Fud - The term "fud" is used as Scottish slang for referring to someone as a foolish person - or more commonly, as female genitals
I use it for the “foolish person” |

Scouse on a bird can be the sexiest..or the most disgusting accent ..it's catch 22
Irish is easily a close second with geordie following up the rear..Welsh has its moments too .. cockney women sound either amazing or annoying and mancs are bearable . Never really spoke to a Brummy woman . And Scots have the funniest accent on the planet . " Which oneaeyou took a shit an didnae flush "  |

Never thought anything of it until I started working outside of Dorset but apparently our phrase of ….
“Where’s that to?”
… as in ….
“Where is that”
….threw many of my colleagues from further up north.
Also keep getting told my accent is posh but I promise you nothing is further from the truth lol
Also whilst I think of it, I got ridiculed for pronouncing “tomorrow” as “tah-mare-row” and “was” as “wuz” |

I live near a place where half the town pronounces a word differently to the other half of the town. This very localised invisible geographical boundary is called an Isogloss. The word in question is "House", which is pronounced "Arse" by half of the inhabitants.
I love the UKs language cultural heritage, there's what, 30 miles between Liverpool and Manchester, and...
Makes me laugh when Americans say "Oh I love the British accent!" - which one??!? |

"My accent is dreadful.
Yorkshire. Say no more
I love the Yorkshire accent,unless it is really broad and the vowels all disappear

Isn't that the Welsh language?  "
The Welsh language actually has more vowels than English  |

I pick up the local accents quite easily, when I am in the area, what I can't do is the local dialects. My accent is fairly straight and unassuming, unless I switch my (North) Welsh Accent into my speech (typically when I get annoyed). |

"My favourite saying is I’ll be there now in a minute. This saying for some reason seems to confuse our English friends .."
Took me some time to get use to it but I talk a bit like a Welshy with phrases now.
Put it here is it |

I like Scottish and Welsh accents
Within England it has to be a northern accent I have friends you know who you are in both the north west Preston area and the north east Newcastle area and both accents of those regions appeal |

I’m Scottish - can’t do any other accents I’m shite at them.
We have many words/phrases we use here ‘away and fuck yerself’ being a personal favourite and I know it’s not everyone cup of tea but we really do say the word c**t better than most  |

"Welsh always does it for me! Quite like a geordie accent as well to be fair "
I’m fairly good at accents as I was a wannabe actor in my younger days
It always makes me smile when everyone calls each other duck in Nottingham |

Get accused of having a Brummy accent but it isn’t.
Local words, cunna, wunna and dunna - as in can’t, won’t and don’t.
Favourite local word is misling as in the weather is dull and grey with a bit of rain. |

I don't think there is anywhere else in the world where it is used as a compliment. |

That’s the same - placenames are full of vowels. “W” and “Y” are vowels in Welsh.
I love that people call each other “butt” in South Wales. Causes some quizzical looks when people hear it for the first time.
Scottish and Irish accents floor me .

I cannot mimic accents. I don't sound like I'm from Wolverhampton even though I am. I'm rather fond of my husband's light Scottish accent. Strange how there's no love for the black country accents 
I day know that = I didn't know that
Let's meet by the mon on the oss = let's meet by the man on the horse - i.e the statue of Prince Albert |

Accent threads always fill me with dread - where's all the love for "non-descript Home Counties, maybe a bit posh but not quite Hugh Grant posh" accent???
My faves are mellow Scottish, Geordie or Scouse accents, but I like most as they all have something about them! |

Here, here is the love for an underappreciated accent. Finally someone representing a beautiful area with a beautiful accent*.

You think you’re under represented, what about the Dorset/wilts/hants triangle ? All around us seem to be strong accents but we’re just “meh” |

People, there is no such thing as a universal Scottish accent anymore than there is a universal English accent, there are many. Try comparing the Glaswegian, Aberdonian, and Stornoway accents for example. If you think they sound remotely similar, you're tone deaf! The only thing they have in common is that they're sexy af. |

"What’s your favourite accent?
How good are you are mimicking accents?
Drop in a word that is used in your region that other people don’t use…"
Ones that come from the general south east of England do it for me. Not sure if it's contrast from hearing a Yorkshire accent all the time or something else, but they are somewhat intoxicating |

So my favourite Welsh expressions/words are-
'Cwtch' which means cuddle
'Poor dab' which means you feel sorry for someone
'This is cowing lush' which means its very nice

Where's that to? is common here in S Wales also. One of many strange sayings. As an illegal imigrant to the country I'm not always sure what are local sayings and what are expressions that have been invented by her ladyship and used so often everyone in her family knows and understands them while I haven't a clue. I swear that woman is one step away from having a GCSE course written as a new modern language option.
