Love the Southern accent to death, as you can tell you've stepped into a region where men are men and women are women, unlike the trashy Northeast, where men are whiny imitations of themselves and many women are career lesbians.

A good looking woman with a Southern dialect is the next best thing to meeting God.

Hate the way they murder the English language in Massachusetts and some of NYC's boroughs. Ugh, the Northeast is so trashy

The Southern accent can be the best or the worst sounding accent. It really depends on the person, and it has a lot to do with their social class.

I generally don't like accents from the Northeast, but I do like when black people have New York accents. It sounds really nice.

The general Midwestern accent is the easiest on my ears, but not the Minnesota accent, or the nasally accent around Chicago. Think Lower Midwest.

The accent I have, Southern.

Northeastern accents are so annoying and make you sound like a hood-lum.
On whites it sounds like they have a serious sinus infection.

What is a "Northeastern accent"?
They vary quite a bit................................
Someone from Rhode Island does not sound anything like someone from Philly.

Whats wrong? Do you sound like a hood-lum?

It's all that gangster city talk like "yo son", "yo b" etc and all that nonsense.
