What's the sexiest accent in the English language?

[Bicoastal]

I know, I know, there are regionals within all of these. Don't be afraid to generalize.

[skygazer]

1. Russian

[Bicoastal]

I'll do foreign accents next time.

Da, Tovarish?

[driver8]

2. To me, it's Australian (or New Zealand).

I absolutely love that accent.

[Shell Beau]

3. I do love the southern accent! Oh wait, that is my accent!

;)

[trof]

57. Yes! A glaring omission.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

4. You left out

Red Neck Bubba... Oo-La-La-Sha-zam!

[Bicoastal]

6. Pick American, then.

I'll do regional accents some other time.

Ah do declare ahm gettin' the vapors...

[QueenOfCalifornia]

8. Oh,

Captain Butler, how you do go on....

[Love Bug]

5. A Glasgow accent makes me weak in the knees....

[Deja Q]

14. Did ye know I speak with a Scots accent?

My ancestry is also Scottish... :D

[Love Bug]

23. Oooooo..... say something Scottish, baby!

:D

[Deja Q]

35. 'ave you seen the size of my sporran I've got in front of me kilt? And

[MorningGlow]

7. I picked English but...

Anything from the U.K. works for me! :hi:

[supernova]

9. There's several different accents

in England.

[Bicoastal]

10. What am I, a linguist?

Not a very cunning one, anyway.

Cor blimey, didn't have the bleedin' room for every accent from upper-class twit to cockney chimneysweep, now did I? Just pick English already, gov'nor.

[supernova]

13. I like Yorkshire-ese, myself

:D

[T_i_B]

[Love Bug]

24. Ya, you betcha!

[KitchenWitch]

42. Yah shoore doncha knooow!

:P

[ceile]

12. Irish! n/t

[NashVegas]

15. Huh? No Southern Belles & Gents?

Sheesh, y'all.

[cobalt1999]

16. American Southern by far.

There are places in the South were I used to fall in love daily.

[redqueen]

17. Irish!

:bounce:

With Scottish a very close second.

[billyskank]

21. Irish is mine too.

[redqueen]

22. :)

:hi:

[Cabcere]

18. Irish, for me.

:loveya: But Scottish and English are close behind. :thumbsup:

[unpossibles]

19. depends on the gender of the speaker for me

Male Bostonians often annoy me, whereas female Bostonians I know sound good. The opposite is often true of New Yorkers. No wait, most NYers sound annoying.

:)

In more serious mode, I'll just go with "all of the above"

[stuntcat]

20. American Southern

Yeah I vote for myself, why t f not :hi:

[lips]

25. Minnesota, ayh

[txwhitedove]

39. Hehehe, count me in, too!

In fact, I worked for a company who specifically used women in sales because
their customers wanted to hear the Southern accent.

:*

[MrScorpio]

26. A Red headed Scottish Woman could probably own my very soul

I've just admitted to my very own Kryptonite

[lost-in-nj]

36. Hmmmm

Knowing what he looks like
I think if I heard Billyskank talk I would
buckle at the knees.......

lost

[Lydia Leftcoast]

27. Any of the British Isles accents, especially if spoken by

the types of scholars who appear as expert commentators on PBS documentaries. :7

[Arugula Latte]

28. English -- but I have to say I prefer the accent of southern England

Sorry, Mancunians and Liverpudlians :hide:

[Tian Zhuangzhuang]

29. Alright who voted for Canadian? nt

[Left Is Write]

32. It depends on the person from whose mouth the accent is heard.

[lost-in-nj]

33. I could not pick just one

I think all accents are sexy.... except Brooklyn and Lonk island....


Although I heard David Beckham talk today for the first time....

I ...ummm think he sounds like a wus...

not the sound I thought would come out of his mouth.....

lost

[Mutley]

34. Irish

I could listen to someone call me all sorts of nasty names in an Irish accent, and I'd still be in love. :P

[Skittles]

37. Aussie men are AWESOME

I get calls from them at work and then we all try to talk like them - of course we sound ridiculous :D

[JTG of the PRB]

40. I will absolutely MELT for a beautiful woman with an Australian accent.

Scottish is a close second, followed by Irish.

[Mythsaje]

41. Irish and australian are close to tied, then scottish.

Several British accents also work for me.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

43. You people have good taste in

accents....LOL

[Mythsaje]

44. Well, speaking for myself, it's from having the least noticable

American regional accent.

Northwesterners don't really have one at all.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

45. Im from

Noo Yawk, I cant get away from my accent..LOL

[Mythsaje]

46. It's funny

but the upstate New Yorkers don't have that much of one, at least not compared to NYC residents.

[Esra Star]

53. .

:rofl:

[Mythsaje]

54. That's what I've been told, anyway.

:shrug:

It's not as though people hear us speak and say "hey, you're from Washington, aren't you?"

I've traveled all over the country and the best guess anyone could come up with was "west coast" and that was usually because there wasn't any other regional accent in play.

[deucemagnet]

47. Pirate!

Yarr! :P

[Wapsie B]

48. I think a woman with Southern accent is so sexy.

:loveya:

[Heidi]

49. Caspiarian.

[SKKY]

50. Canadian by a country mile...

I just love to hear a woman say, "What are you talking aboot?"

[BlueIris]

51. South African. nt

[regnaD kciN]

55. Even though I'm part-Celtic...

...and should therefore have gone with Scottish or Irish, it had to be English.

Although I must admit that I'm a sucker for almost any accent that clearly isn't Amurricun.

[TZ]

56. Australian without a doubt

Although the one Aussie I know from the internet has said that he sounds more English (regional accent). Go figure.
