Which city/state/region has the worst, most annoying accent in this country?I think it's a close one between Minnesota and Baltimore (pronounced Ballimmerr).  But if it came down to it, I'd probably give it to Minnesota.Jersey must be up there.  Maybe one of the southern states as well.

I can't tell the difference between Jersey/NY accents.  I've lived in NY for my entire life, save for 3 years in Jersey, and the accent doesn't sound different to me.  Although we had a lot of people from Boston and the South in my office, and they could tell the difference between mine (NY) and my coworkers (NJ).Anyway, that Minnesota "Fargoesque" accent is the worst for me.

please, sure jersey and ny have accents but they are NOWHERE near as horrid as that awful midwest accent. Any state west of ohio, north of texas and east of montana make me sick with the way they speak.

My boss was from LI.  He used the terlit in the mens room, sometimes he would axe me how my day was going.  Did I sell any timatess (tomatoes) today?, etc.i grew up down south and can't even go home any more without being aggravated.  sounds like they have a mouth full of marbles when they talk.

(luckily I don't have it)And, from watching The Wire, Baltimore has the exact same accent.

I HATE a Maryland accent and this is where I grew up. I've tried hard all my
life not to sound like I'm from here.

I loathe the Rhode Island accent with a passion. It's like someone is scratching out fuck you with nails on a chalk board. I literally started to want to stab people in the throat after four years of hearing it, just to make it stop. It basically combines the worst aspects of the New York and Boston accents. Pretty much any other accent is okay with me. I actually find the mid-Atlantic and midwestern accents comforting.

The redneck accent.  David Cross has a great bit where he points out how rednecks from Alaska to Florida will somehow have the same grating, retarded accent.

I have lived inCincinatti, DC, NYC, Upstate NY, Indiana, and Florida.  And these fucking rednecks down here take the cake.  To have someone stand in front of his rebel flag flying truck with a mouth full of chaw, and tell me "You Northerners, You just don't get what the south is about" when I handed him some campaign literature for the Dems.    Thats when i gave up.  I don't get it.

1. George W. is from Kennebunkport.  He's Texan like Madonna is British.2. C'mon!  A sweet Southern accent can be adorable on a girl.  Strange on a guy, but whatever.  I hear how Noo Yawk talks and I can't believe they can mate.

There is the generic Southern accent, which is hilarious, then in South Florida, there is the conglomeration of northern accents (and broken English). A few years ago, I met an Asian chick with a southern accent. So hot.South Jersey/North Maryland has to be the worst.

riverofpiss....that is soooo true about Newfoundland...just check this out if you don't believe it.  OK...I give up....I can't figure out how to link to YouTube.... If
you type in Nissan X-Trail Bonovista, it will bring up the commercial
and you'll get the idea.  Most Newfies really do have that strong
of an accent.  Its like a compete other language.
