Accents you love/hate

Are there any 'types' of accents that you love (or don't really care for?)

French accents, I think, are what work my nerve. There was a big debate about this, in an episode of Law and Order SVU there was this mother who was French and she lived all over the world, and when she spoke it sounded like she was gargling on a mouth full of rocks, and some people said that's just the accent, I don't think it is, but they insist it was, but it was irritating as hell to me.

I like most of the accents of the entire world!

I like a lot of accents from the North Eastern part of the U.S. - Boston accents, Brooklyn accents, Jersey accents. They make the men sound tough. One type of accent I don't really care for is the French accent - it sounds kind of pompous. I also really hate Valley Girl accents - it sounds like they have the I.Q. of a flea. With a Southern accent, it makes the women sound like delicate, lovely flowers, while it makes the men sound girly.

Island accents are the sexiest in the world. Especially when someone who is from the islands can switch it up at the drop of a hat. I have several friends from the islands. All of my guys friends who are from there can do it......I used to call up my homeboy at work and he would answer the phone sounding all American, prim and 'proper' then in the middle of the conversation.....go straight into his Jamaican patois. Used to turn.me.on.

I like the way the Aussies sound.

I agree with Tony and Shale. I like them all. Anybody who sounds different than those I see day to day, I enjoy.

i like italian accents

LOVE:
General American ("non accented" American) - what "American English is supposed to sound like
British (RP/Queen's English) - What British English is supposed to sound like
Australian - these accents make me laugh, mostly because of Steve Irwin
French - these accents sound sexy to me
Italian - Italians always sound like they are singing
Carribean - also sexy sounding accents
Irish - this is a pleasant sounding accent to me

HATE:
Louisiana (creole/cajun talk) - can't understand what the hell they're saying
southern California (valley talk) - valley talk sounds ignorant
Deep south US (Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi) - sound ignorant AND racist
Boston accent - they make me laugh. Pak da caa!
New Yawk/Joisy accent - even though it's where I'm from, I disguise my own
Ebonics - learn proper grammar
Thick Latino/hispanic accent - learn proper enunciation
Chinese American (Engrish) - learn proper pronounciation
British (Cockney accent) - sound like they have a mouth full of spit
British (London ghetto/street talk) - ignorant Brits
Scottish - Thicker and harder to understand than the more pleasant Irish

I don't know what accents I "love".... but I can say that I'm most of the time not fond of thick British accents.

I like Irish or Scottish accents most and I like some British accents but some grate on my nerves. My cousin has a great accent, though, and so do some of my friends who are also British. One of them said that the accent that grated on my nerves was from one particular part of Britain and that it was considered a lower class accent. She said when she was younger, she and her friends tried copying the Queen's accent, thinking it was sophisticated - lol!
