Hey, clones …
You know Jim Rome.
You know bodybuilders.
You know hardcore jocks.
They speak with this certain accent.
It’s a bit thuggy. Not Brooklyn or NYC.
So …
what is it?
Um, the logical result of dialectical materialism and the perception of a “gay accent”?
Or something?
To me Jim Rome uses hip-hop slang (some seemingly a bit outdated) delivered with a stereotypical SoCal San Fernando Valley accent. He says stuff like “Wud is up with thaaaht, that is sooo not fresh” with the “that” and “so” sounding like a valley girl from the 80’s. When he does it on the radio, it is not that bad- but when you see him on TV in his mock turtleneck and sportcoat, it makes him seem really stupid. It is really irritating when the clones try to copy his delivery- uhgg!
