People who change their accents.

He definitely deserves one..

Before his op it looked like he'd had enough over the years anyway :icon_mrgreen:

 

hmm, not everyone likes talking like a weegie. I can understand why

Gerard Butler's bad for sounding broadly Scottish 1 minute and then literally the next sentence he says is with a full on American accent. Is he not from * Paisley as well? :smiley-laughing002:

 

On that we can agree.

I've never changed my accent, if anything when I'm elsewhere in the UK it gets stronger, although I do tone it down when I'm abroad.

Although I work with a pair of Geordies and do a lot of work down there and after a week on site I find myself using their words and phrases but in my own accent. Even said 'Why, Aye' in the pub once, had to have a word with myself.

 

Remember watching James McAvoy in Shameless and couldnt beleive it when I found out he was from Glasgow, does a perfect english accent on screen.

 

We're being watered down, in 50 years time we'll be talking like them from Edinburgh.

40 years ago people used stuff like "scullery, lavy, loabie, donner" and that that have near disappeared.

Bet 50 years time we'll be callin pieces - sandwiches, wee - little and greetin - crying. "My little brother dropped his sandwiches and started crying".

 

"Your mum's a slag"



Funny as * coming from him :smiley-laughing002:

 

I can change my accent, its on and off

 

Sorry meant to quote Hibby's YouTube link there!

 

I don't really speak like I'm from...well...anywhere, I don't have a accent that you could tag to a particular town/city or even area. It's Scottish of course and I'll say "Aye, naw, wee etc etc" most of the generally scottish slang. But I think that'll always be there, maybe some more traditional words will disappear. There will certainly still be some slang in 50 years.

I can assure you, when I have kids, they'll be getting a piece for there packed lunch, not a * sandwich :smiley-laughing002:

 

I've always called all of those in our household growing up..
Saying peices to my old dear infront of my pals used to draw some funny looks and another calling anything juice and coming in with a bottle of irn bru..
'I thought you wanted a juice mate?' 'Yeah a juice not fizzy'
Strange people,take it or leave it..

You'd end up * yourself and telling 'nancy boy' to do one :bbpd:

I feel your pain bro,it's probably theee worst accent in Scotland..

I hate the way dundonians say away..
Sounds 'ewaaaaa'Ye go..
Up there in march and it's the only thing I'm not looking forward too,being surrounded by that noise..

 

Introduce the word "ginger" to England not meaning hair colour but juice like coke/fanta/irn bru whatever.

 

Hold on I think that what I was meaning to say

 

He's a tim to boot!

 

Ill sound like someone from Alexandria for the rest of my life. It's not something you can change. If you can change your accent then you are a fake person. Thats pretty much that. You're * cringeworthy.

I run into polish people in Ireland who have Irish accents. They say they've only been there 4 or 8 years. I just think what the actual *.

 

Guy I work with does this when talking to clients...cringeworthy.

 

I know a guy who moved here as a 10 year old with a strong Yorkshire accent, 10 years later and he has a staunch Glasgow accent.

But then I also know a girl who moved here 10 years ago (also from Yorkshire strangely) and her accent is still Charles Green'd oot its nut.

 

Leave larssons team mate alone.:icon_mrgreen:
