Do you ever think less of southern accents worse than your own?

Like you talk Yat, does down the bayou cajun bother you?
Or your from Alabammer does a Florida panhandle drawl bother you?

I know I talk with asb accent, but man some sound straight up country bumpkin and are tough on the ears.

Yes, the backwoods AL accent drives me nuts. And that's coming from somebody who was raised in N LA

People who judge others based on their accents are idiots.

No. I think less of people who think someone having a thick Southern accent is indicative of their intellect or lack there of.

Down the bayou Cajun is the best accent in Louisiana, and arguably the world. Mais I don’t know me how anyone can not like it.

Lenny Bruce did a routine about how no one would have listened to Einstein if he'd had a Southern accent.

"Now listen up y'all, this har energy is eekal tuh--"

"On shut up you stupid redneck."

I mean I judge people based on their appearance more than the accent they have. You can sound like a hick but if you are well dressed and hold yourself up well I don't care about an accent. If you look like trash accent or not you will be treated as such.

No, but I immediately think "a-hole" when I hear a New York, Boston, Wisconsin etc accent.

You have to prove to me you're not a dickhead before I will act friendly at all towards you.

Consider the source.

Canadian women love Southern accents.

My brother and I went into a Wendy's in Vancouver many years ago. They were fascinated by our accents.

Everywhere we went, same thing. I told my brother I was ready to stay up there.

When I moved from Texas as a kid my accent was so thick, they made me take speech therapy to lose it.
I watch old videos of me and I had that thick hill county accent.

I count on folks like you. I do investigations in the industrial arena for a living. I interview engineers and PhD's all the time. I have a REALLY thick country accent and it is my super power. I get to ask the dumbest questions in the world with a straight face. Most folks are delighted to enlighten the ignorant red neck with their vast knowledge. If I ask a question, I already know the answer so it's pretty funny.

One of the lawyers that I deal with regularly finally admitted she thought my accent was fake at first. She thought I was doing it to put people at ease and draw out information. I love my accent but will admit I sound like an ignorant hick.
