I was watching a british guy`s youtube videos for the past 2-3 hours. Now I am talking to myself inside my head with a britsh accent.


Wtf?

 

 

Good thing it wasn't a Southern accent. You'd be watching NASCAR & WWF, praising The Lawd Gawd Almighteh in public places, and humping your cousin in no time.

For the record, ENGLISH people have horrid teeth.


Us Scots have impeccable dental hygiene.

 

 

The funny thing is, when I lived in Orlando, you could tell all the English lads when they smiled... They all looked like Wallace and Grummit (I have no idea how close to the actual names I got).

I'm a Dutch speaker, but when i'm online browsing English text i think purely in English. I even get annoyed reading bad spelling.

 

Then also when i'm watching an English movie or reading an English book, my thoughts are all in English. My main thinking-accent is Californian, but when the going gets though British is slightly more expressive than American English.

 

Eglaise, oui.

I just met a random Englishman through my company. I live in the country just outside Eugene , and he was on bike (shady road for a bike ride), but still he wanted to come out and pick up a drum (he'd seen them at market and had a business card), so I met him in town in a parking lot , I had a bit of a description , but not a good one , when I thought I saw him I walked up and asked him to spell color , he looked a little confused and said C o l o u , I stuck out my hand and said I'm w/ Slap Happy Drums, ,took him just a second and he started laughing. Sold him two drums , damn nice Englishman.(he had good teeth)

 

 

 

Obviously I knew it was him when he said "UH.. , C" w/ a British accent , but it just seemed like more fun if I let him get to the "u" before confirming his Englishness. I felt it would be a better story for the both of us.

Years ago I worked at an ad agency owned by two brothers from England. After a couple of weeks two things happened:

 

1. We spent hours doing Monty Python schtick.

2. I started speaking with an English accent.

 

Took me awhile to get back to normal.
