Accents: love / hate

[Buckaroo]

Spurred on by Yorick's comment about dear Kenny nee Trotty and her accent, it got me thinking about accents that I dislike and those I find pleasing on the ear.

I really don't like the current rasping naselly American female accent. It sounds so affected.

A nice well spoken Geordie lass I find rather pleasing to listen to and the occasional dose of posh totty, especially when being reprimanded

What's your least favourite and pleasing accent.

@Yorick just answer the latter

[Dodgy69]

I like girl scouse but not boy scouse. I blame Abbey Clancy.

I did a lot of IT support on phone.
Many female Scots lassies sounded so sexy.

Scouser and Brummy, oooooh. Sorry boss

[ZRX61]

Can't stand scouse accents, Brum comes in a close 2nd.
Also:
Aussies that sound like they're fucking whining all the damn time.
Cockneys

The most annoying accent is that Mike Brewer twat

The accent of Italian gals gives me wood. Banged a bunch of them.
Upper class English gals at Cambridge Uni, sorted more than my share of those too.

Southern Irish girls <wibble>

Brummie accents, Wolverhampton in particular, make me laugh. I could be given the worse news ever by a Brummie doctor and still I'd have to snigger.

Posh Scot is nice.

Danish ( or a Dane speaking English) is plain odd. It's like the tongue is fighting the language. It's often said that Danish is like Swedish being spoken by somebody with a hot potato in their mouth.

American West Coast and South African accents are like nails on a blackboard to my ears.

And goes without saying, the South London accent is loved and envied around the globe.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Any London / Essex / Kent accent, they all sound like whiney twats.

What's an Essex girl's favourite wine?

My Danish relies always tell me if you want your Danish to sound correct you just need to speed up and try to sound drunk

[Count Steer]

Some languages look nice when written but don't sound nice spoken. eg Spanish is a great written lingo but sounds like gargling.

Just same in real life

Ahem. Point of order: Wolverhampton is Black Country, not Brum. We're Yam Yams, not Brummies

I am not fond of certain South African accents.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Only people from Wolverhampton make the distinction between Wolverhampton and Brummie.

[rodbargee]

Soft geordie ( not gazza or boro) ashington's nice

I was brought up in Sedgley, Dudley if you REALLY want to split hairs/make it worse

It's all the same, so stick up yer Bumble Hole.

There is genuinely a road in a village not far away from me, and technically in Wolverhampton, called Bumble Hole Meadows

You should know better. Wolverhampton ay in the Black Country, but you am Yamyams.

I'm with you on the South Africans though

Wombourne. You have no idea how many arguments that "u" has caused

[Mr Moofo]

Having been brought up be B’ham I find a Brummie accent strangely endearing.
Hated: hardcore Essex
Jafrican accents on white kids
The Mancunian Whine - think Gallagher Brothers, what his name from The Fall and most ManYoo fans
