I loved Jessica Simpsons in The Dukes of Hazard... |

| I have a different accent from the dominant one in the region where I grew up, probably because my parents had lived elsewhere most of their lives. |

| Southern accents only sound sexy if they're being by spoken by someone who already is sexy. It's a complete farce. Throw that exact same voice on an ugly chick and you will completely change your mind. |

I know they're different, I was making a funny. Hence the video of a Kiwi doing a commercial on American TV for an Australian-themed restaurant. :P |

That goes for any accent...
I LOVE British accents but if the chick's gross, the accent doesn't matter... |

Southern accents spoken by an otherwise-hot-when-quiet girl de-sexify her instantly. There isn't a quicker turn-off in the world, in my humble opinion. |

I think you may be right on that.
Also: cajun accents. While I don't find them sexy per se, I do think that kind of accent is very interesting to hear. Maybe that's why I like listening to James Carville whenever he's on tv. |

Ugh. Probably my least favorite word to hear people say. "She's hella hot"... "that party was hella fun". So terrible. Awful. |

| southern US accents are terrible to me, so are a lot of pronounced canadian accents. however i think that everywhere in north america, most educated people have a more or less "neutral" california accent (which i think i have myself) while the local working class accent can be extreme and vary from region to region. |

true i have a dull newscaster-esque "accent" although the positive is that it's pretty easy for everyone to understand what i'm saying...god help foreigners having a conversation with people from chicago or southie in boston. |

:haha: I love how passionate you are about your distaste for the word.
I have a list somewhere of all the "Americanisms" or sayings that cause untold irritation. There are so many.. >.<
