British Accents

British Accents: God’s gift to women and the men that have them. There is much to be said about the British accent and its many forms. My two favorites are the proper and cockney accents. Both are from the same country, but have the opposite effect. The proper British accent can make a man who is otherwise of normal intelligence and maturity sound quick-witted and sensitive, hindering us from listening to the words he is actually saying by enticing us with the way they rolls off his tongue. Conversely, the cockney accent sounds rough and dirty, forcing us to hang onto every word in case of any innuendo that could be taken as an invitation. Of course, both are completely similar in that you want to jump the man that has either dialect.

Specimen A: Proper
























Specimen B: Cockney
























Other worthy mentions also stem from the UK: Irish and Scottish. Both accents sound as if the owner is going to break out in a bout of poetry or song and brings thoughts of rolling, grassy fields and quiet cottages…or maybe not so quiet cottages if you know what I mean.

Specimen C: Irish















Specimen D: Scottish



















This brings me to a dilemma: how is an American girl to remain patriot to her native country if she is so attracted to accents from across seas? I have often pondered this issue and have finally come to the conclusion that there is nothing more patriotic than playing out the American Revolution each and every night. You know, to honor our forefathers.
