(Also I understand German fine but I don't have enough occasions to speak it, it's so rusty the words just won't come out of my mouth).

"This is shit." Is one of my favourite thing to hear in a French accent.
The disgust for the subject at hand somehow becomes an active indifference. It's a beautiful thing to witnes.

I like talking in my shit yardie/Caribbean accent around the house:
I'm so bad at it, it pains my wife to hear it.

If you have a real Caribbean accent though, you are fucking rad and I am mad jealous.
Selectah.

:lol:

Despite growing up within half an hour of the city, I have almost no accent whatsoever. Like, to the extent that I've been called a liar for saying I grew up near Boston. It's probably the thing I'm second most thankful to my parents for, with the first being their DNA.

I used to be (barely) conversational in French, but now I could probably only fake an accent after a couple drinks. NATO bases are tops for keeping your language skills sharp. YMMV. My current project is Norwegian, but I should probably just be fixing my French.

Upspeak & vocal fry are unflattering af. :erm:

Fav foreign accents: Russian, Spanish, French, (RP) English, Greek, Romanian, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Irish & Italian
Fav North American: Brooklyn, Southie, Montreal, Creole, Memphis, Yukon, Chinatown Engrish, Little Havana Es-panglish, East Texan+Kentucky+Ohio in general

Honorable mentions to Icelandic, Jamaican, Dutch, Israeli & Norwegian accents.
Miami English, thank you very much. :lol:

Yeah no but like, there's a lot of thing that annoy me bout my native accent. I'm joking but seriously, there's a lot of wasted words. Irregardless, I am learning to be comfortable with it even if it makes me look like sooper reffy and unprofessional elsewhere. :idk:

I will never say the phrase "eating shit" seriously when referring to hanging out with someone, however. Fuck that.
