Even though I live in the deep south (born and raised in New Orleans and living in Florida now), I would have answered that question with an adamant NO! Well, guess what my friends, now you can answer the question for me. =)
I saw this yesterday on Life After I Dew and loved it. Like, seriously LOVED it. I knew I wanted to try my hand at these little words and phrases and share it with y'all! Um . . . Or you guys . . . Or youse guys. Or however all of you out there say it. =)
Here's what I'm doing:
Say these words:
Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theatre, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting Image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught
And answer these questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when ran falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you use to change the TV channel?
Um, so yeah, that's it! =) I hope y'all have a great weekend!

OH! I watched your video after I posted. So, do you have an accent? A little. I only hear it on some words though (sprinklin', mayonnaise and spittin'). Definitely not a strong accent. And I grew up calling all sodas "coke" too. Probably until high school.
Oh my gosh! I loved this! Kayla and I were just talking about you yesterday when you say "y'all" in our comments and we were wondering if you had an accent. This is so darn cute! Maybe we will have to do this over the weekend. Have a great holiday weekend, Tiffany!

LOVE this and I am so glad it was my first post to read on reader because I immediately smiled:) I am going to have to post a accent video as well. I would say that you have a slight southern accent and I LOVE it. I secretly have always wanted to sound a little southern and I do find myself saying y'all at times by accident;)

Congratulations on getting featured! I don't really detect an accent, only in a few words just like what Kish said! We all have accents...I grew up listening to both my parents speak English with Chinese accent, not that strong but you detect it. It's character :D
hahahaha! "I just scream for my husband and he kills it." You cracked me up like crazy.
You're just as adorable on video as you are in pictures. :)
And I can't detect any accent. :)
well I'm from canada! But yeah, I find you have an accent compared to me/how people talk here. But it's mostly our expressions that are different, for example, "y'all" is really american, just like "eh?" is canadian and how you say some words are different like "sure, new orleans, carmel" and some more but other than that you don't really have one.. well atleast not a big one! :P but im sure you'd say the same about me!
I grew up in northern California, and the only words you say differently than I are:
sure (you say shore, I say shur)
y'all (you all or you guys)
buggy (cart)
So, different, but not a strong accent!
Not a major southern accent but a little twang! ;) But I'm from Boston... so everything I say is very similar to Boston Rob (for those Survivor fans out there)... as for the words:
TP'ing
Gross?? haha
Soda
Sneakers (yeah, more like sneakahs

Oh goodness... you are just too adorable. I can detect a little bit of a southern accent in your voice but not too much. Just cuteness, that's all :)

i would love to borrow your vid idea for my blog
i will totally give you credit and link back to your blog

So cool to see and hear you on video! After reading blogs for awhile I often want to know what the writer sounds like. I think you have a bit of an accent on some words, but for the most part you sound like a true westerner, like myself. People in WA laugh at me when I say y'all. I just think it sounds better than you all or you guys.
ha! my answers are all the same, obviously since I live in new orleans! LOL
