Ok so what he's gay? he probably misinterpreted things and thought the other guy was gay which pissed him off more than the british accent.

Christ. I live in West London, and can you imagine what a prat I'd sound like if I came up to you and started doing some fake American accent? It's a terrible idea, not only does it make you sound daft, but it also can sound like you're just taking the piss.

there is no "british accent" god damn so many stupid ass people who say this

mm, a homosexual.

FFS wtf? 1) Don't try and impersonate what you think to be a British accent 2) Britain doesnt have AN accent, it has many e.g Scottish, Welsh, Liverpudlian, Manchester, London, Kent, Geordie etc 3) Why do you find out accents 'sexy'? Answers on a postcard please x

I agree with #236, there is no "British" accent, we dont speak like Hugh Grant, Jude Law or Sienna Miller as much as the film industry makes it look that we do. In fact if most americans would hear geordie, brummie or west county accents they woud probably not be able to understand them! The difference in the UK is probably bigger than someone from Maine to someone from Georgia. And P.S... WHY ARE BRITISH ACCENTS CONSIDERED TO BE SEXY??!!

haha you think aaall british accents are sexy? :D but also which accent were you trying to do? haha you would have looked so silly, there is nothing THAT sexy about anyone's accent that i know of or any other british accents i can think of. x x

Sexy accents? Sexy British accents? I've never encountered these words in the same sentence before. What kind of British accent was OP attempting? I grew up in Manchester, and I can't stand how I talk.

I know, right? I'm North Irish and I hate how all our accents sound. Not too keen on most of the Irish accents either, tho I'm only really familiar with Dublin suburbs, and as far as Swords. Ick ick ick. English I can take or leave, tho a few of the reli strong ones - scouser and geordie - I reli dislike. Brummie on a chick can be cute tho. But Scots... well. I never met a Scot who didn't sound sexy. ;) Heehee.

*sigh* I don't understand it. I've been able to imitate a British accent since I was twelve. That doesn't mean I use it. In fact the only people who even know I can do it are family and a few close friends (including my boyfriend). Not only that, but I'm pretty sure anybody with properly functioning ears could tell the difference between my imitation and an actual British person's accent. I can't really tell the difference, but only because it's my own voice, which people also don't seem to realise. I also stay out of discussions about it because I have NO idea from what region my imitation would come anyway. If anyone wants to tell me, I began learning it while watching the Harry Potter movies - I know, shameful - and it is (to my own ears, anyway) similar to their accents. But anyway - this is what I don't get. Why use something so obviously against your normal actions to try and seem sexier? It's not like you could keep up the pretense if you actually began to date the person. I don't know about anyone else, but after a while my accent imitations - all of them, not only the British one - make my throat ache. Not only that, but if the relationship grew serious eventually they would want to meet your parents, and then you'd either have to come clean and admit you were lying, or have your family all look at you weird when they hear you speaking in a voice so clearly not your own.
