand it. I love the shit out of the letter "r." I covet it! At least as far as the Boston accent is concerned. Oddly enough I can let go of it in exchange for a sultry, breathy southern accent.
Have you considered that the act of not facebook friending these people would only lead to "serious dramas" because they are precisely the sort of idiot you don't really want to have anything to do with in the first place?
Absolutely, yes.
The fact remains, though, that for the time being (i.e. until I leave my hometown more permanently, which I imagine will happen in the next year and a half at the very latest), it makes my life easier by going along with things.
Eh, you're not saying anything that couldn't be solved with a fake obituary and a decent disguise moustache.
Really, I think we have a horrible accent, never liked it.
Its because you folk always sound like you're asking a question. Its that generic upwards inflection that Aussies tend to add at the end of a statement. Y'all do tend to sound enthusiastic most of the time though. I'll give ya that. It's not necessarily a bad thing, and at times the Aussie accent can sound pretty sexy.
All accents. All accents I dig. Even the thick Indian one from when I call customer support.
Well kudos to you then. There are a lot of accents out there that I'd easily fall head-over-heels for. A number of which I could easily rattle off the top of my head. But there's also a fair number that I can't fucking stand. The Boston accent probably tops off the list for me.
I enjoy Australian accents. They're really hard for me to mimic, though - half of the time I end up speaking with a southern accent after a few sentences.
Well, I figured out how to do live broadcasts with my camera again. When I get back from the zoo tomorrow I will be live broadcasting some oil painting. So watch for that. It's going to be super exciting.

Sinjay: [Aghast] I've totally confused you with Australians? I - I feel terrible. Your accents sound similar.
Jemaine: No, no, our accents are completely different, they're like [high-pitched] "where's the car" and we're like [normal voice] "Where's the car."

Joys upon joys, I am super excited to finally see you oils. Also which zoo you are going to? Is it the one with the aviary or the one with the pain in the ass steep hills? I never felt so out of shape until I went to the hill zoo.
So I dropped a piece of sheet steel on my leg and its kinda bleeding a lot more than I thought it was. When I got home and got ready for bed my leg was covered in blood. I guess I should just sleep it off. I think it stopped.

If you lived in Massachusetts as long as I have, you might do the same.

Reminds me of when Jin would try to say Michael's name during the second season of Lost. They were such fast friends............

Unnggh, I hate that. That's the one thing that bugs me the most about our accent.
Like nothin' can can get y'all down! You Aussies just keep on truckin'!!

There's an Australian woman that's begun teaching a class at our metals studio, and she has the most Outback Steakhouse accent I've ever heard.
I also work with an Australian woman who's accent somehow sounds anything but Australian most of the time.
[Mimicking] accents are/is rad, yo
edit: I do not regret this TOTP.
