One of several Ohio accents (believe it or not, there are many), and the one used in the speech of the late Phyllis Diller, retired Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, retired news anchor Jim Baldridge, and the guy who wrote the Nobody's Property manga series, all of whom were either born and/or in the last example, grew up, in or near Lima.
Also how the characters in the cast of Glee talk.
People with a Lima accent generally have the following traits:
* They ALWAYS pronounce the I in Lima, Ohio like "pie" not "pea"!!!!! In fact, kids who grow up near Lima, Ohio often mispronounce Lima, Peru at first, which is pronouced the other way.
* They tend to sound like people who are on the news, as this is often mistaken for the "Ohio accent" that everyone in broadcasting school is taught.
* A little bit of the North Central (more Michigan infused than Wisconsin/Minnesota - we don't do that thing with the Os or say don't you know -but it's not always clear whether someone with a Lima accent is saying merry, marry, or Mary at times if they say one of these.
* Groceries is pronounced GROSSeries, not GROSHeries, god damn it! If you pronounce it the other way, you might be mistaken for someone from Cleveland or Dayton. The ones in Ohio or Tennessee!
* They also know that Bellefontaine, Ohio is pronounced Bell-fountain not bella-fon-tayn.
1: I'm going to LEE-mah, Ohio.
2: It's LIE-mah.
1: Are you sure?
2: Yeah.
1: I'm pretty sure it's LEE-MAH.
2: Yeah. I'm from LIE-mah. Well, I grew up at Indian Lake, which is like half an hour from Lima, anyway. I actually have a Lima accent. Most people who grew up there do.
1: Isn't that near BELLA-FON-TAYN? I lived there for years!
2: Bullshit...if you had, you'd know the locals pronounce it BELL-FOUNTAIN.

✿ | the day where everyone speaks in their best, fanciest British accent. even if it's mockery or inaccurate, who cares? let's appreciate our brits!
✿ | little conversational example:
“How do you celebrate international British accent day?”
“By making a British accent, duh!”
“How do you make the accent?”
“Google is exis’ing very fine, ol’ chap, I can’t be your Google forever...”
“Oh! I see”
When someone gets tired of fixing incorrectly autocorrected words in text messaging or social media and just goes with it because the audience they are trying to reach will figure out the gist of what you are saying. Considered an accent as most people under 60 understand what you meant, but older people don't and are confused by what you are trying to say.
John's Autocorrect accent was so strong yesterday his grandma flipped out at him on Facebook.
What did his post say?
"Anyone selling girl scout pussies?" We all knew he meant cookies. Poor grandma didn't.
When someone is screaming, raising their voice, and you can tell they are a preacher.
Damn, Mr Jackson Got Preachers Accent.
sounds so bad it makes you want to chop your ears off
American accents are like english if it was an inbred baby with downs syndrome. 99% of american accents make you want to kill yourself the second they open their mouth.
