I spent two hours in Foxwoods one night and I started to pick up this accent.

PA - can't stand a drawl with the use of "yunz". Makes me insane.

Ohio - now there's some broadcast-no-accent-flat-speech.

Agreed. And I'm not sure if it's pittsburgh or all of PA that says "inat" to mean "and that". They stick it at the end of every other sentence. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

that minnesota accent really bugs.

It's awful. Here's the worst - there's a whole group of these people that literally* can't correctly pronounce -ag. "Bag" or "[censored]" becomes "baig" or "faig," "jaguar" is "jaiguar."

But when they are SUPPOSED to make the "ai" sound, they don't, as in "bagel." They say "beg-al" or "baah-gal."

Fvcking idiots.

* I don't mean figuratively. I tried for five minutes once to get this chick to say "bag" properly. She couldn't.

I can't stand the California surfer-dude accent. I hate people who say 'brah'.

This actually comes from Hawaii, as a "pidgin" language exists which is a mixture of English and (insert many ethnic groups that came here 100+ years ago).

I'm from Texas, and I say y'all. But one thing that does really bug me is when people use y'all to mean you, and in the singular. Just say you! Also, y'all is, at least a legitimate contraction, unlike yous. That one bugs the [censored] outta me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Um, no. Bullshit.
2nd Person Singular: You.
2nd Person Plural: You.

Making [censored] up because it's a regional thing is lame.

For the record, The only times I've every heard that said are when people are describing, or making fun of, Boston accents. I've never heard anyone say it in a "normal" conversation.

I'm from Oregon.... we have no accent whatsoever.

you're high. I spent two years in Oregon and decided that there's a wormhole in the universe that connects Oregon with Georgia. I had friends with no ties to the deep south who spoke with a southern twang. they were from medford, sweethome and crescent city, so it wasn't a regional thing,either.
