I think accents are well sexy! I swear anybody who possess's an accent I like could probably talk me into bed.

The only American accent I really have trouble with understanding is the Cajun accent. I'm not talking about the less severe Cajun accent that you'll hear younger people from Louisiana using, though.

When I was in college, Hurricane Katrina happened, and for some reason, a lot of people from down there relocated to my area for jobs. One really old Cajun woman worked at the Walmart in which the McDonald's I worked in at the time was located, and came in to order food. I could barely get what she was asking for, but figured it out. Then she wanted to chat.

At this point, I was completely lost. It literally sounded like gibberish to me. Then she realized I couldn't understand what she was saying and got frustrated and addressed angry "gibberish" my way. I felt horrible. But I really cannot understand that accent.

She sounded like this woman:



And I mean, I can understand most of what she's saying, but sometimes...I have no clue at all.

Whaaaa?

Man, I find non-American accents to add up to like 10 percent sex appeal to any given female. This can be a deal maker in many cases, but there may be a requirement for dirty talk.
The only ones I'm not really big on are German chicks speaking English. Probably because I heard those the most, apart from Mexicans back in the states.

If the video is any comparison, it's probably because she was speaking cajun French at times, like those two folks in the vid are doing at certain points. I don't understand that stuff either, and I was born and raised here. It's mostly the older people who still interlace what we sometimes refer to as "dirty French", into English, and there's also the accent that plays into it, but like you, I probably understood just as much as you did in that video and I'm from the very south south south of Louisiana, which is far more heavily accented in that way than northern Louisiana, who are far more typically "country" sounding up there.

Anyway, I'll translate what she said in actual English..
"He wanna know what I cooked for supper, I tell him; "nothin'".
"He ask me what bed imma sleep in tonight, I tell him; in the back bed, and him in the front bed".

That's the extent of the actual English she spoke, although it's obvious perfect grammar didn't play a huge part in it. Everything else she said was in cajun French.

Ha ha. True, they are quite alluring. I have a friend w/ an Aussie accent, and I love listening to him talk. I've known a few Brits w/ the same appeal. Even Southern US accents. It's like an exotic factor, perhaps?...really I have no idea, lol. But it does intrigue me.
