I am about to blog about a topic that was first brought up a funny young blogger by the name of Steph, who talks almost as much sh*t as I do…Don’t hurt me for speaking on this subject…But once you read this, you’ll see why I had to do it.
I’m here to talk about British accents.
Why does a British accent generally make a woman 10 times sexer than usual? That sound is a TURN ON. It’s almost as if the fact that the accent sounds so proper makes you just want to get that woman to say something dirty. Back at Hampton, there was this lady in my painting class with the SEXIEST British accent I have ever heard. All she had to do was say “Hello Leon” in the morning, and I’d have instant heavy-d*ck. She was beautiful, but the accent is what did it for me. She had a boyfriend so I left her alone, but for some reason I thought about her out of the blue this past week.
The thing that brought this topic back on my mind is the lady that I am working with on this proposal right now. She doesn’t really do anything for my physically, but her voice is about the sexiest one I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s like a black Lara Croft from Tomb Raider or something…I think I need to take a European Vacation like Chevy Chase and them back in the ’80s.
The flipside of this is, why is a British accent on a man the most UNINTIMIDATING thing on Earth? Whenever I hear a man with a British accent speak, the first thing I think is, “Listen to this punk @ss b*tch.”
I’m serious, if I did not know what Lennox Lewis looked like, I would not be intimidated by him in the least bit. Like if he talked some trash to me while my back was turned, I’d be like “Don’t make me slap the sh*t out you, ‘ol soft @ss girly-man!”
Then I’d turn around and see that big, muscle-bound bohemoth of a whup @ss machine and be like “Uhhh…my bad, homie. Yes you CAN dance with my date. Rub her booty a little…she likes that.” Then I’d run like Hell.
Alright..maybe I wouldn’t go out that punkish, but for real…Fighting that guy would be my FINAL choice of actions. The odds of me hurting that fellow are not very high at all.
On a TOTALLY unrelated note, I saw a poem today which MAY or MAY NOT be ispired by my site…The author, George Edward Tait claims that it’s about Leon Thomas(whoever that is), but you be the judge.
THE LEON LIGHT
(For Leon Thomas)
by George Edward Tait
Into the neon night
Is the Leon Light -
Midnight starlight on a sunlit soundstage -
Spiritsongs of blues, ballads, bop, and beyond.
Listen to Leon -
Icon of incandescent innovation
Touched by the traditional tones of triumph,
Listen to Leon -
Look at the Light.
Within the gates of grassroots glory
Leon lived&laughed&loved -
A wise man walking on the warrior side of the street
A Light throughout the day; a Light through the night
A Light in Lenox Terrace; A Light in Lenox Lounge
An always answer to constant community calls
A ghetto Light; a global Light.
Listen to Leon;
Look at the Light.
Legions listened to Leon’s lyrical Light
& legions listened to Leon’s liberation Light.
But the Light bill was never paid
As Leon’s Light kept shining through time & transition
Our procrastination turning into posthumous payment
As we became the song symbolizing the Deity demand
That we share our Light throughout the land
Making the Leon Light and the Legion Light combine
As Leon sings, “Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”
As usual your posts are hilarious, but on the male with english accents thing , you must be talking about upper class, British accents, dont mistake Britain for the few representatons the media give you
Maaan… you’re on point with Lennox Lewis. I can’t stand the way that muhfukka talks. That fool be talkin’ in a British accent one minute and a Jamaican one the next. How you gonna be a Heavyweight Champion and be soft spoken? That shit just wasn’t right. I wanted to jump through the TV screen and holler out “Man Up Lennox… Man Up!”
@ The future, probably so. I am referring to that “Mr. Bentley” from the Jeffersons kind of accent. Like that upper-crust type…LOL.
I really want to visit Britain one day…It looks like a beautiful country…Plus I hear it’s pretty fun.
@ Nahlaterz, plenty of folks underesimated him due to the accent and got laid out…LOL. Ask Hasim Rahman about his remach with Lennox…LMAO
i’m all in panera bread laughing all loud at your azz. dude i have a friend… a brazilian chick at athat… who has a brit accent (she was raised there). not only is her voice kinda smoky like Bre on America’s Next Top Model (even if you dont watch the show i know you seen her pretty chocolate azz talking in the commercials) but she’s got all that proper british ish poppin.
i once told her “if i could f*ck your voice i would.” she’s british phone sex. VIVA MELADA!
I gotta agree.
British accent = soft
Somewhere that took root for me too, but the Aussie accent always makes me think of those g*ddamn crockidiles, and that crazy mofo the crock hunter.
And the infamous line:
“That’s not a knife this is a knife“
LOL @ Trueborn
Hollywood is ruining our generation! I picture those same stereotypes half the time…LOL. It’s fucked up.
Loved your post and definitly agree that american men are suckers for a British accent. I think that is why they put Carmen Ejogo (she played Alean in HBO’s 2005 “Lackawanna Blues”) in Eddie Murphy’s and Martin Lawrence’s lackluster movies, “Metro” and “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?” I somewhat agree with your view of the male british accents, but I must admit I just love it when I hear these actors speak:
Chiwetel Ejiofor (“Dirty Pretty Things”, “Amistad” as Ens. Covey, the translator, and “Love Actually”), Even with a scar on his forehead, the brother is sexy.
Idris Elba (“The Gospel” and “The Wire”) Whose accent is rarely heard during American media interviews, usually when he is not trying to disguise it. There is something about his “So Cool” persona….
Roger Moore- I know I am going so old school, but he is my second all time favorite James Bond, after Sean Connery.
And last of all, the infamous Hugh Grant who has a widely known affinity for chocolate (Remember Divine Brown?) although he won’t admit it officially. Seems like most american men share your view. According to the IMDb, “On the set of Mickey Blue Eyes (1999), James Caan gave Hugh the nickname of Whippy, because Caan said he worried about everything like “the little whippet dogs that get nervous and you got to put a sweater on them when they’re cold”. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000424/bio)
Despite everything, there is something I find so sexy about the guy when he opens his mouth, even when he is making an ass of himself, on and off film.
I agree with Future, I noticed a distinct difference in London between upper class accents and regular folks. I met some really cool brothers over there with a very nice roll to their accents, and Idris Elba can most certainly whisper sweet nothings in my ear any old time he likes. I actually liked Lennox’s accent too.
*sighs* I must be getting old. The little things just don’t mean as much as they used to. One thing in particular I found especially warming was listening to individuals speaking with a little color, AND clarity. Ya dig?
That poem is curious huh????
things that make u go hmmm????
Dude I’m all about the british accents..one of the reasons why I keep going back. The dudes there are hmmm yummy. Accents, dress, walk you name it they have IT.
British accents are sexy, especially when they’re spoken by the likes of men like Idris Elba and Eamonn Walker.
I never have even heard Lennox Lewis talks, but i’ll take your word for it
narcissus was his name
I love the combination accent of someone whose family is from the west indies but they grew up in london…ahhhhh yessss.
Don’t sleep… My cousins are from London and when they came to the ATL a year ago all they had to do was talk and say “hello, mate” and women were all over them.. I wish I had that accent
Accents in general do it for me… British and French are good foreplay languages. They get me in the mood… but Spanish? woooooo… give me an ‘Aye Papi’ or ‘Da me castigo’ at the right moment… and I am over the edge. lol
Western european accents… no dice. Portuguese doesn’t do it for me either. Guess its strictly all about the romance languages for me.
(well minus portuguese and italian that is… lol)
