My experience with the Minnesota accent would be Fargo. And while it has an annoying quaintness to it, I'd need to hear a Minnesota girl talk dirty before I can form a real opinion.
Spanish girls drive me wild. Particularly South American women, like Colombians and Argentinians.
But unless you've heard a pissed women from Marrero or Westwego, you haven't heard the worst voice.

There's been a lot of talk about the UT/Bama rivalry being "properly renewed this week", and some LSU fans profess to be surprised at the intensity of this rivalry. I actually knew about the UT/Bama rivalry from my old job. I had two coworkers who lived in "Birmingum" (as they called it - I fricking HATE that southern accent that has them good ole baws pronounce "Birmingham" as "Birmingum" - like nails on a chalkboard to me) and both were Vols fans and HATED Bama with a passion. Like way more than I as an LSU alum hated Bama.
Anyways, the reason it stuck out to me is that for some reason (maybe b/c of Peyton Manning who I always viewed as a bit provincial coming from the Garden District and Newman and NOLA society) actually CHOSE to go to Tennessee, so in my head as a 15 year-old (at the time) I assumed this meant that they were this aristocratic, Vandy-lite kind of school that just happened to be solid at football at well. And in a certain light, their colors and stadium and band and uniforms seemed like they were a bit upper class.
Now in hindsight I obviously know what dumb, yellow-toothed, spit cup-holding rednecks the majority of their fanbase are and it all seems ridiculous. With the advent of camouflage NCAA merchandise that awful orange is rendered as the redneck/tacky shade of abortion that is actually is. I remain amazed to this day that I once viewed the University of Tennessee fans and program as anything but utter Appalachian (or I suppose it's the Smokies?) poors. I can't believe that Lane Kiffin's wife survived in "Knoxvul" (as the indigenous call it) for 6 entire months.

I've lived in Birmingham for 24 years and never heard anybody say "Birmingum"

For me, I want LSU to get more cracks at Tennessee while they're down. Why should Bama get all the fun?
I can see why. Since 2005, LSU has won all 4 games against UT...which is the same number as they had won in the prior 70 years of the series combined.

So what is the record in the LSU-Tennessee series? Yeah, I can see why you're jealous.

An unprovoked LSU salvo at the Vols. Is this Pearl Harbor day or something?

The Chalmette/St Bernard yatcent is as bad as the westwego Westbank accent. It's the poors that seem to have the worst accents in the NOLA metro.

Alabama vs. Tennessee Record 51-37-8 (52-37-7 on the field)
Alabama vs. LSU All-Time Record 49-25-5
LSU didn't win in Baton Rouge for 25 years. Quit trolling Tennessee

It's not just the poor. It's basically anywhere outside of a Orleans Parish. I've had very wealthy people in River Ridge axe me a question.

Don't know how many times I have to say this, but you aren't Bama's rival. Tennessee and Auburn are their rivals. They look forward to playing yall and it's always a great game (that yall usually lose) but after that they do not talk about yall. The fantasy of a rivalry with Bams is fascinating.

CC, you travel for your job, right? How can you not find the Minnesota/Wisconsin singy-songy Scandinavian sounding shite the worst thing in the world? If Sofia Vergara was naked on my bed and exclaimed, "Oh Yah, give it to me!" in that unfortunate dialect, I think my dick might develop multiple personality disorder.

I know plenty of people in Metairie that don't have a yatcent.
Posted on 10/23/15 at 2:47 pm to northalabamacracker
You hear or less on Metairie than near the river, but it's there.
The Appalachian accent is also pretty horrible. East Tennessee/Western Carolina have some bad, horribly high pitched and shrill sounding accents. But it gets very pleasant sounding once you hit the foothills.

A Tidebit fact. The First 9 games we played Tennessee, they scored only 6 points in total.
