You're from Kenosha?

Naaah, just from the suburbs... but to get a proper Chicago accent you need to be from "the city" proper. Which I'm not.

Or have parents that were.

Cicero and Berwyn also count.

"Berwyn!!"

(sorry, Son of Sveghoulie flashback...)

I never thought I had an accent until I went to England to meet my cousin when I was young and nobody could understand me.

I ve got a Dundee accent (Dundonian) Its like a laguage of its own haha, had to tone it down a lot for my girlfriend who is a Hong Konger.

Anyway some Dundonian for beginners

bowfin =smelly
dockay =rock
kribee =kerb
skelp =smack
crabbit =bad tempered
a hayvir = someone who talks nonsense
hakit =pot-ugly

Just a wee selection of dundonian for yous, test tomorrow at 9!!

Depends who I am around as to how I speak. Sometimes a Bath accent, others Windsorian or Sluff(Slough) or a mix of any and all. Depends how 'common' I want to sound.

RACIST! RACIST!

What does a similarity in accent have anything to do with looking the same?

Stick to your day job Chowder...there's no more room in the S.S. Dakka for another troll...

There's trolling and kidding.
Chowderhead was kidding.

I sound like a hypnotist while working and one of the Trailer Park Boys when drinking or complaining.

Were many of them related to a moose and squirrel?

I can't remember them all, a lot of it was just saying random things.

I'm Canadian, so I sound like this


But I HATE beer, give me vodka or rum instead.

Women hang on every word I say, and I exude charisma.

Just like this guy!

He swears slightly less than I do though. Although, in Middlesbrough swear words are known as "sentence enhancers" as they add value and depth to each one you utter.

NSFW obviously...

I'm from the same wonderful town. My voice is basically a softer version of the accent demonstrated in the above clip - in fact, there are a few OT-Bags floating around these parts who will probably have heard my voice, given my relentless plugging of the band I'm, Dresden.

Matty sounds exactly like the clip. Exactly. In fact, Matty couldn't sound more Boro if his mum was a parmo, and his dad was the Transporter Bridge!
