Or Irish. I could listen to Ewen McGregor, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Gerard Butler speak forever :)

I love the Scottish brogue, too. My favorite Scottish actress is none other than Kelly Macdonald.

None of the above. My favorite English-speaking accent is my love's accent. It's so lovely to hear him talk. And from what he's told me, as he is English, there is no "generic English accent".

Generic English means that it isn't unique to one particular region.

I know what generic means and apparently, there are many, many English accents in England, not one standard one (well I think that's obviously, anyway, lol).

The Irish accent

+1
Yum.

reply
Heisenberg to YepIDid... 2012/07/23 03:53:26

Right on! Did you know that the Irish accent had a lot of influence on the American one?

I know when I hear it it makes me forget American sometimes. :) But that is very cool!

Heisenberg to YepIDid... 2012/07/23 19:12:47

Yes, it certainly is.

not sure why but I've always liked them:)

reply
Heisenberg to Samie;P 2012/07/22 19:51:24

They're fun to listen to alright. It's actually a variation of Cockney.

The Scottish accent

Hearing a girl with a Scots accent is enthralling to me.

I could sit and listen to her describing paint drying and be enraptured.

So the Scottish accent is an aphrodisiac to you, huh? I assume you're talking about the Scottish brogue rather than the more subtle ones?

reply
Doc. J to Heisenberg 2012/07/22 21:00:22

Well.....it's not an aphrodisiac in that it sexually excites me, but in that it gives me a puppy love type crush on whatever girl is speaking.
And yes, the brogue.

reply
Heisenberg to Doc. J 2012/07/23 03:53:54

Then you must really like Kelly Macdonald. :)

It's too early for me to remember who she is...

reply
Heisenberg to Doc. J 2012/07/23 16:10:59

She was in the movie No Country For Old Men. She also did the voice of Merida in the new Pixar movie Brave.

That's fun to hear. Jamaican accents can be music to the ears sometimes.
