SEC Shorts does it again

[DzynKingRTR]

Is this the woman DzynKing is going hiking with Saturday?

good lord no

 

[BamaMoon]

I mean, is that a fake accent? Or I have I been away from Alabama too long? 🤣

I'm from Walker Co. and I know a real southern accent when I hear one.

As someone said, she might be hamming it a bit but I don't think she's a midwesterner OR non-accent southerner putting on. It's too real IMO.

FWIW, we lived in Huntsville a good majority of our children's time at home and neither of them has a southern accent.

Walker Co (Oakman) native here too. When I was in school at UA, people would ask me to “say something” and then ask where I was from. Um, 45 minutes NORTH of Tuscaloosa. LOL

Still love the Vandy Pimp

I usually like SEC shorts, but they are getting terribly repetitive. How many times are they going to run the same gag of the team that got beat or had a tough game showing up with a neck brace and sling on? They need to freshen up their material to remain as funny as they have been in the past.

P.S. Vandy pimp is awesome!

I cannot tell anymore either. I have been making a nonsouthern accent so long I have forgotten how to sound southern. I blew my coworker's minds when they learned my lack of a southern accent is fake.


Also there was no CC this week so the auto CC did not understand the accent at all.

I wish I could get rid of mine but I think I’m just stuck with it.

I sound like my name is Cletus and I just rolled into town on the back of a produce truck.

My wife (I met her while we were students) is from Cottondale, I'm from Orlando. When she was down in Orlando people would ask her to say things all the time - and Orlando is accustomed to tourists with accents.

People generally think I'm from the midwest or something, I've got a largely non-descript accent, though I do use southern colloquialisms, so I think I sound a bit southern.

But even living in Memphis I don't hear a lot of accents with that syrupy drip. It's been a while.

That is what people tell me too. They say I sound Midwestern. I don't use any southern colloquialisms. I never say y'all, ever. I use the very northern you guys. Most of the time I enunciate. One Christmas, my uncle asked me "where'd you learn to talk like a yankee?"

I know what a Cottondale accent is like! I went to Chipola JUCO in Marianna! That being said it sounds like she has a Southern Accent, but she’s embellishing. I had a Girlfriend from Ponce de León, and she pronounced it “Ponce D Leeon”. I have a lot of cousins around Graceville and Chipley.

I saw some saying that is the singer Lauren Daigle.

I’m originally from Mobile, but I lost my accent years ago

TBF, Huntsville is a transient town...

 

[SkullDuckery]

If you think she’s hamming it up you need to spend some time Montgomery south. It’s tame actually.

There are a lot of ways to sound Southern

in New Orleans, we have a variety of accents, and none of them are southern. I’m often told that I don’t have an accent. My mother was adamant about me not picking up local pronunciations, ex. “Jawn” is used for “John”, but my mom made sure I pronounced it correctly, especially since it is my middle name.

I’m trying to figure out what the difference between “Jawn” and “John” is…

I wish I could find it, but there is a woman who did a video on US accents and where they came from. It was uncanny. She would speak in a British accent (of which I realize there are several varieties) and slow it down and viola, it was a southern accent as if she was from Alabama. Then she would speak in a French accent, slow it down and wow... she's from New Orleans.

I have no problem with my accent. If people take me as unintelligent because of the way I sound, well, the joke ends up being on them.

Cottondale, AL (where I live, just east of Tuscaloosa) or Cottondale, FL (just south of Dothan on the way to I-10)?

Cottondale, AL - she lived a few mins down 15th from the mall.

Had no idea there was a Cottondale, FL! haha

I took a humanities elective my freshman year in college called “Voice and Diction”. The first class everyone was given the same paragraph to read aloud in class. Then, based on accent, everyone had to guess where the person was from. Interestingly none thought I had a “southern” accent even though I had lived in central Alabama all my life (I have a tendency to speak much faster and deeper than many southerners, without the drawl). The fascinating thing was the differences, many times very subtle, in people from the same state but different regions in those states.

my public speaking teacher had us pronounce different words. mine was these three words.

Ten
Tin
Tan

As a joke I pronounced them all the same. Tay-yun. Everyone laughed but her.

You live with trouble.

A buddy and I were in University Mall parking lot with our girlfriends when we hopped out to help two girls pushing a vehicle. As we kept passing empty space after empty space, my buddy finally asked where we were going with the car. The one-word answer was, "Cottondale". I still hear that voice and answer when I think about it over 40 years later.

Chivalry died that day; or at least took a holiday.
