You definitely hear "wicked" in New Hampster. Didn't know it had crawled as far north as Maine.

"Oh my head" is an exclamation like "f-in A," generally used to underline the speaker's incredulity. "Look at that girl's hooters -- oh my head!" or "I was soooooo drunk last night -- oh my head!"

Now excuse me, but I'm late for candlepin bowling in Wuhstah.

Well...for me, everything that's from "great" britain is british (hmmm...then I shouldn't have put Scottish and Wellish on)

To make it clear: The accents from "Great" britain (I have heard) is just too annoying...

It's got to be the French

Wellish

Just to make everyone understand (EU2 logic):

SD and I had "very good" relations. Then he got on me, thus providing me with a casus belli against him. So I unsulted him in order to get worse relations. Apart from that, we're from different nations (replacing religions from EU2) and have never net (no royal marriage). I can now declare war upon him without being afraid of stability loss

[Boris Godunov]

Yes, but he has more allies and a bigger...army. Sure you wanna?

[Dauphin]

You forgot to add that you have a bad boy image.

[Boris Godunov]

SD, he is German, so it would be redundant, wouldn't it?

[Dauphin]

Nothing wrong with tautologies if they emphasise a point though.

Accents = Dialects?
