How about Northside Dubliners picking a Dub Southside accent to sound posher, or Southsiders picking a Northside Dub accent to sound more gangsta? It's an actual thing. ^^

Speaking of Irish accents! First time I heard someone with a Cork accent I lost my shit. It sounds exactly like a Scanian (Southern Sweden) person speaking with an Irish accent. It's delightful.

British - fancy

America - normal

Australia - wildcard

America should be Eevee, because there are so many opportunities for variation.

I'd mix everything just for kicks :)

I'm not even aware of what my accent sounds like. Probably a weird amalgamation of everything.

They're talking about native English speakers. Did you really not get that? There are also a lot of Chinese people, try yelling that out of context, also.

I've done so many accents at this point I don't even know what my real accent is anymore, but people always think I'm actually from New York or New Jersey until I start talking.
