    He could call me ma'am any time... I'd rather he didn't... but I wouldn't kick him out of bed for it :)

    Any other American think Matthew McCon has an accent? I didn't think he did.
    I love to turn you on

    I'm in the 'sucker for an Irish accent' camp :o
    In my experience, Irish men are sooooooooo smooth and I fall for it ever time - same guys, different accent, I'm pretty certain I would have told them to jog on!

    Have ya SEEN those arms of his??? :eek: :o sorry!

    lol, Rabbit, Irish men smooth????? :D:D That's the funniest thing I may have ever heard. I'm just picturing American women drooling over a dundalk accent (sorry Al, YOU don't have it) and thinking it's smooth. :D

    The ones that I met were - honest!! Even now, it makes me cringe thinking of the lines I fell for... :o
    They both happen to be from Dublin if that makes it more believable! :D

    :D:D that just makes it even funnier... now I've a picture of a couple of scumbag junkies being 'smooth' :D sorry... but see, it really IS amazing what an accent can do.

    I got back home thinking I was still hot and asking everyone for lighters wondering why they were rolling their eyes, lending me the lighter and getting away as quickly as they could whilst I'm standing there fluttering my eyelashes :D

    Just kidding... of course :o

    well I probably DID have a bit more 'confidence' once I got back... but I soon got over that when I reminded myself that everyone has an Irish accent here :(

    No you're not :p Irish guys are hilarious... sorry no offense... but I can't get chatted up anyway without laughing. It's usually following SOME kinda script.

    :o I know... shameful! :D

    I love a good Southern US accent too... just don't call me ma'am please :eek: wtf's THAT about?
    Ma'am is used to be polite and show respect. It's not meant to be offensive.

    I guess it might sound a little bit too formal for some people. If I was a girl I'm sure I'd appreciate it more than Helen though.

    see, that's the thing...in the South it's not all that formal...it's just our colloquialism

    some places in the South might not use ma'am all that much, but it's never a surprise to hear it

    yet, in some places, you actually offend them if you don't use ma'am

    and Hitch-Hiker, if you came down here, you'd get your fair share of 'sirs'

    and just think, if that show was in Atlanta or somewhere else in the South, you wouldn't have been able to stand it then.....

    yeah my NY accent doesn't get me shit, especially when i greet people with "how the fuck you doing" ......
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....
  • Steve DunneSteve Dunne Posts: 4,965
    I believe there are many different accents in the Northeast US...very definitive...so I can now I can see how the Irish have different ones.

    Here was have, in no particular order, and this is not a knock on any of them...

    New Yourk
    Lawng Ilinda
    Bahstin/New Hampsha
    Wusta
    Prawvidence
    New JERsey/Philadelphia/Delmarva (heavy on the 'Rs' and 'Os')
    I love to turn you on

    Yes he does! And I'm a sucker for it! :D Mmm, between him and Sawyer...I'm also a big fan of their abs. Yum!

    As for accents, I also like Irish, but my fav is Scottish; I also like English. I don't know about Welsh; my good friend is a Welshie but also a girl and I've never heard a male Welsh person speak (except for Tom Jones, but that doesn't count!). South African is nice; I also really like Australian. :) For US accents; I'm not sure which I like other than listening to Sawyer and Matt McCon. I'm partial to the standard American accent (there was a post on here earlier about the diff US accents).
