One of several Ohio accents (believe it or not, there are many), and the one used in the speech of the late Phyllis Diller, retired Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, retired news anchor Jim Baldridge, and the guy who wrote the Nobody's Property manga series, all of whom were either born and/or in the last example, grew up, in or near Lima.
Also how the characters in the cast of Glee talk.
People with a Lima accent generally have the following traits:
* They ALWAYS pronounce the I in Lima, Ohio like "pie" not "pea"!!!!! In fact, kids who grow up near Lima, Ohio often mispronounce Lima, Peru at first, which is pronouced the other way.
* They tend to sound like people who are on the news, as this is often mistaken for the "Ohio accent" that everyone in broadcasting school is taught.
* A little bit of the North Central (more Michigan infused than Wisconsin/Minnesota - we don't do that thing with the Os or say don't you know -but it's not always clear whether someone with a Lima accent is saying merry, marry, or Mary at times if they say one of these.
* Groceries is pronounced GROSSeries, not GROSHeries, god damn it! If you pronounce it the other way, you might be mistaken for someone from Cleveland or Dayton. The ones in Ohio or Tennessee!
* They also know that Bellefontaine, Ohio is pronounced Bell-fountain not bella-fon-tayn.

1: I'm going to LEE-mah, Ohio.
2: It's LIE-mah.
1: Are you sure?
2: Yeah.
1: I'm pretty sure it's LEE-MAH.
2: Yeah. I'm from LIE-mah. Well, I grew up at Indian Lake, which is like half an hour from Lima, anyway. I actually have a Lima accent. Most people who grew up there do.
1: Isn't that near BELLA-FON-TAYN? I lived there for years!
2: Bullshit...if you had, you'd know the locals pronounce it BELL-FOUNTAIN.

Get the Lima accent mug.A TV Accent is a branch of “social mirroring”that occurs when someone consumes media in such a volume that they form a disjointed ”accent” consisting of multiple dialect notes and slang from multiple locations.
Why did Jack say “smokes” instead of cigarettes? And in a Canadian accent to boot? We’re from Virginia!

Get the TV Accent mug.The biggest marker in media that everything that's being said is a lie. Ask other Europeans about it.
The way the actual accent is spoken in england, northern & republic of ireland (the latter technically not in uk) (all DE-CAPITALIZED) is actually undignified & unintelligent sounding as opposed to how they make themselves appear in all media the british intelligence agency is pushing into the North American entertainment market (that's ALL they do in that agency). They'd do away with cana-duh, if they could, really. Why the American public opinion shaping agency, the cia (DE-CAPITALIZED), keeps on helping, I cannot fathom. Then again, they are the Company (CAPITALIZED).
The other Celts, the Welsh & Scots, are the ones that speak it like they really do love the sound of their own voice, because they hear tones well. Artfully grammatically correct too, unlike the grammar school going english that hardly could utter proper grammar — stay in england awhile.
It's this impulse in them to push forward their thinking, because they are above you, no matter the complete lack of basis for that impression. So they stress words, raise their tones, snarl & grunt, as if that would force you to submission. More of enabling a primal impulse that they've refined to an art.

Get the british accent mug.A way of speaking that derives out of Westwood, New Jersey. It involves saying every sentence like it's a question. As you are speaking through a sentence it starts to get higher and higher pitched. A very common response using the Westwood accent is "k ya you, right?" and "What are you talking about" with "talking about" being very high pitched. People with this accent also love to say "Try again" after responding to anyone about anything as a sign of disrespect. You might even hear them add "Ski" to the end of every last word of a sentence, but this is only if they fuck with you. The origins of the accent come out of Westwood High School with pioneers like Nicholas Galli, Justin Boesch, Connor "Kanye" Abbott, and many others. Many words in English get replaced using this accent such as the word "Gay" changing to the term "Atlanta". And someone who is a "Fiend" being referred to as a "Chiefer" and so on. If you are trying to learn how to speak with this accent you need to learn how to speak with a thick New Jersey/ New York accent and practice saying everything as a question.
Westwood Accent:
Person A: Yo Galli lets go for a toke?
Person B: Nah Nah. Not with youski!
Person A: What are you talking about? (Higher pitched as you go through the sentence)
Person B: You are just a Chiefer McStever
Person A: K ya you, Right? Try again!
Person B: Shut up! You are so Atlanta bro, Foh Bih!
Person A: Fine! More bud for me'ski!
