Sexy Accents

[NikkiLinkle]

I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about sexy accents. Antonio Bandaras and Salma Hayek were being interviewed, and damn Salma! Your accent is pretty sexy. But she's just sexy. So, is it the accent? Or are these people just sexy? Hmmm.

What's your favourite sexy accent?

I like Scottish and Irish accents. My boss is Scottish and whenever he speaks, it's funny but cool. I wouldn't say sexy, because he's my boss and he's good looking. And that might suggest something. Although he was wearing board shorts the other day and he has chicken legs which is not sexy.

I think the male Australian accent is pretty sexy. Unless you're a bogan, that's not sexy. I don't really know about any other accents. I guess it depends on the person really.

Hay you said I look like your boss that one time.

I think Spanish (Spain) accents are the sexiest. Or maybe New Zealand accents.

[Rocky]

NZ accents cant be that sexy since I cant understand what Alpha says half the time l0l0l0l0l trololol. or maybe its that much sexier when drunk, idk!

I always had a thing for australian accents, as long as they werent overbearing. In any case, I'm from the midwest, so no accent for me

[Rowan]

Ive always disliked Australian accents because of how they are portrayed in cinema, but after hearing countless testimony from people about how sexy the Australian accent is, Im inclined to agree that it is. I hate southern Australian accent though. Far too 'aussie'.

I like french and american accents.

We cant forget the sexiest accent of them all though,


GERMAN

@Rocky: No accent for me either.

I don't consider accents to be "sexy". If I am talking to someone with an accent, I'd prefer one that isn't so strong and makes me constantly ask if they would repeat what they're saying.

Or, if I can recognize the accent, I would actually choose to speak in their language (if it's not English). Although I would never flat-out ask them where they came from to find out which language they speak (that's super rude). Makes things so much easier for me if I just speak what they do.

I do worry sometimes what people think when I speak Chinese, especially. Does it sound odd to them when I speak it? If a conversation lasts a while, I tend to mix second- and fourth-tones. Other than that, perfection.

GERMAN

OH NO, not ZE GERMANS!

And whether you like it or not, you guys have accents too! Even though you can't hears it.

[NikkiLinkle]

Hay you said I look like your boss that one time.

Hahahaha Do you have chicken legs too?

[Dranzer]

I've always found Australian accents to be sexy as hell. I also find Scottish accents attractive, some British (more Northern though), and some Irish depends how drunk they are.

A great deal of my family have New York accents (Long Island) - I'm from Maryland, however, so that's pretty non-existent; I've been told I have a southern 'twang' though...

@Rowan: German accents? Really? That's interesting I don't think I've ever heard that before. I find the German language itself interesting, but the sound of it isn't attractive to me. Some phrases sound like the speaker is about to hurl or spit something at me, but that's just my opinion.

[Polk]

I just re-watched Fargo not too long ago. I swear I had a rod the entire time.

[Maridia]

English, Aussie, Irish, South African.

Scottish people I can't understand past the second sentence. I feel retarded I have to hang on every word.

French girls have sounded nice. But the pit shaving situation I've heard is 50/50 and that scares me.

I could go on a laundry list as to why others do or don't do it for me. Then again why the way someone rolls their r's gets me going is equally silly to explain.

Melbourne.

[che]

Hahahaha Do you have chicken legs too?

No, I have hot soccer player legs.

French girls have sounded nice. But the pit shaving situation I've heard is 50/50 and that scares me.

I'm down with french accents.

[Maridia]

I forgot to put my 2 cents in on southern accents. They're a love/hate with me.

If a girl has one and she's cool it's like a +100. I could have sworn a girl in the summer was Sandy from Spongebob, and she was talking about Texas and weather, this and that. It was great.

Then you get ones who just annoys the shit of me. When some bitch tries to pull this "Y'all should know better" bullshit. And I want to slam your head into the corner of a desk.

I'm actually cursed by living around people who like baseball and play it poorly. Plus they can't say "Park my car" right. So I guess no matter where I go it's a rough ride.

And then I remember I was born in Rhode Island. And I smile

GERMAN

DAMN YOU! I wanted to say that as a joke as well! XD
But then I'll go with Russian accent. xP That's pretty much the same.
Besides, I hate hate hate how some Germans (probably not all of them) aren't able to pronounce the "th" properly. -_- That just sounds awful.


As for the topic, Spanish accents somehow sound sexy to me. I don't know why that is, though. (I don't even know any Spanish people at all, I think. O.o" Only heard it on TV... And isn't Antonio Banderaz also from Spain? Or somewhere near Spain? Dunno, but he sounds pretty pretty sexy *,,*")

Other than that, most American accents. Aaand British accents. <3

[RamesesII]

Damn Aussies might have this one down packed haha as long as they have all their teeth when the talk and can speak properly and not use slang all the time then it doesn't matter what accent someone has to me.

I think a girl or lady who has a real articulate way of speaking turns me on I don't know if any of you youngins has watched Cheers before but Diane played by Shelly Long really got me going until they brought in Kirstie Alley.

[Halie]

I like Irish, Scottish and American accents most. I'm not very good at doing Irish and Scottish ones but American ones I'm pretty good at.

