    Default Talkin' the talk

    I've decided to become a pimp. Consider: All I need to find are some skanky women, then find some customers - not hard given that the population of the world is actually beneath much of Eyes On.

    So I've got my pimp hat. My pimp cane. My pimp strut, my pimp swagger, and my pimp slap. I've got my pimp chauvinism, my pimp arrogance, and my pimp purple suit/cloak combo.

    What I don't have is my pimp talk. I need to affect a far better accent than the one I have (i.e. any accent, at all, other than one from Great Britain). I sound like a commoner with all the education, tolerance, and ambition of a soccer thug. This will not do.

    In this thread we shall discuss our accent, accents we like, and accents we dislike. Anyone who likes any kind of British accent except for Hugh Laurie's gets an automatic fail!

    Edit: Any hobags want to have theyselves a pimp, PM me.

    Russian accents are awesome. Australian accents are not.

    I think British accents are swoon-worthy, shut up. :kaoangry: Also, your accent doesn't even sound that British. You sound half American. Your accent needs to sound more Brit. >:[

    I have the typical "Noo Yoikah" accent in which I say "dawg" "cawfee" "awwwringe", etc.

    My favorite accents are Northern British, Boston, Noo Yoikah, Russian (mmmm tATu) and Italian. :3

    I like accents. I can slip easily into quite a few, which is nice. I like showing off by saying a few sentences, changing the accent every 10 or so words.

    being from upstate new york, i obviously have no accent whatsoever and my speech is perfect.

    i enjoy a new england accent if it's ridiculous. and a cockney accent.

    i enjoy making fun of the way my friends say certain words, and regional dialects. but only in jest, i mean no ill will.

    Real New Yorkers have an accent. Let's brawl.

    I like accents in general because they show where people come from. Some sound better/cooler than others, though.

    Apparently I have a bit of a Boston accent. (Which is wierd considering I grew up in Idaho.)

    Not a fan of southern accents, and only an occasional british girl sounds cute. Most of the time its just a bit annoying. (Don't worry smitten, you're not an annoying one.)

    A bit of an asian accent is nice, though not to heavy. same with the Irish and Russian.

    Listen to Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle a couple of times and you'll be sorted.

    As for the accents, nothing beats the Welsh.

    ughhh, why? xD

    I'm from St Helens, which is Northwest England and we all sound disgusting. I know one person who has a really thick St Helens tongue and to him I am "ehhhhmeh". It makes me lul xD

    I like Scandinavian and Finnish accents, they're just so well-spoken and <3

    Also, you're forgetting the advantage of a ridiculously fitting pimp name. 'Huxley' was obviously meant to be a name feared by all whores.
