[Izar]

Do you speak like you post? Or do you model your speech after how you post(hope not! :P )? I don't. I talk more like this, in all silables:

So what's up, dude?
How ya'll doin'?
Whatcha doin'?
Are ya gunna go over there or are ya?
Dude, I ain't tha- way. (Sometimes I say "Man, I'm not that way")
Where tha heck is tha dog?
When I go ta tha shop.
I'm Frum Texas!
Dude, where ya goin'?

It's crazy when I go to like Maine or Canada, the people are like "Whoa there, buddy, are you from Texas?" It's crazy. So how do you speak?

[Someone Else]

"Hey, bub."
"Hey."
"Dude, don't do that."
"...the hell?"
"What'er you doing?"
"Nah."
"Naw."
"No."
"Yes."

The most common things I say. I consider myself to have better charisma than most people. :P

[Izar]

lol, I say "What'a(or what'er) ya doin'?" or "Whachu doin'?" too.

I'm redneck sounding, just a bit, but not as bad as most people here.

[Luna]

When I speak in spanish, 4 out of 10 words I say are "dude" :D

If I speak in english, it adjusts to my surroundings (aka the other people who speak english around me). Accents stick to me really easily so, if I spend some time (about an hour or so) with any of you guys; your accent and your expressions will stick to me x.x;

[Elliott]

I don't post how I speak. I usually swear a lot, so I wouldn't last long here, and I have a slight stutter when I try and say something fast. Common phrases are "what the f**k", "Soiya" (seeya), and "you're *** you like boys", so yeah, if I did post the same as a spoke in real life, I'd get banned pretty damn fast.

[Papercut]

I swear like a sailor, which I can't do here, but do on other boards. Other than that, I speak pretty much the same as I type here.

[Izar]

I meant as in HOW you speak, not the words you use, like do you use accents or make words sound wired or different than they actually are.

[Elliott]

I speak with an Australian accent if that's what you're asking, I don't change words around often, if at all.

[Izar]

Well, I mean, when you say "What are you doing?" do you say something like "What are ya doin'? or something...

[Black Mage]

I tend to talk really fast, which causes me to mess up my words.

I also say "really?" a lot when someone tells me something (with kind of a sarcastic tone)

[lifeform287]

Really? *sarcastic tone*

Had to do that. :P

No I don't tend to change words, unless I absolutly need to. Like on the Fo' Shizzlin version of the site...

Oooh like that?

When Sheba gets bored, she extends the sounds of vowels or letters like "r" and accentuates the "g" sounds more.

I just try to poke everything around to make it sound more exaggerated, just for fun :O.

@the swearing thing: I swear like that too but in spanish :D

[Izar]

I dispise too much swearing. Plus my mom would kill me if she cought me. :P

Sometimes I talk too fast for my own good, and do not pronounce t's. And instead of saying Vowel, I saw vowl.

[Betrayer]

I don't know. I say "What are you doing?" I don't take off the G or the A. >>;

Plus, I curse a lot.

"What the f*** are you doing?"

"How the h**l are you?"

"F*ckin' Eh?" (I say that because it's one of the two best Canadian sayings ever. The other one is next even though it's not a cuss word.)

"That'll learn ya'." No one actually says those two Canadian sayings, but ... yeah. XD

[Izar]

Here's another comparison with Texas and the rest of ya'll:

You say: I'm about to...
We say : I'm fixin' to!

[Betrayer]

:P Here's a comparison from Canadians to Americans.

You say: "Yeah."

We say: "Oh yeah, eh? For sure."

XD I like to say that as a joke...eh?

[Papercut]

Well, if you mean like that...

I say aboot instead of about (I'm not Canadian, but they're right on this one, dammit). But, in actuality, it sounds more like "a-boat" when I say it sometimes.

I also tend to talk pretty fast (but not as fast as my friend Gersch, man that guy talks fast), and slur some words together.

[Someone Else]

Accent, eh? Well, when I say words like "believe" it'd end up sounding like "bulieve".

In other words, "be" turns into "buh". =P

As for swearing, I don't swear unless you count damn, hell, and crap as swear words. XD

[Venus_Man1]

Well, I guess I play around a little with the words when I talk. And I swear like hell.

[Izar]

Lol, same here.

Normally, I say lookathat tree! Instead of look at that tree.

Tha = the
uh = a

[Elliott]

After thinking about this, I occasionally slur words together, and stutter, but this is only when I want to say something fast, if I just relax and slow down there isn't a problem.

