I grew up in the South and moved North. I now sound like I’m from the North, and pretty much only I can hear the occasional Southern accent and idiom in my speech. When I go back down south, there’s a definite regional accent, cadence, flow and idiom that I re-adopt almost immediately, especially with those who don’t know me well, so that I’m not so obviously an outsider. Even at that, my casual clothing, while almost declasse’ in the North, is considered “dressed up” city boy clothing down there. Funny how those regional things are so strong.
the southern accent on a woman is the most sexiest accent in the world I think.
My wife is from Boston but I got her down here and hopefully soon she looses that Boston accent and gets that beautiful southern drawl
