Any words or phrases you always say in a foreign accent?

[A580Hojas]

By foreign accent I mean foreign to you, obviously, before anyone gets the arse about accents being foreign.

For example, I always say fillum instead of film because I just love that and it probably harks back to my boyfriend from Northern Ireland who I lived with for a few years. I also always say Norn Iron.

And I also always have to say Stonehenge as they say it in Spinal Tap, eg exaggerated mockney accent "Stunenngge". It does come up surprisingly often in conversation for me as I go up and down the A303 a fair amount.

Catalogue must always be said in extreme Cockney- ca'a'logg.
So- in a strong Hull accent.

For those of you who remember Esther Rantzen programme where she met the dog who could say 'sausages'. Everytime my husband asks 'shall we have sausages tonight', I just cannot help but say it in the same way the dog said it. (this will probably be lost on the younger people reading).
Not really foreign accent as such, but foreign to the way I normally speak 😄

I say a lot of Clouseau-like things too: chimpanzee minky, licence, bomb.

I say Dudley in a Dudley accent too.

I can't mention gateau without referencing a gateau in the chateau from 'Allo 'Allo.

I also mention that that things are getting up my goat in an Aussie accent like Kath & Kim.

I always say ‘for fucks sake’ in a Scottish accent. Feels like it makes more of an impact.

Not sure how to spell but I always say ‘ridiculaas, a!’ (Pheobe when she’s the French nurse in a previous life)

Loads of the above, especially from the Fast Show, clouseau, etc.
We also say “er ner” in a strong Hull accent and “pass the buh” in exaggerated Cockney. I do the Dudlaaay thing, too!
We always call our colleague Debbie, Deb-BAH, like the Elder in Yonderland.

Ambience in a French accent 😁

Lol at secateurs. We always say it in a French accent since DS decided they got their name when a French bloke was asked what they were and he said they were 'ze cutters'.

@Shadow1234 Thank you! I posted the sausages one earlier with a "where the fuck is that from anyway?"
Much obliged to you for clearing it up!

"Gunt' piss pot" in a Sheffield accent for going to the loo!

My mum likes to shop in Bon Marche and neither my sister or I can speak of the place without affecting an accent.

Not a foreign accent but I can't say 'Gary' without affecting a northern accent for some reason.

The word 'filthy', whenever I'm describing the children's room. "It's FIL-tee". I'm guessing the accent is closest to Dublin but heaven knows why I use it.

Also, the word "lovely", as someone referred to Dr Hamster from Peppa Pig upthread, my daughter can only say, "ahh that's leuv-leh!" It's very cute in a four year old's voice!

@SpoonBlender the 'sausages' in a woof comes from a very old National Lottery advert - I pronounce it the same
And also murrrrderrrrr in Scottish accent and 'shrimp' in an Australian accent.

I always say 'Bob' as it is pronounced in Blackadder :)

I always say 3 hours later ina french accent when ds is taking a long paise in telling me something. Thankyou spongebob lol

Whenever the word "antiques" is mentioned I have to shout "Antiques? What da fuck do I know about antiques?" in a terrible scouse accent.

I think it's from a film (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels?).

Sausage comes out 'saucisson' in a bad french accent!

Forgot the 3 hours later in french accent, Spongebob rocks!!

Whenever we have sausages here someone has to say "Walls" in a dog bark accent (Is there such a thing?)
And we always have to say "Que?" in our best Manuel accent ;)

I say brillyant in a country accent but I don't know why!

Oh, I also can't say, 'give me a minute' to the children when they're rushing me, without turning momentarily East European.

"Gif Me Minnit."

Absolutely no idea where it's from.

Wafer thin mint - with a french accent - obviously.

Couple of Brummie ones: "Roight" for Right and, recently, started saying "Yow" instead of You, as in "Considerably richer than YOW!" (Harry Enfield).

Also say"Contaayner" for "Container" in some ridiculous cod Italian/Greek hybrid accent! Not sure why!

Booooteful in a crap northern accent here. Think it was off an advert when I was growing up.

I think you mean in an East Anglian accent! That's Norfolk turkey farmer Bernard Matthews there.

I lapse into a West Country Miss Rabbit/Nanny Plum voice quite often, when dealing with any sort of customer service situation. We also puzzle Austrian border outlets with our extravagantly French 'vignettes'.

Chagrin is always in French. And I still think about being Amayonaissed about the mayonnaise.
