Why do you hate America? America haters make baby Jesus cry, Toby Keith told me so.
However, oddly enough, they don’t speak Egyptian in Egypt. They used to, thousands of years ago, but they mostly speak Arabic there now
Which brings us to Latin America . . .
I only found that type of spread once in a Canadian food store.
In the cleaning-supplies section. 
Well it’s a pity that whenever one of your lot tries to do an Aussie accent, you sound like a New Zealander.
Or Arnold Swarznegger(sp?). You know, he’s from Australia.
It’s an imperfect transcription, but when you get to places like northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, and many parts of Canada, the “OW” sound in words like “out” and “about” becomes closer to “OO” or “OH.” “Aboot” or “aboat” are fairly close approximations of the accent.
They don’t walk like Egyptians anymore either.
I used to date an Austrailian biochemist when I was a sweet young thing. Bizarre man washed his hands in a “bison.”
Yes, but *I * know this, and you know this, but he doesn’t know this.
Was the Bison alive at the time?
I dunno, have you heard those English lately? Talkin’ like a buncha crazyass for’ners.
I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In high school, my brother and I overheard our dad talking to another fellow following a group canoe trip; Dad was talking distinctly about the “booohhht.” (requires a slight nasal inflection) We kept straight faces at the time, but cracked up about it later, as we were sure Dad would be surprised and slightly appalled to realize he was talking with a Milwaukee accent.
Back in my non-vegetarian days, I used to snack often on cheese fries covered in gravy. Never knew it had a one word name, though.
Many years ago, when I first went to SE Asia, I met a Kiwi fellow in a loud bar. He was a nice enough chap but once he had a few drinks in him he was like a dog with a bone.
He kept insistently asking me, “Why do all you Canadians sound like Yanks?”, “Doesn’t it bloody bother you to sound like an Amerikan?” and so on, endlessly. There were other people along so I just avoided him for a time, but eventually he was back again.
So this time I asked him, “Why do all you bloody Kiwi’s sound like freakin’ Auzzies?”.
It worked perfectly, as he was deeply and truly offended that I dared to make such a comparison. 
Refused to speak another word to me.
Canadians don’t sound like Yanks; it’s the Yanks who sound like Canadians. And we don’t have an accent - the rest of the world does. Weirdos.
fishbicycle, I have lots of family members who are very poorly informed, but more than willing to share their opinions on world events. Being on this board has been a real eye-opener for me. Also, reading Will Ferguson’s book Why I Hate Canadians has been very educational. Apparently, we are more like Americans than we would care to admit, the rest of the world knows it, and we’re in deep denial. I suspect he might be onto something.
(On a slightly related note, a guy who visited Scotland once told me that Scots are crazy for the Canadian accent. Go figger.)
Sure, it’s like Scots lite. At least in the Maritimes, which is where I was last month. The hardcore ones that sounded like they’d never left the Highlands (like my late grandmother, third-generation Canadian-born Brooklynite who never lost her burr) are dying out, though. There were plenty of people on vacation there from other parts of Canada, though, and the Westerners in particular DO sound American except for the occasional word.
I’ve said once on this board that I’ve lived under eight Presidents and somebody somewhere has been burning our flag over something under each and every one of them, Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, pro-life, pro-gay, pro-gun, or anti all those things.
If we reach the point where some hapless slum dweller or spoiled college kid somewhere doesn’t care enough to burn our flag, THEN the terrorists have won! 
Puutine does NOT have cheese on it, ever. It has cheese CURDS.
Fries with cheese and gravy are, well, fries with cheese and gravy. Fries with cheese curds and gravy is poutine. And it should be chicken gravy.
Now, I’ve never had poutine, but it sounds positively delectable to me. If I were to get, say, Wisconsin cheddar cheese curds, would that be acceptable?
Wisconsin cheese is fine cheese indeed, and I am sure the curds will do nicely.
Nuh uh…
I’ve got something in my location, and I don’t have an accent either…35 going on 36 years in AK, born raised in Washington State, Seattle area prior to that. No accent there either.
