Abrasive means rough, not good or bad. Just like some people have gravely voices. Their voice might be described as 'gritty'. Some make careers out of it, like Joe Cocker.



I hear what you're saying, but "abrasive" will always have negative connotations to me. It means something that gets on someone's nerves.

Anyway that's what it means to me, in my lexicon. Which I'm sure is limited.

Interesting discussion. It's so easy to associate "types" with accents. I feel like my (non?) accent makes me even more invisible.

It's funny some people here in MN say I am truly a Minnesotan because of how thick my O's are. Like minnesoooooota. LOL but others don't point it out.

I think a lot of it depends on if I'm tired or not.

I see what you are saying. Fran Drescher could be an example of an abrasive voice as it plays on people's nerves but I love her. Not all abrasive things are rejected.



I just completely disagreed with the oppressive comment.

You are the mistress of your own destiny. Want to be seen? Then show us you! You're not invisible. :)

southern slang, yes ma'am

imperfect_cupcake 02-01-2015 06:25 PM
Lol.... "Bovvard" = "bothered"

It's confused a bit because she is using south London accent and slang to pronounce Elizabethian terms. Which I find rather clever and amusing.

Also, her smart ass humour has me in stitches. Catherine Tate (the comedian who plays her) cracks me up.

THANK YOU!!!

I kept playing it over and still couldn't get that part.

I'm not one for 'British' humour as a general rule....and I could only watch a few seconds of Daktari's clip (WTF was THAT?)....but I did like the Doctor Who clip. Except I wanted to smack her on the ass but that probably had nothing to do with her accent.

:eyebat:

Yeah, what she is doing is called "taking the piss" which is teasing (sassy/smart ass) and I *love* that kind of playful stuff. As the audience did, obviously.

Quoting perfecte Shakespeare and then slapping the desk and saying "bite me, alien boy!" Is beautiful.

Admittedly, I have a bit of Lauren in me. Especially as a sub ;)

Gemme, when you say "us" it makes me think you're saying there's an "us" and a "me."

I don't feel that way. Just saying!

I do live in a borough of NYC, but I'm surrounded by so many accents. I think people move so much, the accents we have are kind of merging. A theory anyway.

Absolutely! I spent more than 2 decades in FL and that's where everyone from the PNWers to the NEasters comes to retire and hang out. It's a giant melting pot of accents, dialects and speech anomalies.

That's not the question you should be asking.

What do YOU want to show others?

And then do it!

I get told by many folks who I just meet or talk to over the phone that I have twang, when I talk.

IDK I think I sound just fine! lol

Gemme 02-02-2015 08:04 PM
I think we should all get on the phone and see who has the strongest accent out of the bunch.

In order to properly assess your accent, we will need a short video of you singing "Mary Had A Little Lamb." :cheesy:

I have a Midwestern accent being born in Cornhusker land. We have our own language and words. When I was younger I used the word "pop" now living in CO and FL I say "soda" Most times I say "you guys" sometimes you may find me saying "y'all"

ruby_woo 02-03-2015 12:17 AM
Depends who you ask. I was raised in Cincinnati, but currently live in Vancouver, British Columbia. Some people here in Vancouver tell me I can be a bit twangy, while my dad has informed that I'm "starting to talk like a damn Canuck."

At this point, most people just assume I'm from Alberta.
