Do You Have Countrymen With Crazy Accents? / myLot

Was my homie in the Marines and till this day how much of a southern accent he has is crazy to me. He was born in Kentucky but he did one of those Facebook live videos and listening to him talk was so funny. I am like thanks, now I am going to be trying to talk like that all day. You all, get off my pouch and you best leave that beer. People say I have a country accent which sounds funny In California. I was born in Missouri and do admit having a attraction to outback places. Maybe is why I talk the way I do, but that guy. You go holy crap that accent is so strong.

There are many dialects here that sometimes it is confusing with the different ways in pronouncing the words. There is a province that says buy-see-col instead of bicycle. Another is twe-let for toilet.

Indeed, sometimes people think they are even me not as smart because the way we talk. I always found it cool. I like people who are just themselves and get tired of people conforming to crap that does no good. Conform to crap that makes you better off not something that hinders you. Listening to him talk was fresh breath of air. Of course, I gave him hell like any good friend does.

Sometimes it is hard to understand someone from a different area than what you live.

I always understood him fine but the deepness of his southern accent is crazy. They speak slower so I guess maybe part of it, Now if he were to speak all fast I would be like huh, I speak fast because hate talking. Now I get why everyone goes what did you say?

We have many different dialects in Italy, if someone from the south speaks his dialect I cannot understand a word.

Yeah, that is pretty good I can never understand to even spell it like that. I have heard of doog before. haha. Australia was like that. Some you almost thought were American with how lack of an accent there was and others were like I did not understand a word they just said.
