The imaginary being of...who came up with that anyway? No where in Jersey do people speak with that awful accent that sounds like a crushing mix of Italian and New York accents.
ignant person- Hey, where ya from?
Jersian- Jersey
ignant (in "Joisey" accent)- Haaaaay! How you doin'? Why don't you have a Joisey accent? What part of New Jersey are you from?
Jersian- No one has that stupid accent
ignant (still in accent) What do ya mean, everybody knows that's how ya talk in Joisey!
Jersian- *sigh*
*smacks ignant person*

The language spoken on the streets of Baltimore is one that has been refined over the last 30 years. It's a largely homegrown accent, and it's one that's mainly confined to the city and its black suburbs. A person from Baltimore never pronounces the T. It's more like Ball-di-more, or usually just B-More. Yo often, unnecessarily, begins AND ends many sentences.
-Switching Vowels-
Words like red, bed, and dead are pronounced with Is: red=rid, bed=bid, dead=did. Chair sounds more like "cheer" in Baltimore. Orange sounds more like "oinch"!
-Adding Consonants-
It's hard to explain what happens to words like too, blue, or do. It comes out with an added r somewhere, and the actual sound can't be accurately spelled.
-New Words-
In the late 90s, young Baltimoreans could be heard calling "Ay yerp" in all corners of the city. In context it sounds more like yerp=yo
-Altered Definitions-
Many definition changes are related to crime. For example, the movie "Blow" brought national recognition to a nickname of cocaine. However, ask for "blow" in Baltimore, and you'll get served heroin. Drug cops are "knockers". To get "plucked" is to be punched. Sneakers are always tennis shoes, or just "tennis" for short. Braids are almost always "plaits". A whore in Baltimore is not a prostitute, he or she is a coward. Even Baltimorean children have slang. Cut or budge in line and you'll be told not to "rude in line".
Baltimore Accent examples:
"Somebody gotta go get a hack (illegal cab) so we can go out the county (the suburbs).
"A yo, you seen Mike, yo?"
"Yo just got plucked by one of them dirty ass knockers."

What most people call the dialect spoken in Staten Island, Bayonne and parts of Long Island. The actual Northern NJ accent today is a mellowed version of a New York Accent, which in itself has its origins in the original British accent. (As NY was a Tory region for so long.) NYers tend to drop their R's more than NJers but otherwise pronounce words like coffee and talk as (kawfey) and (tawk) And New York like Nu-yawk.)
With So many hundreds of thousands of people moving to and from the NYC metro area every year, The traditional Jersey Accent has all but disappeared.

Technically, any one of the many accents and dialects spoken in the British Isles - Technically. But only use it if you know and respect this fact. Never use "Britain" as a substitute for England in case you offend the Celts who will probably beat the crap out of you for your troubles (Being Welsh myself, I can pretty well guarantee it)
It is not specifically "English Accent". If you want to say someone has an English Accent. Then it is common sensical to say "English Accent" as opposed to the potentially irritating generalization.
Make no mistake. I, for one, and many others like me will not let you use the term "Britsh Accent" (OR British anything else where you actually should have said English)
without some form of protest. Be it verbal or physical.
There are no examples because the "British Accent" is a non-entity.

The "Jersey" accent, which only the Italians living very close to New York actually have, yet is misconstruded to represent the whole state.
Yeah, I'm from Jersey. Sojo, actually. Don't have the Joisey accent. You want that, go up to Noith Joisey.

sliced in half.
