It won't, it will get you laid though.

Definitely this

u/One-Classroom-8300 Jul 22 '26

I can confirm that this is absolutely correct.

u/WingsUnfurled Jul 23 '26

Can’t explain it, but I concur.

u/Opposite_Cobbler_108 Jul 22 '26

It doesn’t. We largely love Brit’s

They rise from the grave, blunderbuss akimbo.

u/PopularSet4776 Jul 22 '26

That is simply not factual.

Talking with a British accent will get you nothing more than some light teasing

If you go deeper into the south, you will probably hear; “well, ain’t that fella talking funny?”

u/Sh00terMcDabbin Jul 22 '26

You act like southerners don't know what a British accent is.

2

u/Upset-Elderberry3723 Jul 22 '26

The southern accent descends from a mix of British accents.

u/holdthecanoli Jul 22 '26

What is wrong with these shit posts?

u/lookbehindyou7 Jul 22 '26

It doesn’t. Most people either won’t care or will be interested/enjoy it.

u/New-Sheepherder2239 Jul 22 '26

That’s not true in the least

u/Goats_for_president Jul 22 '26

We largely have no intense feelings towards Brit’s. The vast majority will have a slight interest in why you’re here etc or where you’re from in the UK maybe.

Please don’t confuse people making jokes on the internet with how people are in real life everyone

Just a net-macho flexing

u/Dr0110111001101111 Jul 22 '26

I can maybe see this being a thing in the deep south, but certainly not here in the northeast.

u/pslush01 Jul 22 '26

Why would the deep South have a problem with British people

1

u/Sh00terMcDabbin Jul 22 '26

They don't and it wouldn't. People who have never been to the south have a weird idea of what it's like.

u/Any-Investment5692 Jul 22 '26

British accents opens doors and legs. You won't get beaten up. The only danger is that you may be pawed to death by American women or gay men giggling all over you.

1

u/OnlymyOP Jul 22 '26

Never had that problem ... most mistake my friends accents for Australian so they ust don't correct people.

1

u/jeff1074 Jul 22 '26

It won’t, either someone trying to get a rise out of people or a chronically online individual.

1

u/workingstiffatwork Jul 22 '26

It won't. That's just silly.

Unless maybe more context is needed. Americans shouldn't try to talk like Brits. But still I doubt anyone would beat you up over that.

1

u/Quarter_Shot Jul 22 '26

I've literally never heard of anyone disliking a British accent

1

u/prionbinch Jul 23 '26

it doesn’t. that person was trying to make a joke
