New England, because I'm surrounded by it, and have worked my whole life not to have it.

I heard a Ghetto-New England accent in Boston once, a long time ago. It was odd. We asked for directions or something: "Man, dat's faahr. I can't begin to tell ya how faarh dat is."

New England gets my vote. As a matter of fact...I don't think there is anything about New England that I like. It is a terrible place. And they have some of the worst sports fans up there, I swear to ****.

Heheh, Timmit, I'd say that is more common in teenage girls than in CA, even limited to Southern CA. I never heard it anywhere but in the southlands (except from teenage girls).

I know it's hip to hate the ghetto accent, but frankly it doesn't bother me that much. I can't stand the "bro" vernacular.

People from Wisconsin/Minnesota. I like the movie Fargo but I want to put an icepick in my ear whenever I watch it.
