Y'know, I've always wondered. Growing up with television, I know how to mock just about every accent there is. British, Middle Eastern, Indian, Dutch, French, Yiddish, you name it. The one thing I've always wondered but never found out is:
Exactly what does an "American" accent sound like? I mean, as an American, I know how to mock regional accents ("Oh yah, you betcha hon." in Minnesota, "Fuhgettaboutit! I'm walkin' here!" in New York, "Like, dude, totally." in California, etc.), but as for you non-American folks, in what sort of manner would you mock America in a generic/stereotypical way? Now that I'm on an international forum, I might as well ask.
I'm suspecting the common answer will be a Southern accent ("Yee-haw! Howdy y'all! Imma go rustle me up some grub!"), but what about if you discount this one?
Edited for proper grammar and whatnot.
