Mine says neutral too- I have some of a southern accent but I tend to be a fast talker definitely not a slow supposedly southern talker. My real southern sometimes comes out in specific words when I'm on a rant- like one time years ago I was in a group on a tear about something and said the word 'people' but it came out of my mouth as 'pay-puhl' so those around me then haven't let me forget it since.

I find that to always be a conversation starter regardless of where you are from, just if you have an accent.
Even where Im from a guy with a NY or Boston accent comes in, was a great conversation piece.

I have noticed Arkansans either have a very pronounced Southern/Mountain accent or sound like Midwesterners. Half of the folks I know here have almost no accent and half sound country as hell.

So true!!! Funny, I lived in Conway on and off from 18-32 or so-ish and then I moved to Russellville for a while (don't live there now) and during my Russ days my Conway folks would tell me my southern accent was stronger- and Conway to Russ as you know probably are about 45 whole minutes away from each other on the interstate.
Now I will let some southernisms come out in my speech- I heard myself just the other day saying 'I'll have him holler back at you'. What in the...

Neutral. Seems odd, as I was raised in the south, as were my parents and grandparents. But none of them had a pronounced southern accent.

I told someone yesterday I was "fixin' to" do something. Southernisms are always there, lurking, and ready to spring out in full bloom.

“Oh my stars,” is one of your catch-phrases, innit?

Growing up in Alabama I never heard anyone say it who didn’t watch Alice but I still crack up over “ kiss my grits “.

I got western. Pretty neutral. If I’m drinking I get a lot slower and country.
I’ve also read about the midland accent and believe I have that as well.
