Welsh?

DanaC · 06-26-2011, 06:13 AM

It's a Welsh placename :p Famously long and difficult to pronounce.

The question is what kind? Do you want a Crocodile Dundee kind of accent or an Adam Hills type accent (see clip below) or a bogan accent (see 2nd clip-Dave Hughes in the flannelette shirt. BTW, N Really SFW) or the elongated oooooooooo of New South Welshmen and Victorians (Paul McDermott, the guy who introduces Dave Hughes could fit into this category)?

footfootfoot · 06-26-2011, 09:07 AM

OK, I think it's the Aussie Sheila accent for starters, but Hughes is more of the type of accent I'm familiar with.

I'm also thinking of Toni Collette and Cate Blanchett

casimendocina · 06-26-2011, 09:55 AM

I love Cate Blanchett (and have no aversion to her accent).

I was looking around on Youtube for an unpleasant/grating Australian female accent and thought of Pauline Hanson (right wing politician from Qld) and Corrine Grant (comedian)-both having passed the height of their popularity as far as I know. There were a lot of clips, but none that I could bring myself to post. If you're interested, Youtube them and be prepared to dig through a fair bit of crap before you get to what you're looking for and then about 2 seconds will suffice.

What was that aussie sitcom, Kim and something ? They had slightly grating accents as I recall.

monster · 06-26-2011, 04:10 PM

Aussie dwellar of course. it's no good if it isn't a dwellar

Their accents were awful (similar to the Dave Hughes kind of accent). Occasionally in the shopping centre scenes, they would visit a 'thing' shop and the shop assistants there (Prue and Trude-also played by Jane Turner and Gina Riley) had upper class Melbourne accents.

I says: Goanna, Ali, Casi, Ducksi (for simetri onli, I know it's 'posed to be a y). Pick a word list, no, repeat the word lists to this point.

.... pretty please?

monster · 06-27-2011, 07:02 PM

Please do this, Aussies, we need to educate these yanks... I'm sick of being mistaken for one of you (not that it wouldn't be cool to be from Aus, but they all want me to fix them up with Danii Minogue and show them how to throw a boomerang.......)

footfootfoot · 06-27-2011, 07:22 PM

I'm starting the Aussie challenge thread

I just checked, WTF is this in Relationships? I'm putting it, some may say appropriately or ironically, in Nothingland.

Surely they have better taste than that...tastewise, she is at the bottom of the scale (in an equivalency scale with the US, only slightly above Paris Hilton).

I'd never heard of her, but was impressed by the number of repeated letters in her name. Then I found out that before she multiplied she was just Danus Minogue.

This thread totally made my day. So great to hear you all! Foot, I loved your bonus words -- reminded me so much of my students this past year.

"You mean a hyPERbolee?"
"That's what I said! HYPERBOWL!"
