depends on the type of gag...worst case scenario you end up listening to a garbled horrible accent and it sounds like foghorn leghorn with a novacaine injection or something :(

As a speech language pathologist, I find dialects and accents fascinating. There is one, however, that makes my skin crawl....a Tennessee accent. It's hands down THE WORST accent in the south, which are all pretty annoying, particularly when accompanied with bad grammar and lack of vocabulary. Sad to say, my best friend and a dear cousin are both from "Tinnesee" which freaking drives me crazy.

You just keep thinking we're less than intelligent. I'll thoroughly enjoy the fallout. [:D]

ETA. I'm truly surprised that a Language pathologist wouldn't realize that there is no "Tennessee accent" per se.
There are actually 3 accents commonly encountered in the state.
1. The Appalachian which is most commonly encountered in the area that runs down the eastern border from Mountain City to Chattanooga and basically east of Oak Ridge.

2. The Delta which is most common in the SW corner of the state centered on Memphis.

3. The basic drawl which is encountered in the rest of the state with the exception of Nashville.

Nashville is a special case as I don't think anyone who presently lives there was actually born there so it's a hodgepodge.

I don't have a problem with any accent. People speak the way they speak. I find the innumerable accents fascinating. What I do have a problem with is accent discrimination. For example, when someone speaks in a phony Southern American accent in order to denote stupidity because, as we all know Southern Americans are stupid.

Two thoughts on southern accents:

(a) When Jimmy Carter took office, Sen. Howard Baker remarked how nice it was finally to have a President without an accent.

(b) As an exchange student in England, I once observed to a British friend that that the English were far more biased about accents than we Americans are. He cocked an eyebrow and asked, "Oh really? And how seriously do you take a speaker with a thick drawl?" Must admit that shut me up.

Squeaky frail little Asian voices kill me . . . I would rather choke them to death and fuck their lifeless but still warm bodies than allow them to live on and squeak one more time.

But...I want to know how you really feel.

Squeaky, high-pitched voices annoy me more than anything (regardless of accent).
I have an in-law with an incredibly annoying squeak that I have to leave the room sometimes to take a break.

That weird 'growl' teen girls/20 something women put in their voices. That irks me as well.

It's been my experience, that if your family was here in the 1600's, you're pretty much related to every other family that was here at that time. So, it's not far fetched.

Even 3000 miles away, I was at a charity event and met a woman with a similar heritage as mine and it turns out our families were linked.

a lot of british accents are really terrible boner killers, but the worst for me is upper crusty east coast aristocratic boston brahmin type voices. they're rare but ugh they remind me of childhood too much.

locust valley lockjaw. locked down on a dick. 4ever.

how about you? what kinds of accents just turn you right off?


For me it's more about what people say than about their accent, no matter what accent a girl has it's turn of if the words coming out of her mouth is shit.

I can't think of any off the top of my head that drive me up a wall, honestly.

Dude, if you are making 20 year olds growl, you should be happy about it not annoyed.

Just sayin'
