Well, back east in Missoura and Kansas where I'm from ya'll would probably be talking about that there crick over yonder. I don't really know how to put the american mid-west accent in writing. It's kind of a down on the farm drawl. It's been a lot of years. I wouldn't say I have a californian accent now, but, like, hella dude.

Actually I live in Northern Cali, small town that is like half hippy, half whitetrash-redneck.

Watch the movie Valley Girl. Like, totally. and Deliverance. Combine the accents togeather.


Ya'll best skidaddle. Go on, Get!

the stoke accent requires you to put an "eee" before every vowel, as in...ahem... "steeeop eeeit". not that im a dyed in the wool stokey, im just a stone nancy boy. rob's one of the stoke hardcore, and vezzer's gotta mouth like a sagger maker's bottom knocker.

Over here in Nor. California (at least in my neck of the woods), we transpose our long vowell sounds for short ones. We don't say "mail" we say "mell". A pale reminder is a pell reminder. We also don't use the "i" sound as in pin or pillow. We say pen and pellow. But twenty is twinty. I guess I should say that there's just no difference between the "i" sound and "e" sound - that it could easily be either. It's all very weird. "Either" is always "eeether". But "weird" is closer to "wird" than "weerd". We also say "IN-ter-est-ing" instead of "in-TREST-ing".

We do use a glottal stop in words like "button" which my friends from Oregon seem to have done away with (they say "budden" which is really annoying to me for some reason.)

I'm a transplant from the east coast (Buffalo, NY) to Los Angeles, so here in L.A, I'm told I pronounce hard 'A' wrong, too honky on words like "care", whereas, back home, they say I have a "california" accent, whatever that means. They're both wrong!

I am shocked, I can't believe you said that about Mr RobertDJ, Wing. We don't talk like on the internet. Go sit in the corner and count 011011000100110111010100111110101010101, when you are finished counting, convert it to hexadecimal. Fucking wanker.

In New Hampshire, they say "wicked" to describe just about everything, good or bad.

No shit!! We do that ALL THE TIME!! 'Glottal stop!' I never knew it was called that. Gotta write a song called that. Honestly, Stoke accents are so bloody full of them.

Hey though - I'd really prefer that in a States accent. I hate how Americans are always in the CIDDY, or BEDDER than the rest, or SEDDLED down to have kids. Loads of DJs and shit do it over here. Fuck, John fucking Major used to do it all the time. Probably Blair does too.

I am fond of using the word "Choice" to describe good things. "Hey Man, that game of bocce ball was choice."

[bobbydj]

That's weird!!

I am kind of into using the word 'ploggle' to refer to void cakes.

Well, we still say cidy and bedder and seddled, but we use the glottal stop in places like button or even appointment. My friends from Oregon say "budden" and "appoindment". It sounds like they have colds. There's others but I can't think of them off of the top of my head...

The use of the "d" sound to replace "t" (or vice-versa) is called a "flap" or a "t flap"... i.e. "latter" "little" "data" "at all". Just so you know. I'm kind of a closet linguist, so this stuff is up my alley.
