Most annoying accents...and sexiest ones...

**Pauro 76** · 28/03/2004, 6:47 PM

Was travelling about last week, and struck me how amazingly awful the Scouse (scally version...) is. So heres my top 3 horrible accents and sexiest ones!

Worst:
1) Scally scouse accent - jarring, screeching, like hearing a fork scratched on a plate....
2) Knacker Dooblin accent - need i say more...
3) Knacker Glasgow accent - even saying hello sounds abusive....

Sexiest:
1) Other parts of Scotland accent - mmmmmm.....
2) Donegal accent - beautiful....
3) French... cant imagine a knacker version of this one....

I guess most 'knacker/scaller' accent from any city is bad. Brian Kerr's accent needs a bit of fine tuning for press conferences

. Colin Farrell's accent in the Veronica Guerin film is comical

**Éanna** · 28/03/2004, 7:03 PM

dublin and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaterford accents are the worst.
sexiest? Scottish a lá gail porter or derry* a lá nadine coyle

*: disclaimer derry accent not sexy when the only words you can make out are "hey" and "iron-bru"

The worst would be Eanna's. Sexiest? I really like the posh English accent, like angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider.

I hate the australian accent, and not amd about many English accents. German, eeuuuuuucccccchhhhh. I fuucking despise all American accents, they are whiney and creepy.

French and Spanish are magic, and i agree w Eaaaaaaanar, Gail Porters Scots accent is great.

Oh, and my favourite (despite not liking English accents) is Sophie Ellis Bextor. So posh and................................

I live in England a most people round this part speak like that-and find the Cork accent (as I do) incredibly sexy...

Well have to say jury is out on non-knacker non-D4 dublin accents.

As for the Scots, I'll qualify that as any bird from the Eastern half of the central belt who is not a knacker has a very, very, very, sexy accent. Dundonian and Aberdonian birds are not the sexiest sounding at all.

Scandanavian, especially Norwegian, are very nice.

worst:

1. Liverpool
2. Spanish (gaggle of spanish women = world's ugliest sound)
3. Glasgow (and it's nothing to do with Celtic, for the record

)

best:

3. Texas (ladies only, specifially the waitress in Austin who actually said, "y'all come back now y'hear")

In the LOI:

Yeah she made a radio ad here a couple of years ago about being down in the student union bar with some students and I kept thinking of her afterwards saying: 'Hello, it's Gail Porter here. I'm in the student union bar just getting my t*ts out for some lads.'

The worst accents are the Septic Tanks because they are, gee, sooooooo LOOOUUUDD!!!!

**Paddy Ramone** · 30/03/2004, 9:13 AM

Another accent I like are the Jamaican and West Indian accents. Sound a bit like the Cork accent.

Pakistani and Indian accents are great too. Sound like the Welsh and Kerry accents for some reason.

Love the Cavan accent. But hate Dundalk/Drogheda/Louth/Navan and Meath. Navan man accent has to be one of the most horrible accents.

**Macy** · 30/03/2004, 10:12 AM

Worst:
1. Cork/Kerry - you lot may sing, but I don't dig the tune
2. Brummie - you may want to be together, but don't fúckin talk to me
3. D4 - I mean totally, roysh
4. Scouse - Chewbacca from Star Wars

Best:
1. Donegal
2. Soft Northern
3. Soft Scottish
4. Aussie
