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.

Waffffer thin mint 😏

We're going to "Stunenngge" this weekend Even DS pronounces it "Stunenngge" and he's never seen Spinal Tap.

The dog saying sausages was originally seen on That's Life.
I'll often answer the kids with "I know nothing" in the style of Manuel from Fawlty Towers.

I may be starting to say huge as a New York "yuge"..

Waffer thin mint, yes!

Just reading the rest of the thread.

In answer to " what's that"I will sometimes say "I dont know, (it's all covered in muck)" in a nasal northern accent.
I picked it up from a dialogue between the KP friars over identifying a potato!

The abbot says "it's a potato" in a posh voice so the kids get that when we are peeling spuds!

Butter for me, in a dreadful French accent (with a dropped 't', goodness knows why). Like "bu'eeeeerrrrrr"!

If passing e.g dinner things/drinks amongst family, we also have to say "pour ou?" "Oui, pour moi!" in terrible French accents.

Omg, so many! Two spring to mind but know we say loads!
" i want that one"(said like Andy from little Britain)
"look at moi! " (Kath from Kath and Kim)
"How very dare you!" ( Catherine Tate character, can't remember his name)
This thread is really funny, thanks OP!

I am also a craggy islander when it comes to any of arse, feck , girls, nuns. It is surprising how often these words come up in daily conversation.

"look at moi! " (Kath from Kath and Kim)

Ha. We have 'it's nice, unusual' here.

I say fillum (film ) and windy sill (window sill) in Glaswegian accent because of my DM
Baguette is always le baguette in French accent.
Descriptions of any baking I'm doing involves a stupid narrative in a southern twangy drawl about Mumma making the damn finest cookies you ever did taste.

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

But it does sound very satisfying, @drigon!** I enjoyed saying it out loud in my finest hybrid variant 

I have a similar accent mashup for the phrase, "it's not-a rocket soi-ence", which I think was something Ola Jordan used to say to Chris Hollins on Strictly in her fabulous Polish/London way!

Glad there are some people as daft as me, Soren! Thought of another one: always say " Amazin'" in an Alex-Jones-from-The-One-Show voice.

I say Woolacombe like I'm saying Salaam Alukum.

Chorizo.

I used to say "chorritzo", in my native South Dublin accent. But I work with a Spanish guy, and after years of being mocked by him, I now say "jurreeetho". Which causes me to be mocked by everyone else.

Ambience is always, always said how Micky Flanagan says it with a very heavy French accent.
Also applies to: Restaurant.

‘I like it a lot’ from Dumb and Dumber.

Beautiful is always booootttyyyyfull lime larry lamb and the turkey in gavin and stacey.

If I am calling someone dapper I always say it in a cockney accent. Unsure why.

Reading this thread I’ve realised I dip into other accents constantly I do most of the above!

We also do ‘y’arright luv?’ in a northern accent (originally from corrie or emmerdale I think!) when we enter a room and the other person is there.

‘Leeave it, ‘e ain’t worf it’ - eastenders brawl

I frequently speak to the kids in either a meerkat voice or the voice of Gru. I often say ‘sssshhh not so loud!’ in my best meerkat voice (when he’s looking after the baby meerkat) to shouty DS.

And of course through Basil style gritted teeth in a Basil voice whenever I’m pretending to be annoyed “Thank YOU! Thank you very bloody much!”

Thought of another one “Tidy” in a welsh accent from Gavin & Stacey and “Oh! Oh!” Aka Nessa whenever anyone is doing something they shouldn’t be or I want DH’s attention.

Anything vaguely cupboard-y is an 'armoire' in a faux french accent
And 'out out' is said in a mockney accent ('aht aht')

It’s too daaaarngeroos daaaahling!

Said like Bubbles from little Britain but the more we say it and repeat it the more foreign it gets.

Oh I do enjoy the Ozzie accented Gazebo!!

Great to see other Kath & Kim fans on here.

We do a lot of Kath and Kimming in this house. Very hard to write phonetically!

I sometimes say baby like boybay. I don't know why.

If I say Dudly I say it like Dud-lie and Birmingham with what sounds to me like a Birmingham accent. Same as if I say I'm alright. I don't come from or ever visit Birmingham.

I sometimes talk like the bfg, as in I is instead of I am.

I often find myself talking like Manuel from Fawlty Towers, e.g. I know naaaathing. naaaaTHING! Or basil with a very hard S sound.

This prob doesnt count but my mil always says 'me dad' even though she uses 'my' in every other occasion. Why!!!???

I can only say "absolutely fantastic" in Gary Barlows voice.

“Noice, noice, unusual” and “Look at moi” Kath and Kim stylee
Aboot like the Canadians
Heid like the Scots.
My husband and I also (over) pronounce croissants exactly as we were taught by a lady in the bakery in Normandy, who was very unimpressed at my husbands butchering of the French language. It gives us a few strange looks in our local Costa.
