Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Jis tawk Georgie tawk.

Bred, Born, Raised (reared) Lived, Most likely Die, Georgia.

Had some relatives moved to Idaho . . . They called a creek a "crick."

I'm like everyone else. I don't have an accent. But I had a hard time ordering a cheeseburger in Boston.
In reality, I'm just pure Okie. (But get me mad and a cross of southern and redneck sure comes through!)

Nobody else here from Chicago? (shickaga) Just hand me the garajkies and we'll go get two or tree pops and a polish wit fries at dat place over der. We can eat 'em in the frunchroom. And shut da lite on da way out.

Mine is mostly western from being raised in the Northwest. However if I get tired or have a few, I slip into a more southern accent. I can only attribute this as growing up with a Georgian best friend and hanging out with the southern crews when I was in the Service.

A fun side note is that my wife can do 31 accents from the last count and speaks mostly in a western accent.

SHIH KAHHHH GOE?

im in SE wisconsin -- an accent a little closer to you than most of my cheese head compatriots. but i thought the chicago accent was polish anyway. :p

I guess it depends on what part of Chicago. Down around the Bridgeport area ya got alot of Irish, near the UofI circle ya got yer Italians. I came from the nort side where there were alot of Germans. And yeah, my relatives are Polish too. Sheboyganers (Sheboganese?) have a pretty distinctive way of talking too, doncha know?

I once thought that foreigners could not tell the difference between American and Canadian accents, but when I was in England, when I was frequently asked what part of Canada I was from. I don't wear clothes with text logos and while I may have had an Ottawa Valley accent when I was younger, I don't consider it that unique. go figger

Don't you mean "Go figger Eay' "
!

I checked Western, but didn't know that was an accent...
Only thought Southerner, New Yorker & New Englander were...
