Americans: you sometimes wonder if british people talk in an american accent to pretend to be something, like we talk in a british accent to pretend to be fancy, amirite?

To confirm; yes, we do.

what to you pretend to be?

Probably stupid. And fat. Just a guess

All Americans are stupid in the same way all Brits are fancy - so yeah, I'd have to agree with Spalliston.

@partino - nice! zing! When I put on an American voice I'm definitely pretending to be something...I'm pretending to be American, duh! haha

I just use a British voice for the sake of using it. There's not much of a reason for it; I don't pretend to be fancy when I do it.

Usually when I put on an American voice I'm usually pretending to be a hick or a dumb bimbo "omg no way" etc

Why are you getting downvoted? No person- British, American or anything- can tell me they haven't spoken in a really fake country/high pitched bimbo voice to drive home a point or to make fun of someone/something.

I use an accent all the time but I'm not pretending to be anything, I just say some words or phrases in an american accent. It's fun :D

Yeah I think they do it for dumb impression

British guys probably do it trying to sound like a douche bag and British girls probably do it as a stupid blonde impression.

From what I've heard from most people, that's quite accurate. But you can do equally as damning impressions using British accents. You can effect a total twat male aristo voice showing as much ignorance of real life as the bimbo does. Or girls in the US could effect an essex slapper accent to show a chav slut trying desperately to get her sniz pounded by some equally ugly chav boy so she can have a baby and get on social welfare

Yeah all I can say in a British accent is "hello" and a fail "can you pass me the tea please". :(

This is applicable, right? My sister's friend had a British dude staying with her and we kept asking him stuff like, "Do they have Harry Potter in England?" or "Have you ever heard of the Beatles. They're a pretty good band." It was funnier in person wary

I always imagined what the Brits think of Canadians or do they just forget us altogether?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

When my friend and I speak in British accents, we always say the stereotypical stuff like "Can you please pass the tea and crumpets?" I didn't even know what those were until I Googled it.

I have crumpets with peanut butter. Does tham make them seem less posh to you?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

I've only just recently learned what 'posh' meant too! But no, I think that's even more posh than before.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Really? I thought everyone used that. Why is it more posh? It would be posh to have crumpets with tea cups and saucers, not to have them with peanut butter and drinking squash

by Anonymous 11 years ago

The fact that you eat crumpets at all is posh in and of itself.

Fair enough
