North Carolina Accent


Question Posted Sunday February 11 2007, 10:08 pm

I don't know how to word this so ...

How do you fake a North Carolina accent. What is their dialect like? What are some of the words the use that others don't in the Northwest? What is there accent like? Is it really heavy?

Me and my friends made a bet. I lived in North Carolina until I was five, but then I moved. She bet me 50 bucks that when we drive up their this Summer on our way to New York that I couldn't pass for a local. So pretty much I have to get into a conversation with someone I don't know for more than 5 minutes and not have them ask me where I'm from. I may have lived there for five years but I was 6 when we moved, I'v never been back and I want to win the bet.

Hey. Lol, sounds like you're gonna have some fun this summer. Uh, people from North Carolina have a heavy almost southernish Texan type accent.
Well, that probably didn't help but I hope I gave you a little bit of an idea.

use yall a lot.
also instead of saying "im getting ready to.." or "im about to.." say "im fixin to.."
north carolinas accents are not very very super southern, just a little bit. so dont make it sound over the top. hope you win. =]

Honestly, if you only lived there for the first 5 years of your life, even with a good fake accent, they'll know better.

I don't know how to tell you to talk, but good luck with your bet.
