Baahstin?
Tennessee and Texas sound a lot alike.
Baaaastahn
I personally detest the Boston accent.
New England accents are the very definition of snobbish liberalism.
They can go to hell.
Nails on a chalkboard.
As a Bronxite transplant to lawn-guy-land I take umbrage of giving those who pock the cah in havad yad any credence for their foul language.
Fughetaboutit.
The least sexiest?
If Boston’s accent is so attractive, why don’t any Boston enemediot newsreaders have one?
The beautiful and sophisticated Pittsburgh accent was rated low. So here’s my message to the survey people: “Ats stupid. Yinz guys are a buncha jag offs.”
Feh. A boston accent is a minus 1 or 2. Oral was invented so as to not hear the Boston accent.
The correct answer is South Carolina or Georgia.
Boston? Seriously, Boston accents rank right down there with New York and New Jersey. Midwest (Chicago/Wisconsin) is pretty annoying as well. I dig Sarah Palin but I can’t listen to her for long stretches.
I’ve yet to hear a pleasant east or northeast accent. To my California-raised ears, they are like listening to nails across chalkboard, they mangle the language so much.
I remember having a Bostonian in an English class once, who was one of those people who had an opinion on everything and was quick to share it. Every time she opened her mouth, I was stunned at the new and inventive ways she found to butcher even the simplest and most innocent of words. She verged on incomprehensibility.
I moved from Boston to TX and I am always hearing “I love your accent!
“Long Island came last on the survey, followed by New Jersey and Minnesota”
The Baaaahstahn accent is THE most revolting in the entire English speaking world. It makes you want to vomit every time you hear it.
Oh by the way......how does a Mississippi accent differ from an Alabama accent?
What is a “Florida accent”? Having been born and raised in Florida I’d love to find out what that is.
“Southern Ohioan”???? What kind of accent is that? Silly me, I’ve never been.able to pick them out from Northern Ohioan.....which come to think of it, is awfully hard to distinguish from much of the rest of the Midwest other than maybe rural Minnesota.
Cincinnati has an unsexy accent? The Bearcats will be devastated to hear it. Ummmm what exactly is a Cincinnati accent????
This poll is ridiculous crap. Most of these “accents” don’t exist or are indistinguishable from the broader regional accents.
Can’t stand the Bawwwwwston accent.
That Welsh accent of Tom Ellis who plays lead on the show Lucifer, is a pretty sexy sound. IMHO.
