Which accent(s) do you assume whilst soused?

[NYDingbat]

If any? Is it intentional? Is it some weird spontaneous speech impediment - a vestige of a language you took in high school or Finnish? In case I have to be clear, this includes our Euro and beyond brethren - buncha actors have changed their accents here to an American one for the purpose of a show - Rick in Walking Dead, Bill and Jason in Walking Dead, Brody in Homeland, House in House - maybe you fellas can get laid even without that charming English, Irish or Australian accent.

I'll start it off - those around me tell me I've gone from sounding like my family in County Kerry, Ireland, to Boozie en Francais, to Bundy quite dirtais. So Farming Irish, Brave Boozie French, Mad Englishman. Sometimes within the hour.

To all who have the gall to remember if we've done this before - I bloody well know we've done this before (?) but there are new people on our lovely board and they, like myself, may not live long enough to sift through all the genius we've spouted over the years so why not just resurrect it - maybe we'll get a new accent. The Mars rover has been deployed a while now...

when I lived in NYC, I always assumed I could speak Spanish to car service drivers. not the case..i took French in high school. (don't really know that either.) ;)

Gypsy cab drivers are the aliens from Men In Black - say whatever the fuck ya want, they'll get ya there - including Pluto. They've got voice translator chips in their skulls or something, they speak English, Spanish and Drunkard - even if you mix the three - which I do A LOT

[Bur]

Finnish accent, little scottish expressions mixed in and over usage of "ain't" and "fucking awesome". Will get further change look in to these matters as we will go in middle of nowhere with Vietnamese, Chinese, Hungarian and buncha Finnish folks. English will be the medium of communication thus in our Pagan Rituals.

Edit: And we are off to the wild, pocket whisky shall serve me well for the hour and half of drive ahead.

My accent becomes more and more common (so my mum says) the drunker I get. I go from person with a mild south-eastern accent - that's basically London for you Johnny foreigners - to Dickensian pickpocket remarkably quickly. I have also been mistaken for an Australian by posh people.

Depending upon what I drink, either unintelligible or Vulcan.

[kowalski]

Usually just my generic North West England accent but slowed down. I can do a good scouse accent when I'm drunk, and I love trying to impress strange women at bars with a smattering of French :-)

[One for the Frog]

Depending upon what I drink, either unintelligible or Vulcan.

Sometimes just plain none.

OK, you can tell me mine, (having the unlucky experience).

[Mr. Viking]

I sometimes sound more south dublin when I'm shouting, which I do more of when I'm drunk. Either that or I sometimes start with the lisburn accent (that's a grotty satelite town south of Belfast where I went to school). Never as badly as my brother though

...you can tell me mine, (having the unlucky experience).

Hardly noticeable, my dear Ms Tepes...

[Shane-O-Matic]

I used to become very Irish when drunk. I spoke with an Irish accent as a wee boy, so it makes some sense.

I've been told that I sound Welsh at times. Can't disprove it.

[sloweducation]

Always revert to upper Midwest, like Fargo but with less wood chippers.

[steved2112]

My guttural Phully-area accent stays firmly in place, although the Sowth Jurzee strain of it has a little more twang, so that's probably filtered in over the last eight years.

[Frankennietzsche]

People tell me that I sound more and more like Yul Brenner the more I drink.

You are a kind and also pleasing-to-the-eye lass, and here are solid thanks to you for your invitation to us newbies for participation in this interesting query.

For some odd reason, and as the Surreal fellow once noted (paraphrasing here), "Why is it that folks seem to feel the need to write in a voice with an accent from the British Isles?"

(Forgive this Newbie for describing Scotland, Wales, and Ireland as being British Isles)

My own and often state of inebriation lends me no chance to speak in a manner that has such rich heritage and evocation.

I just get more Down-Eastern.

"Yup, chummy, don't bogart that handle, or I'll chum ya to them lobstahs for the kitchen in my traps..."


However, when I write here, I tend to fall back on my schooling, and that includes the language I pursue in enjoyment. It has been named "English," after all.

Cheers
