foxyroxy20 Posted December 19 Report Share Posted December 19 lol I've done that too. Back in april i went down to florida and I met lots of ppl from different countries. We would all hang out n shit like everynight, and i would catch myself imitating their accent even when i wouldnt be around them. Like right after I came back to ny I caught myself talking in a british accent and I was like wtf is wrong with me? lol.... I thought it was weird. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tastyt Posted December 19 Report Share Posted December 19 Ok, let's see what accents Tasty has lurking inside her:If I spend too much time with the family, the Lawngislander in me sometimes comes out to playIf I'm tired burnt or sometimes fucked up a New Orleans drawl may emerge- it's easier when the words are said slowly and several syllables are blended into oneMy years in Carroll Gardens instilled a Brooklyn-bred Italian in there somewhere- fuggedaboudit!And every so often, although not so frequently, a thug even emerges- so wut up yo!

urallge Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 When I went to Jamaica for Spring Break I would always be saying Yaah Mon. It continued to happen when I came home but as the tan left my body so did the accent. Funny shit though.Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Hell yeah I catch myself all the time doing that... I get so annoid... however the most irritating shit is when someone brings a baby into room everyone turns into a moron... and they talk like idiots... Talk to the kid normal hes gonna understand whether you have that stupid baby accent or not... lol its funny then gets irritating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saigray Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Holy shit, i do this in so many forms, it's like a past-time and a habit rolled into one. There are varying degrees, like the occasional words that you only say in accent (precisely), the full phrases (nice one bruva), the brit/aussie/scott slang (get fucked mate) that I love to use....But the real fun starts when you just decide to BE british for the evening! I did this all the time when I was in Italy, since I found the men were harshest on American girls. So me and my friend would become Sarah and Charlotte from Soho, Brighton, Dabblederry, fill in a UK locale, on holiday from Uni, and off we'd go...whoever could last the longest/fool actual brits would win!Another variation of this trend is throwing in one or two words from other languages, even though u can't speak them...I say "Danke" instead of thanks all the time and "Cosa?" instead of what?...truly obnoxious habits, especially since not tons of ppl know German and Italian, including me, so it just confuses them. And yet, they are so fun to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuturephunk Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Originally posted by clubkat . . . OK SO....AM I THE ONLY FREAK?::say yes and ill smack your ass:: No, in fact your'e not . . . I got it worse with the accents then you:Some History :My dad is a Jewish ex NY cop from the Bronx, My mother is an Italian School Teacher from New Rochelle AND . . I lived down in Florida for 10 years, so depending on the time of day, what situation I'm in and what my mood is like I can sound perfectly like one of the following :A New York Jew,A New York Italian,A good ole boy from the south,A nasty Chicagoan,OR . . a neutral accented white boy from the Suburbs . . . . In short, I'm a fucking cartoon character . . . . I do have an uncanny ability to imitate certain people though . . It depends on how distinctively the person talks, the heavier the accent, the better I can usually immitate it . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatman Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Originally posted by phuturephunk I do have an uncanny ability to imitate certain people though . . It depends on how distinctively the person talks, the heavier the accent, the better I can usually immitate it . . haha...that's me...although i think humans by nature have a propensity to do this...we are natural born immitators...i also think its hilarious when we think a foreigner will understand us better when we speak our english with an accent - as blowflyii stated...i can do it all: ny, souther, italian, greek, spanish, irish, scottish (sometimes), hindu, etc. but the hardest and my favorite was a friend of mine that was Greek but born and raised in South Africa...now that was a tough nut to crack...the accent that is...

momotx Posted December 21 Report Share Posted December 21 growing up, my folks spoke english to me at home, but w/ a filipino accent. it's funny, but i speak english w/ an americanized accent on a normal basis (whatever that means), but as soon as i visit my parents and set foot into the house, i start speaking english w/ a HEAVY filipino accent, then it goes away when i leave again - go figurei also grew up in a black neighborhood, so sometimes the sistah in me comes out - LOLoh, yeah...and down here we say ya'll...
