I do not understand this analogy.When they can't say some of the most basic words and phrases without butchering them like a serial killer on crack

SUNDEE MONDEE TUESDEE WEDNESDEE THURSDEE FRIDEE SATURDEE
Those I get, southern accents tend to slip into those too, but "warsh"? How do you get "warsh" out of wash?

I catch myself doing that day of the week thing in my head a lot. It's weird to think of people just saying it like it's normal, but a ton of people do it, especially in small towns.
"Geezey Christmas, I took my car out for a warsh on Thursdee and it got rained on!"
So I'm just going to assume I have an Australian accent, but I haven't been to another English speaking country for someone to tell me "Woah you have an accent!" A chick from New Zealand bagged out my accent once. She's the one talking! NZ accents irritate me a bit. i = e and e = i , so, six = sex and sex = six, it's confusing.
there's no I in team, but there is in pie, as in meat pie, and meat is an anogram of team
Yes you do.I'm from California, we don't have accents.
I live in the South, but I (thankfully) lack a Southern accent. I sound Midwestern, which is your basic American accent.
That's silly, of course we do!!! We have Californian accents!!!I'm from California, we don't have accents.
I heard once that the "r" comes from New Yorkers, what happens is when they speak the "r" gets launched into the atmosphere (which is why they never pronounce the "r" when they speak) and then rains down on West Virginia and ends up in words like wash!

Yeah, southern accent. I know what you're thinking but it's not the terrible deep south accent, and furthermore it only shows itself when I'm particularly angry.
And I've been known to fake a pretty good Indian accent
Because I'm one hell of a butler.
The only accent which has ever made me cringe was [this] horrid imitation of an American accent. Listening to the actress throughout the show drew me close to suicide. Perhaps it struck too close to home?
That is pretty terrible.
I had a woman at Dillards ask me where I was from once. Like I wasn't from a town two hours away.
More often than an accent, peculiar turns of phrase will crop up. Espeeeeeeeeeeecially ones my dad used when he was growing up.
(this is for you stu)
(see if you can guess who this is ;D)
Jimmadon! Well, my lands; I'll tell you what. We went on up All. The. Way to Missoura with Keithallen and them, and would you believe it? etc...
And if you'll excuse me, I've go to go be fixing me some hootenanny; It's going to be larruping.
Toooo easy!
now record yourself trying to emulate it
I don't really hear it myself, so you'll have to ask Paul or the other halo group.
I too have a British accent.
Some people think because I'm from London my accent is cockney but having 1) lived here all my life and 2) lived in East London in a cockney area I can assure you, I don't have a cockney accent, not even close. That doesn't mean I can't falsify the cockney accent to a degree. Then again my accent isn't even too similar to my local area. As Paul said every town has it's own sort of accent and this is true among the outer suburbs of major cities too. Considering Barnet where I am from (an outer north London suburb) has a population which mostly derives from an East London culture the town does have a cockney hint to it in how the local born and raised people tend to speak. I am constantly asked in my home town where I am from because I don't speak with the local accent. Often I am met with disbelief when people hear that I am as local as they are.
As for accents I can fake?
Well because as a child I went through around 7 years of speech therapy to help correct a development issue due to major problems with my hearing I technically dumb down my own accent. I can and should speak what we Brits affectionately term "Queen's English" which is the stiff upper lip posh voice you often heard Pierce Brosnan use as James Bond.
I can also fake a pretty good American accent though often people aren't sure what part of the states it's from.
I can do Irish well enough to fool the Irish.
I can speak in a semi-convincing French accent mostly because I learnt French in school and my speech therapy experiences means I have quite the talent for picking up and speaking in an accent.
I have tried to impersonate many different accents over the years for fun mostly some I'm better at then others
