Your Not Supposed To Say That Here

[Supreme Unleaded]

I live in America and yet I use alot of "other country talk" as others call it. The fact of the matter is I'm American and have never left the country for a long period of time. What i mean is I say Bonnet and Boot instead of hood and trunk, rubbish insted of crap, zut instead of shit (its French). Aparently I should live in the UK or something.

So i was wondering if any of the Escapist don't speak the way your supposed to where you live, or if you know somone that does.

only when imitating a funny accent

I though America didn't have an assigned language?

And no I don't use slang from other countries maybe the odd word from other countries but not often.

 

[J-Alfred]

I say 'bloody' alot, as in 'bloody hell'. people are creeped out by this, as they think I have a fixation with blood. Apparently these bloody blokes are bloody bleeding dense.

oh, by the way, I also use alot of british talk in my everyday life. So you are not alone.

 

[Xorghul]

Does it really matter?

 

[PunchClockVillain]

After watching too much Monty Python, I tend to use "oh bloody hell" a lot and have gotten various confused looks. People in the midwest just don't know good comedy.

I often speak in a slightly English accent, or at least put English streses on certain words. "Fuck off" is my favorite phraze and almost always say it with in English accent.

No. No it doesn't.

OT: I tend to have a bit of a British style lingo.

Welcome to the Escapist.

Watch for the falling hammers and avoid Halo, religion, American politics, and communism threads.

I sometimes flip between English and American slang e.g calling trousers 'pants' and the bonnet the 'hood', just to confuse people. And sometimes I slip in a few French words as well like 'merde'.

lol, England has apparently only got 1 accent.

 

[Froobyx]

I used to live down south, originally from Yorkshire though.

So where everyone thinks they're talking proper and I'm the odd one out not adding extra R's in words that don't need them.

Bath and Barth being the example.
Though they still spelt it bath.

Thanks.
I've browsed around the site for a few months and decided to join. Also noted to avoid being the first person to comment on a new ZP video.

Wrong. You tend a vary wide variety depending on the location which can range from heavy to light Irish, English, and Scotish accents.

You can comment first, just don't say first or comment before you've finished watching it, if you skip the start and end then I suggest you wait a bit longer to be sure

Not to mention the diffent accents within thosee accents, since if you go to a city then go to one close to it they will most likely have a completely different accent from each other.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

I often do this too, as well as using words my other friends deem too big or complicated (and I don't mean huge or odd words either, things like tedious and reciprocate). Also, I've noticed my accent flip flops depending on what I'm saying, not dramatically of course, but my pronunciation varies enough that it's noticeable. (to me at least) I guess it's just how I am though, if I hear something I like such as a word or a certain pronunciation of a word, I start using it, which explains my odd vocabulary I guess. But yeah, you're not alone.

 

[Zetsubou]

I tend to say bloody hell and shite. That's really about it.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

I add',neh?' to the end of my questions. It's like the Canadian ',eh?' and the whole french thing of saying ',no?' combined. Thank you Enders Game for adding to my vocabulary with this T_T

I also say 'methinks' . People think I'm weird for that one..
