Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

If you are so inclined, please tell me your thoughts and feelings about having/not having a local accent in the tags/comments!! I would love to hear!! This, of course, goes for other/nuance voters as well!!

*as in someone can identify where you are from just based on your accent** (no matter how obscure of an accent you have)

**as in the way you pronounce/sign your words(creek vs crick), NOT dialect i.e. vocab and grammar differences(soda vs pop)

ALSO, EVERYONE HAS AN ACCENT DIPSHIT IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE :P

don't let this flop. monty python watchers what phrases have had the most impact on your lexicon. for me it's "what's all this then" and "other than that, perfectly normal"

[prismatic-bell]

Cliche, but 100% "African or European?"

I'll note that Monty Python is the source of a term that made it into statute. You can't properly understand internet regulation without Monty Python.

From Holy Grail:

"I thought we were an autonomous collective."

"Good idea, O Lord!" "Of course it's a good idea!"

"You must bring us … another shrubbery!" (Frequently used for "another strawberry" instead.)

"Huge ... tracts of land ..."

"I'd rather just ... sing!"

"He's going to tell!" "He's going to tell!" (Frequently used for "He's going to bed!" instead.)

From Life of Brian:

"Yes! We are all individuals!" ("I'm not!")

"How many Romans?" "Aah! Plural, plural!"

From various Flying Circus sketches:

"Beautiful plumage." "No, 'e's pining for the fjords!" "This … is an ex-parrot!"

"He doesn't know when he's beaten! He doesn't know when he's winning either …"

"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

"They cannot be seen."

"It's pronounced Throat-Warbler Mangrove."

"... know what I mean, eh, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more"
