    Default how do Folks Talk Where You're From? (Baltimore Accent)

    For the record I only have a slight Baltimore accent.

    My father on the other hand...

    zink = sink
    coberaider = carburetor
    extrasize = exercise
    bum = bomb
    anttracks = anthrax

    I'm not as country as this guy, but it's hard not to talk this way when you live in Western Kentucky. He lives about fifteen minutes from me - I love how people underestimate a person with a southern accent. Keep on thinking we're stupid because of the way we talk. It makes it easier for us to take you to the cleaners

    Almost everyone I know has an accent, except the people who live where I do, (Unless they are originally from somewheres else...)

    Don't have an accent in my area, unless you're someone that moved from an area that you had one in.

    I don't have much of an accent. Well, that is a lie as everyone has an accent of some kind, but I don't really have a distinctive regional accent. I spent too much of my childhood moving region to region to ever get set into talking a set way. I suppose if anything my accent is more RP (recieved pronunciation) than anything else. My parents both have distinctive Sussex accents whilst my sister has a Yorkshire inflection. I don't have either but sometimes find my accent responding to whoever I am conversing with at the time.

    I honestly never thought I had an accent, until just recently, and that everyone else did. As I have started to meet people from other places in the last year, them laughing at me while I talked and calling me a Yooper, well, that was the first tip off I might in fact have a bit of one.
