My coworker told me that from time to time they can hear a slight British accent in my speech. I told them, "Dude, that like totally doesn't make sense. I like totally grew up in California, Dude." If anything it would be a Californian accent. They disagreed. They then thought that it was maybe because of the time I spent in Hong Kong. I straighten them out again, "Dude, you're smoking pot. Spending 3 summers in Hong Kong would not give me anything close to a British accent." So they proceeded to ask me to say a whole bunch of phrases hoping that my slight British accent would appear. That's never going to work. Everything they throw at me at from this point on won't work because I'm self-conscious now. I personally think my coworkers are working too hard. Anyways, this exchange reminded me of this Russell Peters comedy routine about the British accent:
