Comments on: Accents. Is there a cranky dialect? http://randomesq.com/2008/05/15/accents-is-there-a-cranky-dialect/ The Random Observations of a Random Esquire Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:00:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Angie http://randomesq.com/2008/05/15/accents-is-there-a-cranky-dialect/#comment-4591 Angie Wed, 21 May 2008 19:36:25 +0000 http://randomesq.com/2008/05/15/accents-is-there-a-cranky-dialect/#comment-4591 Having grown up within a family where everyone had an accent but me and my brothers, I can't say an accent does much for me because it's not novel. Perhaps it's the novelty that turns people on? I'm not turned off by it at all, but there needs to be more to the package I guess. The times when I've been in France and spoken French, a few people would say my American accent was cute. It always surprised me because I would never consider my own accent to be nice in any way. Maybe it was my modesty at speaking so poorly that was cute?

A lot of people think I kinda sound have a "valley girl white chic" accent, but I TOTALLY don't hehe. The reason I know I don't is because I get really annoyed when I hear people who are like, ohmigod, talking like a valley girl! It makes me wanna slap them silly. I like latin accents on guys, think Antonio Banderes. MMMM. I SOMETIMES like French. I totally had a crush on this one DILF who I helped when he came into my old job. He had a French accent, and THE BEST. COLOGNE. EVERRRRR. I wanted to lick him. Wow. His son was my age and he was married. But still... the cologne, and the accent, together. geez. He came in again like a month later and I just HAD to ask him what the cologne he was wearing the last time I saw him was. They stopped making it like 15 years ago but apparently you can sometimes find it in airports. But I never have. Anyways back to the French accents. Sometimes I like them and sometimes I wanna scream "SHUT UP PEPI LE PEUX" or however the heck you spell that. I’m really good at the cranky accent.

I love me some accents. I'm not even super picky :) Exotic level FTW! The only accent that really DOES NOT work for me is a Southern accent. It just doesn't do anything for me at all. Bleh.

I know. Weird. But it does. Especially the sound of an R, from a native Arabic speaker. As for cranky dialect. I have it, if it's possible. Do you have an older brother who perhaps would like the crank accent? :) Arabic turns me on. I know. Weird. But it does. Especially the sound of an R, from a native Arabic speaker.

An accent can just be something special for someone. I'll take any help I can get.