[Nemphtis]

In real life I talk London slang, ya'll wouldn't be able to comprehend alot of it though.

[Izar]

Ha, ya'll wouldn't undertand texas redneck slang. Geez, we NEVER say You guys, or Good Day.

How ya'll doin' over at dat dair rukus, Go down yonder and fetch some uh dem dair.

[Elliott]

I just think that sounds lazy, if you're going to speak English, why not do it properly.

[Izar]

Not, it's an "Accent." so there is no right or wrong in the language really. People here discribe other countries as speaking English wrong.

[Elliott]

Well obviously the English have it right and everyone else has it wrong, after all, they invented and developed the language.

[Luna]

I think I'd be able to understand you and your slang D:

95% of my teachers come from many places around the U.S. and even from England and Australia so, I'm used to them all.

[Echo_djinn]

Talking to my friends:
"Shut Foo!!"
"Yo"
"B**** licker"
"Are you g**?"-offensive to those people so I should try to get out of the habit of saying that.
"Super duper"- Just because it sounds stupid
"Heh"

Those are words I like to say and here is a normal sentence for me.

"Yo, foo, did you catch the spurs game? Tim Duncan MVP, my man for the playoffs."

There you go.

I mean how we say it, not how it is. We are culturly born to speak english a different way.

[Elliott]

Some Australians use some crazy slang, things like "dead horse" for tomato sauce, and thing along those lines. I never quite understood a lot of it though, or the point in saying it.

[Luna]

You mean like how here we use the verb "to rip" as slang for "bragging"? :D

Or "to grab/get/take" as slang for having sexual intercourse? o.o

HAHA n.n

[MysticWarrior]

Amazingly, I post a lot more curse words than I speak. Other than that, no, I do not think my speech is different than my posting abilities.

[Isaac13]

"............."

I'm usually the quiet one at home and school. Actually, almost always. Iv'e also been stuying British accent. It's alittle hard, though I may have the hang of it.

[Luna]

^That's what I want to do but when I get to England :O People in my country have this natural talent of having accents stick to them really easily. In a few hours maybe. So, if I go to England, I'll get their accent :D I've only done it before with two or three other countries.

[Izar]

here;s some slang:

Ya'll = You all, we NEVER use you all or you guys. Invented right her(here) in Texas! :P

ain't = Are not, I use both

gunna = going to, I rarely use Going to, but i use gunna alot.

yankee = northern American, we use it every once and awhile. Southerners hate being called that.

redneck = NOT a hilbilly. It's a country person.

I'm fixin' to = I'm about to.

Coke = any soft drink, soda, etc.

boondocks = far off areas in towns.

Idjit = Idiot (rarely used anymore)

"Dadgummit" "Dadblamit" "Dadblasted" "Dang it!" "Darn it!" "Dern it!" " Oh Shoot!" "Well shoot!" = popular "Oh Crap!" phrases we use.

Double negatives are popular slang too like "I aint gonna do nothin' "

"He fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down!" = an ugly person.

Okay, so you're a wannabe Brit, what's new. Everyone wants to TRY and speak our all-powerful accent. Americans cower in our sexy accent, the only reason Tony Blair and Bush are such good friends is because Bush can't resist Tony's whack-ass accent.

"Mate, you will sign this treaty!"
"If the British aprove, I aprove!"
"Now that this is out of the way, let's drink some fine old English tea, grown in Taiwan and farmed by the Iraqi slaves we secretly captured last year."
"Nice one Tony, I hope this friendship lasts as long as the relationship between Jacko and that little kid."
"Er... Sure... Bush..."

[el_Sethro]

I generally post as I talk, although ironically, though you will NEVER catch me posting "omg" or "wtf", I often say them in actual conversation, mostly to make fun of people who overuse them online. (I can weird that way)

I don't think I really have a distinct accent, but you might disagree if you heard me talking.

I don't generally say "eh" or "aboot", though I am Canadian (actually, I have NEVER heard anyone say "aboot"). Also, many of the people at school and whatnot have "baymen" accents, being from Newfoundland and all, but I have not adopted it despite repeated exposure.

I have a fairly extensive vocabulary, and like to use it both on and offline, and I try never to say "like", as I absolutely loathe it when people use it 50 times every freaking sentance!!!
I try to swear as little as possible, as the words lose all meaning if you say them too much (I want to save them so I can really shock people!), though I've probably been telling more people to "Go eat a ****" than I should lately.

