Do you like my accent? (albums, fan, American, track)

first post here.

I am from New Orleans, and we have many different accents here. I speak with a pretty standard, rhotic (for those of you who know what that means) American accent, but in New Orleans, you can usually tell what neighborhood of the city people grew up in strictly based on their accent. And none of us sound like that tool from the movie "The Big Easy."

Also, I say y'all. And a tip from anybody who ever wants to come down here and fit in- it's not a median, it's a "neutral ground." But that one is excusable. However, don't ever call it New Orleens or, even worse, N'Awlins. This makes us want to slap you.

My favorite accent, ever, was two girls from Memphis I met at spring break in Florida one year. Good god- just to hear them talk, I could taste their sweetness. Sexiest things i have ever seen.

I am so fucking glad I take after my (English) Mother.

That means I don't have to suffer having a Guernsey accent like my Dad does.

I like to think I've had a part to play in that

I'm from Georgia. I sounded like foghorn leghorn until I moved to St. Louis - where all the kiddies made fun of me, I dropped my Georgian accent like a bad habit in public. When I talk to my family... it returns.

I think British Pharaoh lives in the Ashton area of Manchester which is only about 3 to 4 miles east of where I live and the accents are noticeably different.
I've heard Molecules or was it Guitar Bizarre??? talk on a youtube vid and I'd guess his accent is south to southwest of the city centre somewhere.
Probably only a few miles from where I am, but again a different accent.
Pheurton who lives over the hills further east probably speaks with a hair lip due to centuries of inbreeding.

That would have been me, and you're right, I live just out of manchester in a town called Stockport. A little to the Southeast.
