From which culture?

American...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent

That's not mid-Atlantic you imbecile.

Snobby Harvard posho's trying to be British.

It literally says, in the WIki article:

"A comedic example of this accent appears in the television sitcom Frasier used by the snobbish Crane brothers, who are played by Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce."

They were what the British call "posh", they talk about in the third season when a caller asked where he was from. Did you even watch the show?

Both went to elite US universities for their undergraduate and then studied at prestigious British universities as graduate students.
They sound exactly like those people do.

They just use big words and speak them very clearly and coherently (compared to how the rest of america speaks).

you're a fucking idiot, it's 100% mid-atlantic

My dad said when he first came to america in the 80's he thought people talked like cavemen

>They were what the British call "posh",
Do Yanks not have a word for posh, yet you recognise 'posh' as being an external word? (It's not even 'British', Aussies and Kiwis say 'posh' just as much.)

>Mancunian characters
>S. African actor doing godknows what accent
>American actor doing an East London accent
>Scottish actor doing a Yorkshire accent

Transatlantic accent

See Roosevelt

Your dad must've been a posh british dipshit then, seeing as there's "upper-class" and "lower-class" dialects in all countries.

Lapaglia is Australian. Why did you think he was American?

modern mid Atlantic accent.
at least modern back then.

>posh british dipshit then
he was obviously better than the american goblins he was dealing with.

Clearly he was a beta cuck looking for a new place to live seeing as he realized the crown was fucking dead.

He didn't explicitly say cavemen I should add. Just primitive were the exact words. Slow talking.

>he realized the crown was fucking dead.
sad desu.

Not surprising, seeing as men typically hate the accents of other countries, while women find exotic accents "hot". Probably why men hate brit accents, and girls like brit accents.

american men hate brit accents*

This is what they get for not listening to based Hittles.

>Do Yanks not have a word for posh

Upper-class, hoighty-toighty, stuffy, yuppie, snobby...Basically every single synonym for "posh" is meant as an insult except for like, one.

its a transatlantic accent.
its said they spent a lot of time in England though, Frasier at Oxford and Niles at Cambridge. Maybe they just adopted it too much after watching Brideshead Revisited too many times

ah yes, not like the queen's back in old blighty

Closest was Brian who still did a yorkshire accent but it was almost passable

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY SAYING

That's almost as bad as Californian valley girl accents.

northern yorkshire accent is 1000 years at least. have some respect

There's fossilized human shit that's 14,000 years old which was found in Oregon. I do not revere it, nor that ridiculous accent.

1000 years of sounding as dumb as valley girls

the closest word we have to posh is the acronym WASP
White Anglo-Saxon Protestant

>sounding as dumb
for you

Literally nobody talks like this anymore, yorkshire dialects got completely homogenised over the 20th century and the generations that spoke like that died out over the past 20 years, it's nowhere near this extreme these days

There's a 14,000 year old piece of fossilized human shit in Oregon. I have more respect for that, than some random accent in the middle of nowhere England.

why did you delete your post and redo it?