I think that about covers it.

[l3lueMage]

I am the quiet one in the house, rarely talk...and also at school, like never talk unless with friends X_x...but online i talk more than I do in real life -__-

Actually, the original English (That means in England, Canada, USA, Australia, and all other countries with English as their first language.) accent was the southern accent that you would find down in Texas, and other southern states. The different countries and states just developed their own in a long time period.

El Sethro, aboot is what people supposedly say in America.

I sort of need to quote this one.

Izar said:

redneck = NOT a hilbilly. It's a country person.

I'm fixin' to = I'm about to.

Coke = any soft drink, soda, etc.

People around here never say you all, y'all (It's not Ya'll, it's y'all.) and we rarely say you guys. If you were to say "How y'all doin' tanight?" (Or however it might sound.) it would come out here as "How're you doon tonn-ite?" (Only those with heavy accents would say doon, which means not me. =D)

Ain't = We sometimes use this phrase, but most of the time we'd use we are or whatever it would normally be.

Gunna = A lot of us say that when not speaking in school or in the office, but in one of those two places we say going to.

Yankee = I always thought that a Yankee or a Yank was someone from New York or it's neighboring states. We never use it around here as a North American.

Redneck's are not always supposed to be a hillbilly, around here we use the term for someone who's from the southern states of America.

I'm fixin' to = That's the best saying ever. Never heard someone say it, though.

Coke = Coca Cola, the original Cola made to be a nice-tasting cough syrup, later carbonated. Around here when we refer to a carbonated beverage, it's either soda or pop. Never the two together.

And, no, Izar, by responding to your post, I am not trying to create a conspiracy. :P

Never heard that. The original English was actually ALOT different. It was old English, stuff like "Dost thou wish to leave in thy abandonment" and such. The accent in Texas is actually new. Remember Old Westerns? That's our accent, but thicker.

Quote

No, we don't say that. That's people in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, or in Banff, at least, that's what we are told that you say.

Quote

(It's not Ya'll, it's y'all.) and we rarely...

Actually, we spell it "Ya'll not y'all." Go on ta dem dair Texas and we'll fix yer-right up. :) Infact, sometimes we don't even pronounce the ll's. Sometime we say "yaw."

Quote

I'm fixin' to = That's the best saying ever. Never heard someone say it, though.

Ha, we say it all the time. It is the best.

[Betrayer]

I've been to every provine in Canada. Never have I heard someone say aboot.

And they did speak with that grammar. I'm talking about the accent, not the word choice. A-doink.

[Izar]

The Texas accent was not the original accent. It was the British. Our accent never came until the early 1800's when we started to settle. Have you heard us speak?

When I went to alberta, I heard them say aboot, actually, more of a mix between about and aboot.

[Mathak Kraven]

Argh, why does this have to be an English topic, beceause I can't traznslate all my stupidness to English, I just can't.

[Luna]

^Whaaaat? o.o

The whole forum's in english x.x; And, my mother tongue is spanish. How would that stop you? :B

[Izar]

This is about how ya'll speak in real life, no matter the language. I speak English, and what we call Spanglish. :)

No problemo
Look at them tacos n fajitas, it's muy caliente(or however you spell it)

[Luna]

o.o... I thought that only native-spanish speakers used Spanglish.

I use spanglish 70% of the time x.x;

Friend: Gente, para adonde vamos despues de lunch? (Where do we go to after lunch?)
Sheba: Para Physics. (To physics]

Not a good example but, at least it gives you an idea.

When using words like Lunch or Physics in english, the rest in spanish, we don't call it Spanglish, we just say it's spanish. When we mean Spanglish, it's English with some spanish words in an American accent. :)

Same goes for you golden dijinni, more words in a post... And what in the world are you talking about? Please don't span like that.

[Excalibur's Power]

Here are some examples:

"..."

"Get the hell away."

"Shut up, brat."

"DAMMIT! STUPID [boss] BEAT ME AGAIN!"

"Whateva [insert girly accent here] [insert name]"

"...what the?"

"Oh my god.."

"HURRY! HURRY!"

"Uh..."

"I dunno..."

XD

[Izar]

Just for fun, I say stuff like "What the Cheese Nips?" or sometimes "You son of a monkey" ha, I'm serious, sometimes I'm just strange like that.

[Izar]

Nick will deal with the rest of your posting. I have warned you twice, and that's probably not even enough.
