I tend to do horrible English and Aussie accents. Sayings gleaned from BBC America. Usually taken completely out of context as I hav e no clear reference points having never lived nor visited either country.
I also go more Pennsylvania Dutch, smattering in words heard as a small child from my grandparents on my Mom's side. Both were firmly rooted in the farm life in York county.
Words like , scooch, noche, rutsh, kutz, doplich or doppy for short, piddle, spritzing and finally Schnickelfritz. When I utter these words outside of my home area people look at me as if I'd grown a second head.
To further inform.
Scooch over and make some room for me on the bench. --Move
Stop nochcing everything in the store. ( my mom used this one alot when my twin brother and I went anywhere with her)--Touching
Quit rutshing around, we're in church.--squirm
He drank so much he kutzed.-- anyone not get this one?
He's a doplich person. --clumsy

Well you've got quite the smattering there! So much sounds like Yiddish. Not surprising considering the common Germanic origins.Patchez wrote:I tend to do horrible English and Aussie accents.

I love sprinkling my English with words from other languages - I include English English in that - and I know damned well they do - it makes for even more interesting conversation. Hmmmm.... which might bring me to another thread creation...

Re: Which accent(s) do you assume whilst soused?
I have a very pronounced internet messageboard accent that really comes out when I am intoxicated.

Re: Which accent(s) do you assume whilst soused?
Mine depends on who I'm taking the piss out of and where I am. Like every time I get muntered in Japan I wind up doing a Sean Connery voice. Not the accent but the speech impediment.
I also enjoy singing songs in a very broad West Country accent. YouTube search "wurzels ruby" or "wurzels common people". You'll thank me later.
As well as doing a cover version of the most spiff-tastic Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer's "Chap-hop history"

Apparently this is how I sound. And also apparently, everything is funny to me.

Re: Which accent(s) do you assume whilst soused?
Well, apparently, I have multiple personality voice disorder. I have been asked about my accent by people I just met. My accent? I am living in California, and I think I have a very bland White girl Orange County way of speaking.
But, I sometimes on purpose, sometimes accidentaly, I do strange versions of Irish, Valley Girl, Southern/Texan twang, Whaatraysh (Yew know, the county come'n took 'way maa keeds, ah hayat wayn they doo thet) sexy throaty movie girl, WB cartoon character, etc. Maybe I should have been a movie voice character. All I know is, I make my grandkids laugh so much they have to go and pee. So I got that goin' fer me.
and this is kind of weird because my throat went south on me about thirty years ago, and I had five or six surgeries on it, back in the seventies and eighties.
Oh, but this happens when I haven't had anything to drink.
