I had a Chicago accent a few years back, and my mother would comment on it over and over at any given time. My brother and I would make fun of it. Then I moved to California, and I might have a Californian accent, but I'm not really sure. No one has commented on it. My brother and I make fun of Californian accents too - they say it "taaahhh coe," with a really long ahh, instead of the normal taco. I guess I do it a little like that. That sucks. Anyway, I'll have to ask someone if I have a definitive accent later.
California is pretty strange.

Like I said about "taco." If we're going by mispronounced words here though, I have a "reading accent," when you read a lot and don't know how words are really pronounced because you've only seen them in print. Like Pie-gee-on (pigeon) or port-CUE-less [portcullis].
Again, you never heard the word pigeon in conversation??? As in, "These damn pigeons are everywhere, they crap on everything" or "I heard that if you feed Alka-Seltzer to pigeons..." ?

Well, not entirely. I look down on my Californian accent [which is not, and I repeat, not a valley girl accent], but I don't get teased or whatever about it. When we start talking about Californian accents, the aforementioned Valley Girl accent always comes up, which is def. good times to make fun of. Sometimes I hear people who actually have one, and I think "Are they serious?"
Some of them are...last time I was visiting my brother in Laguna Beach I heard those accents a few times and could tell they were not performing for anyone.