I'm not too fond of the American ones who tend to roll their 'r's too much though, that can be really annoying. Welsh accents are horrible, especially when you hear them on telly next to someone with a nice, welsh-spoken English accent or something. They sound bloody awful lol. Luckily mine aint as thick as they are up in the Valleys and Swansea, etc.

[nickness89]

I love male Italian accents, they always make me want to eat spaghetti bolognese on the beach with a bottle of wine and go to see an opera

New York accents are good too, especially the proper Italian-American style, like Joe Pesci.

Oh and German accents, guys with German accents bring out my wild side. German ftw!

I'? Scottish so I don't really find Scottish accents that sexy. Same goes for English, Welsh and Northern Ireland, they just aren't sexy at all for me. Republic of Ireland, especially Dublin, have a sexy accent.

[seanb]

I'm Irish.

Audio tapes are available by enquiry via PM, ladies.


P.S: Cucumbers not included.

I really should have known. XD

LOL, I just watched that last night (TVLand plays re-runs here). Diane also just got kinda cute when she was angry.

I'm not too fond of the American ones who tend to roll their 'r's too much though, that can be really annoying.

Chicago accents can be absolutely horrendous, as well as a few Boston accents. The letter 'r' seems non-existent; the phrase "park the car" can sound like "Pahk the cahh." It depends on the person though (for Boston), cause I've heard very attractive accents from that region too.

Also, I can't stand the phrase "Yins" - I'm pretty sure it's a Pennsylvania thing, almost like a version of "y'all". I have a few relatives that say it and I find it slightly obnoxious.

[NikkiLinkle]

I was checking out my boss yesterday afternoon, my work station is right near the office and I can spy on people pretty good from there Hopefully he didn't notice Then he came out and said goodbye to everyone and there was that Scottish accent. It's not a thick need subtitles accent. You can understand what he says.

I don't really like the way Americans say 'mom', it's MUM! I know it's just the way it sounds, but it annoys me. Although when I say mum over and over, it sounds pretty annoying too

[Aerif]

OK, now I know to move to either Australia or the USA to set up a premium-rate telephone service where I talk to whomsoever calls. Doesn't need to be dirty talk, since I can't imagine myself actually being able to do that.

I like strong Dublin accents and strong County Tyrone accents, the rest of Ireland is okay - but I definetly have my favourites. I also quite like 'very proper' English accents, but my favourites so far have been from Nottingham and Malton... or was it Pickering? (North Yorkshire). I do find it quite difficult to distinguish between location and accent - the individuals I refer to have been from this area but may not reflect the accent themselves.

A lot of people here seem to like Spanish accents. I hate them. It may just be bad experiences but Spanish people seem to be quite rude holidaymakers.

[Unknown Entity]

There's some accents I really love from England. I don't like the snotty nose/snob accents at all, nor do I like the really loose ones. I like the ones in the middle, but slightly higher up. I can't give any examples, haha. SOME Liverpool accents are nice, but most are just terrible.

Irish accents are very hot. Male voices only though - women's aren't so hot. The right pitch and smoothness of an Irish accent on a guy is an instant turn on for me. Some Irish accents are a little too strong though, so I prefer the weaker ones.

I don't really like American accents all that much from how they are in the movies and in music. A few Americans I have spoken to on Skype and in real life have had pretty sexy accents though, and don't come near as ridiculous and unattractive in the media.

I don't find Australian, French and Spanish accents attractive. MOST Aussie accents hit me like nails on a chalkboard, and French and Spanish accents are portrayed as "sexy" too much in the media. Hell, I don't really like most European accents (some Russian and Polish is hawt though).

[motscroises]

I'm pretty much digging all my coworkers with French accents, it's pretty awesome.

But uh... a Michigan accent is clearly the sexiest accent.

[Lily]

Theres a bloke that rings work every now and again, and as soon as I hear his voice I just get a big cheeser plastered right across my face. He has the most amazing scottish accent ever. I dont like the really strong weegie accent, but a nice soft Scottish accent just makes me drool

I think Id be devastated if he wasnt as fit as he sounded haha

[Michael Swayne]

This doesn't have much to do with accents, as it is more toward languages. I was doing a translation over the phone today, and then I sneezed. When I sneeze, I kind of make a "Ah-she" sound rather than "A-choo".

My client was Chinese, and asked me what was wrong because "Ah-Xi" is translated to "Oh S***". I kindly said "Dui bu chi (I'm sorry). I sneezed." I felt so embarrassed that I sneezed while working firstly, and then I was floored that my client thought I had used an obscenity during our conversation that I started reverting back to English.

After I apologized, he tried to make me feel better by saying, "At least you said it right."

[Clint]

I like American accents as long as it's not those really gay accents that people have in New England. Most notably, those horrible New York/New Jersey accents, and those goddamn fake Boston accents that all those college kids have as soon as they move to Boston, even though they didn't have the accent before they moved there.

Essentially I like any accent native to North America, with the exception of those horrible New England accents I mentioned, and those stupid French Canadian accents. On top of sounding retarded, it sounds like they have a mouth full of shit.

Real nice, was that completely necessary? XD

And still the Canadians with fake-Scottish accents and excess amounts of body fat epidemic continues.

HA! Touché.

I don't get it.
