Fob - The most annoying accent!

Fob (Fresh-Off-the-Boat Accent)
The accent where the "F" sound is replaced with a "P" sound and a "V" sound is replaced with a "B".

Yes, I'm sure you English-Speaking Filipinos and Indos know what I'm talking about! My cousins don't have the accent but the family before us sure do(parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.)

I just had a family occasion thing going last Saturday and man during the program, all our old folks were singing n stuff with the Kareoke(a machine I wish the Japanese never invented ). Man it was horrible! So me and my cuz decided to poke fun at it by singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in a Fob accent. That was pretty funny.

About 5 years before, I was at my Grandma's birthday party. Well it was all great except for one thing. The damn DJ and the singer singing Mambo#5. !@#$%^&*( The pain to the brain continued for an hour during the program.

The Fobs stuff. I wanted to post one of those thing but I couldn't find a Link to the "what are you"

I was reading something and a fob says... (made up from a website)
A teacher wanted the students to use Green, Pink and Yellow in a sentence so...

"I heard the phone go green, green, green, so I pink up the phone and go yellow

The most irritating accent to me is phillipino. No offense to the flips here, I just can't understand a damn thing that some of them say, but some might say the same about my english.

I agree. The Pakistani accent is most FOB-ish but you get used to it .

re: Fob - The most annoying accent!

My parents can speak English perfectly fine, no silly accent stuck with it. Same with the rest of the family.

Me? Haha. Been wondering about that. I don't use English in most of my conversations, so I'll never know.

You people should hear English-Chinese-Malay accent. I've heard it so much, I can understand the whole thing.

My parents aren't that bad but I just find it very funny. Now my grandparents trying to speak English is hilarious. No offense but when you go to like Chinatown and when they speak english, I just crack up.

re: Fob - The most annoying accent!

I gotta say Vietnamese. It sounds like they are mumbling and moaning. My friend James said its not really the words but how you say it.

re: Fob - The most annoying accent!

I bet a Vietnamese accent is annoying to you non Viets, although I am verrrry acustomed to it, because I have it, Im sure some people find it annoying. No one other than Viets and a few others can understand exactly what Im saying.

re: Fob - The most annoying accent!

OMG, when I was in my cousin's house in LA, my Aunt put in this Filipino tape and thise track came with this Filipino nerd freestyling. It was the most horrible thing ever. It was more of a white rap in tagalog.

Not only was I listening to this but my aunt was forcing me and everyone in the car to listen to in in MY TRUCK's STEREO. I was already beginning to drive like a maniac and I was ready to shove the tape out my window.
