Dawsonegger is a bit unwieldy is it not?
If he doesn't hear 'George Daws what are the scores?' Atleast 3 times a week he should quit.
Daws sit on whores. :/
Names like James Jameson and Edward Woodward are the worst type. Clearly, the parents had a bad connection and wanted to do bad on the child.
All three of them seem pretty similar to me.
Doors, which would rhyme with drawers (as in chest of).
The Celts pronounce their r's, unlike us decent English folk, so for them dorse would be a right tongue-twister.
Can't even speak your own language properly.
If you want me to go through the full list of crimes against communication that I suffer daily from my Ulster customers then I will. There's one bloke in Magherafelt who talks like he's been drinking engine oil.
Spikey says drawers (as in chest of) as draw-uh-z

I don't, but there is a very slight difference between drawers and doors (aside from the R).
Drawers rhymes with doors in my dialect, easily.
Drawers rhymes with draws.
Neither rhyme with doors.

None of these fucking rhyme.
I think, in addition to all the accent differences, people just dont realize when things rhyme
Nobody really speaks English the way its probably supposed to be.
I say 'Daws' as written, so like 'paws', which is why I would rhyme it with 'doors' and 'drawers'. I'm pretty sure that's how manc sean said it as well, so since between us we popularised it here it stands.
Shakespearean OP was more like a sort of soft west country drawl. Hampshire accents are probably closest. Few vowel differences, like 'sea' until the great vowel shift would have been pronounced 'say'. 'Meat' = 'Mate', etc.
They would have said the Rs, so the Queen's English is deficient there.

7 is better than 3 and I will fight you over that.
Posh scotch (in fact most of the teuchter accents) is/are just the worst.
The viking sounding stuff you get up the north of Scotland is the best. East coast is generally horrific.
Fuckin' kens and ehs everywhere.
I went to Kirkcaldy once and it may as well be a different language.
The Southern Belle accent is great. The Cletus accent, not so much
I loved the accents in Justified.
The 'wash myself with a rag on a stick' accent is amazing. I wouldn't want it, obviously, but it's entertaining.
But sometimes terrifying:
I'm going to the Kingdom of Fife this evening
Takes me ages to understand the FIL (Ayrshire) and no chance with the Dundee folk most of the time.
Wee Anglish tike hae some baws.
I think we could somewhat have a clue in the 17th and maybe 16th centuries, but they wouldn't understand us.
Medieval times we wouldn't have a scoobie. If you read Chaucer and then add in the fact that their concept of pronunciation was miles out from ours, then I don't think we'd have a chance.
I find this stuff fascinating. The earliest recording of speech is I think Gladstone talking into a tin can and he sounds almost impossibly far-off in history.
Scottish 'folk' who write in their accents are cunts.
Is it Irving Welsh that does that? Fucking unreadable.
Newcastle United's twitter account just signed a tweet off with HWTL.
Howay is one word. Granted, there's not anywhere they can find that out ....
Oh.
