1st Runner Up: Anywhere they make that awful nasally annoying WAAAAH (like an angry baby) sound. Like instead of let's go to the Star Mart and then to the park, it's let's go to the Staaaaaah Maaaaht and then to the paaaahk. Yuck! Voice lessons, people. Doe rae me FAAAH so LAAAAH tee doe!

2nd Runner Up: That "you betcha golly gee they gotcha good that time right there but I'm gonna getcha good next time" stuff that comes out of Sarah Palin's mouth just about every time I hear her speak is almost AS annoying. Now we know for sure- Gomer's family moved to Alaska. And the eskimos were looking like WTH?
I fully agree on all accounts! Great post.

I am surprised Hawaii hasn't been talked about that much. I don't think the Pidgin accent is ugly or anything just really unique. Whenever I am in Hawaii I find myself getting lazy and slipping into Pegion " hey you going to da beach brada?

I agree. You do not hear many country or southern accents in Houston. It is pretty much neutral/
