I'm told I have a tell when I'm upset.The people I work with say they can tell when I really am upset and when I'm feigning it to motivate them.When I really do get upset, I'm told that I have a southern draw complete with slang, dialect, etc...When I am feigning upset, I'm told that I fire for effect by speaking calm at first, then booming to startle them. This part is true.Because they can tell this, I'm learning how I actually speak when I'm angry so that I can feign that too Does anyone else have an accent change when they get angry?[Edited on September 8, 2009 at 8:16 PM.

You post entirely too many threads that people don't care to read.

I get this weird stereotypical italian immigrant accent when I get angry and invariably yell at someone that IMMA BREAKA YO FUCKING FACE-A!!!
9/8/2009 8:17:35 PM
i start to sound south african when i get mad
I do pretty much the same thing. Even though I was born here, for some reason I don't normally have a discernible accent (probably as a result of my dad being from Illinois). But when I'm really angry it is much more likely to show through.

i'm the opposite. i lose most of my accent when i'm really angry. mostly because i'm trying very hard to not scream, so i tend to speak more slowly and enunciate
9/8/2009 8:21:14 PM
I get mad niggerish when I'm angryI go from Morgan Freeman to Samuel L lickety split

My southern twang comes back when i speak to my family. After three years in Raleigh I don't sound at all like I did back home.

My employees tell me that I already speak weirdly anyway. Apparently "North Carolinian" is code for "alien" in Texas.
9/8/2009 8:52:52 PM
that is strange. i'm from nc and my husband is from tx. when we are in nc, people think he is from nc too. when we are in tx, people think i'm from tx. everywhere else, we get a mix of nc and tx. the accents really aren't that far apart (depending on the area of course)where are you in tx?[Edited on September 8, 2009 at 8:56 PM.

believe it or not, I get an english accent when I'm angry or drunkI generally tend to think in an english accent

people can tell when I dont want to do something.... i'll hesitate and then say something like.... umm... or yeaaaaah.... drawn out words
9/8/2009 10:02:03 PM
I don't know about angry, but I get more southern the more I drink...
9/8/2009 10:25:23 PM
when i get angry, one of two things happens... either i'm really vocal about it (pretty mad, but i can be calmed down), or i'm really, really quiet (this is when you need to be worried about me fucking your shit up).
9/8/2009 10:28:26 PM
I don't really get angryI don't see much point unless it's at a stupid little kid
9/8/2009 10:30:19 PM
it must suck to not have any passion for anything.
9/8/2009 10:32:01 PM
aha this happens to me. Apparently when I'm really pissed I get a Southern drawl going. Which is weird since I spent most of my younger childhood not in the South
9/8/2009 10:33:32 PM
^^no, I'm just not a completely immature, selfish asshole that I have to get mad at people for dumb shit
9/8/2009 10:51:17 PM
^ I don't think I understand... where did Selfish come into play here.
9/8/2009 10:57:12 PM
being angry doesn't benefit anyone but if you want to argue that it does, then you could only realistically argue that being angry only benefits yourself
9/8/2009 11:02:22 PM
^^^ i'm not sure why you're implying that getting angry has anything to do with being immature or selfish. both are perfectly normal, even logical responses in many instances.[Edited on September 8, 2009 at 11:03 PM. Reason : ^ and that's a pretty stupid argument.]

When I get upset, I sound like a sassy black woman. True story!
9/8/2009 11:04:31 PM
^^ there's no reason for me to do so. your argument is self-defeating.
9/8/2009 11:05:15 PM
well there's a good argument
9/8/2009 11:05:44 PM
when my friend gets drunk, she has a Jamaican accent...
9/8/2009 11:08:17 PM
Is liberal use of profanity an accent?
9/8/2009 11:21:18 PM
^ only if you're not a sailor.

mine goes up three octaves and I usually start crying
9/8/2009 11:24:03 PM
oh, so your lisp is very noticeable when you get angry?
9/8/2009 11:26:07 PM
uh... nomy lisp is noticeable all the time
