One of my best college professors was a soft-spoken Southern man. By the time he was in college he had almost completely lost his accent because he went to boarding school in the Northeast as a child/teen and people there assumed he was a moron whenever he spoke.

SkinsGuy Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hey, if you get the "Comet" television channel on cable (they show sci-fi/horror TV show and movies), they started showing classic episodes of "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" tonight. They are showing a classic one right now "Manos: The Hand of Fate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my head I knew it was in English with a deep Southern accent but for the life of me have no idea what he said. I'd prob say that it's possible that people thought he was a moron.

So he came across as a moron...because of the accent? From my understanding, yes. Granted this is all coming from his perspective with only his side of the story, but I think it's reasonably believable. My impression is that people from the North and the coasts tend to look at people from the deep South as uneducated. Apparently he was picked on quite a bit at first. Whether the comments specifically connected his accent and his "intelligence" I don't know obviously. I gather they might have, because he certainly took it that way. (And in fairness to all involved, I should mention that he is a pleasant person, a successful professor and married with kids. Near as I can tell he is as much at peace with his life as anyone else. He only brought it up because some students were surprised to learn that he grew up in the South. It's not like he opened the course by shaking his fists at those damn Yankee boarding schools.)

Corcaigh Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's a known phenomenon, and not just from northerners. The Europeans have the same prejudice when they hear a US southern accent. I've heard southern academics talk about it at conferences. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/why-does-a-southern-drawl-sound-uneducated-to-some/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornaSkinsFan83 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Why the **** are Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham constantly in my newsfeed and why the **** are they talked about like they're the leading voices of a generation? I keep trying to figure out why the hell I should care about them and keep finding nothing. Keep waiting for them to do something funny or cool and nada. Granted I haven't seen their shows but I also haven't met anyone who has either. Not that I know anyway (so nobody is talking about them.) Yet there they are, day after day, in my newsfeed, with some new dumb **** that they've done. So tell me, why should I care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 So the good news post surgery is that the pain has subsided considerably since yesterday. Now my main concern is finding a balance between stepping down my pain pills too quickly and staying on them too long. Im reading stuff (on the Internet. Which is dangerous) about opioid addiction.

I can understand like 6 languages and what came out of his mouth was garbled to the max. Tbf, I think that about a lot of people in Pittsburgh when they talk in their regional, slack-jawed, casually racist way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I don't understand why people drift 4 mph through parking areas for 5 minutes looking for a spot 50 yards closer than what I found in 5 seconds. Holy jumpin ****, your ass NEEDS to take an extra 50 yards of a walk (50,000, actually). And who here zips diagonally through parking lots and drives down the wrong direction of one-way parking lot lanes? I don't like you anymore. I'm in a gated community, it has doors with button codes. There's a guy who has a raised Jeep with a police spotlight on it. I park on the side street and come in through one of the coded gates every time I come home. He always parks super close to people with his Jeep. If anyone else was a douchebag parker, it could box somebody in like I parked and got out of my car as him and his girlfriend were walking out of the gate door. Strike 1: He left the gate door wide open. This is a strange phenomena. People have the benefit of a gate encircling their community, but just say "**** it all" and leave that **** swingin. What the ****? Close the door now, little Timmy. Jesus Christ! Strike 2: The close-proximity parking. Strike 3: Goes up to the 4-lane intersection with no stoplights; just a lone stop sign for our street, notorious for T-bone accidents, and doesn't use his LEFT TURN signal. I repeat: LEFT TURN. You ****in COOL PERSON. TOO COOL. Oh, and I bet that linebacker who plays with one facemask bar lowered down like Scott Norwood's that you call a GIRLFRIEND gives great Jeep skull.
