Worst English language accent in the world

[Temah]

Hate having an Essex accent, not because if how it sounds but rather the social stereotypes that come with it.

 

[campofapproval]

the redneck voice, which is not just a "southern" american thing. david cross concurs:

even if there's some obscure european accent that's 10x shittier somehow, it could never be as prevalent as this the hick voice in the most populous english-speaking country in the world.

im not sure what accent it is, it may be Icelandic or something... but there is a commercial in my area, from my cable provider (Brighthouse), in which a woman from either Iceland or possibly somewhere in Scandinavia, is telling her story of learning English by watching Bay News 9.

i dunno why, but her accent was really irritating to me.

This has probably been done to death in the past but I'm some people will have had their rage renewed and there might even be some new users with fresh rage of their own. This is the internet after all.

So, what in your respectable opinions is the very worst accent to grace my mother tongue? You can stay general if you fancy it or you go down to the geographic specifics of town and the physiologic ones of gender. But no further really.

I think I am going to have go with Lancastrian (north west England), specifically Prestonian. I do really dislike a lot of the kinda cockney accents and southern USA but this one is ahful. Almost all others are fine like Irish accents, english as second language accents (even if incomprehensible) and the rest.

My coice is Lancastrian

I'm from North East England and not that well travelled.

Guess the joke's on me, I'm from Preston. (was born in Bristol but raised in Preston)
Can't say I really noticed we had an 'accent' to speak of, though I consider the nearby Wigan accent to be quite distinct.

Oh, and if by 'North East' you mean Yorkshire, get over yourself! Just because one of the best Wallace and Gromit gags to date is when they try and lob a bomb into Yorkshire doesn't give you cause to be a grump!

Either inner city or valley girl, which is just as well since the people who speak like that are generally just as annoying.

 

[legion431]

Hmm, no hate on us Aussies yet? I'm amazed.

What?! The Australian accent's probably the best!

YES! thank you very much mate.

OT. Inner city is definitely the worst.

Why does EVERY peasant in EVERY game with a fantasy setting have to speak in bloody Cockney by LAW!? It's the only thing I despised from the "Dragon Age" series... I don't have a problem with the accent per se... only after I spoke with a hundred million NPCs!

Also... Indian accent. Yeah. I can't help but cry "Stereotype!" everytime I hear it on TV.

And, since I'm Italian... I hate hearing my countrymen TRYING to speak english... seriously, Mario is not even close!

The chav accent.
The chav accent.
The flippin chav accent.
I will murder you chav accent people.
No I won't really, the accents just really annoying...
(though if you're asian with a chav accent, I would consider it)
Note: I am asian, I just find it insulting to our race if an asian talks with a chav accent.

Wot wot are you disrespektin me bruv, are you disrespeckting me?! I'll stab u up blud, my bruvva has a well fast car an he'll run you down bruv innit, u get me?!?

No, good sir, I do not. I do not get you at all.

But I applaud your decision to apply a £600 exhaust and £1000 wheels to your 12 year old Citroen Saxo, a very bold artistic statement.

Nah brah, you is way outta touch. No one ses bruv any more; all about the brah. Know what I'm saying?

Anyway brah, you know the pussy I pull in this machine? ' embarasss you son, that what it'd do.
[sub]Depressingly not ironic[/sub]

Good sir, are you insinuating that the eponymous chav does not have the most acute business sense that is widely available?

The worst bit is that you're right about the girls. It's as if they're being rewarded for praising some alternative nob-head deity.

But darn it if I don't prefer my women a little bit more brainy. Who could listen to a Chavette talk for more than 5 minutes without trying to throw themselves in front of a car?

Awesome. Great way of putting it, may have to steal it.

I live with my little brother who is self descriptively a chav and yeah, I comepletely agree. Girls he pulls are fit as fuck but if you have a conversation with one of 'em you end up regretting it, sure as hell.

You know, that feeling you get when you talk to someone who you are clearly smarter than? The awkwardness? The decision of whether to try and explain your point or just let it go?

OT: South African or Northern Irish; whingey American teen as well.

Umm, that'll be me then. Belfast accent all the way!

And yes I actually agree with you, there are degrees of the Northern Irish accent, some people get off quite lightly (Liam Neeson), some people are incomprehensible.

It's a bit different but I still pass as a mysterious Irish-type when talking to Americans.

I am German, I would say German accent.

 

[snowman6251]

I really hate the slow southern drawl. Also special mention goes out to England. I don't hate their accents or dialects but damn you guys say aluminum weirdly.

 

[Drakmeire]

cajun is the worst sounding accent I have ever heard.
first youtube clip for "cajun accent"
<youtube=KROX95_I2hM&NR>
what IS that? it keeps switching from sounding French, to Southern to Jamaican.
also for the title, What woman would find that sexy?

I'm sorry, it's Australia

You aren't thinking of the crocodile dundee accent (or the Simpsons episode one) are you? Because I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist. I know nobody who talks like that.

 

[Blackout62]

Inner-city. So annoying.

This. And its suburban imitations. And valley girl.

Fortunately, in California, we don't have much of an accent beside the standard american one, but we do have the worst slang ever.

That's what you think. I grew up in California, and any time I go somewhere beyond the rocky mountains, people always think I'm stoned because apparently I have the stereotypical "California speech pattern."

Ah the double edged sword of the California speech pattern. You either sound like Clint Eastwood or you sound like James Franco. Also I've lived in Northern California all my life and I've never even heard anyone actually say "hella" non-ironically.

What I do like the southern accent. I don't know why everyone else dislikes it but I've grown to enjoy even the rather hickish ones.

Brummies they always sound really stupid no matter what thet say.

Scousers, nothing personal against them I just find it difficult to comprehend what they're saying.

Being from merseyside I quite like my scouse accent but I have to agree that the stereotypical scouse accent is worse than a thousand cats stratching a chalk board.
