My favorite as well. If it is a dying one, it's a shame...but I do hear it from the natives of South Carolina, Georgia mostly and a little bit from parts of Alabama.

I haven't heard it from anyone under 40 that wasn't doing it intentionally.

ETA: I say some words with a soft 'r', but others with a hard 'r'. I blame having families from opposite sides of the state.

Irish women

they brought the question as statement to the USA

its weak

rising inflection at the end of sentence, turned into a question, when its actually a statement

It's incredibly sexy.

But that apparently works both ways. My cousin learned to do an Aussie accent. He'd use it at strip clubs. He nailed a lot of strippers using it.

I heard him use it on two random girls in Tampa leaving a bar. He said hello, and they looked at each other, and actually screamed.

The outer banks of North Carolina. Those folks are isolated out there and they sound like weird Southern pirates with trisomy 21.

A posh female British accent: The word "condom" becomes the most wonderful sound you've ever heard.

Also for me (with women) finding German-speakers who don't speak much English and working my particular magic with them.

The Aussie accent is cool. I know a couple of women from Trinidad whose accents I really love. Both of Indian (there is a large population of people 1 or 2 generations removed from India in Trinidad) descent and well educated (engineering for one and I think the same for the other).
