Why yes I can! And I can also fake certain regional dialects of England.

Yes, I can. In fact, that was part of the ploy I used to buy liquor when I was underage.

I can but it is so bad that I would expect any British person to b*tchslap me or fall over laughing.

If I ever thought so, I was wrong. Now, I'm in a house with guy from Leicester, England, a son of a Scottish-born Irishman. We spend a lot of time talking, discussing politics, construction, theater, history, etc., and I'm sure that his worst fears include that my accent might rub off on him and he might start sounding like a Brit redneck or something else too bizarre for his family to recognize.
The last time I tried to fake an accent and really hoped it would work, was one night in a bar in NYC after a rehearsal session with an Irish theater and I was hoping to get a part in a subsequent production. I faked an accent and the person to whom I spoke, a stranger to me, let me know in no uncertain terms that I was full of it. That was the last time. Never again.

Pretty well... but I find when you ask a British person to do an "American" accent they always choose the southern ones or New York.

As a matter of fact, I can do a lovely British accent, a decent Irish accent and a spot-on Scottish accent. Now it's time for my tea...I must be off. :-D

Jolly bloody well, or you'll get your comeuppance.

Yes, and just as good as Anthony Hopkins did an American accent when he played Richard Nixon ~ NOT!
by Drastic on October 31st, 2007
Yeah I can do a pretty good accent.
by TimelessJourney on July 25th, 2008
Maybe... but you'll never know if I'm telling the truth now will you? I can fake a Northern accent quite well and that's about it. It's the posh accent I can't keep for long - it begins to evolve into Cockney somewhat, and thats a bit of an oxymoron.

I wish. Unfortunately all my accents sound the same- embarrassing
by SelahWrites on January 31st, 2008
I can.... just about as well as Britney Spears.
by scubaduba on January 31st, 2008
Not well, no.
by 232499 on January 31st, 2008
No - Do Brits do american accents and then laugh at us and the way we talk and act? What do you think of the way we talk - honestly
by AgnusDei on January 31st, 2008
Not very well, no.
by My Favourite Life on January 31st, 2008
Quite.
by overeasy240 on January 6th, 2008
I'm terrible at it.
by pony.rules on January 15th, 2010
Yeah I can [:
Why do so many people incorrectly write/say "PROLLY," instead of the proper/correct "PROBABLY?" Are they lazy, or do they have a speech impediment that prevents the correct pronunciation from being used?
