Probably means a Southern accent.
- atwebb 12y agoOdd, I'm Southern and thought he meant Northern...
- duaneb 12y agoWhat exactly is a northern accent? Is that a midwest accent crossed with a new england accent crossed with a new jersey accent?
- nervousvarun 12y agoSoutherner here: A "northern accent" classically means any accent from the larger northeastern cities. Boston, Jersey, they're all subsets of "northern" to the Southern brain. What's funny is I live in Nola and the traditional New Orleans "Yatty" accent sounds "northern" to me (somewhere in Brooklyn to be specific).
- atwebb 12y agoI think similar to the Southern mentioned above, I almost said New York (meaning city) but then realized I probably don't know the exact specification for a NYC accent and was just generalizing really so put Northern and called it a day.
