I’m sorry, I tried explaining the directions in my indica accent and that’s why we now have 3 doggy gates instead of new coffee table.

When a Native American person talks like other Native Americans from the reservations, only little language.

When you're so exhausted that you listen to a person with an accent speak and it sounds like they're speaking another language.
I stayed up for twenty hours straight and now English people sound French, holy shit, I was totally accent tripping.

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!
Oh, he’s been watching too much Trailer Park Boys, he’s developing a TV Accent

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.
