MyLifeIsAverage

Life is pretty normal today.
The other day I learned that if you say 'beer can' with an English accent, you're saying 'bacon' with a Jamaican accent. Mind blown. MLIA

Why the last sentence? WHY? *Collapses* This was a good story too.
 
neonpurpledinosaur Good: 73 Bad: 5 3 months ago
My mind isn't blown, but I am pleasantly surprised by that revelation!
 
qwerty42 Good: 0 Bad: 0 3 weeks, 2 days ago
It's sad that I made this my facebook status and a bunch of people actually said, "Mind Blown" or some other variance
 
ryebreadboy Good: 40 Bad: 12 3 months ago
This really would've been better without "Mind blown". Especially since that's not a sentence. You can just give us the facts, you know. You don't have to add some ridiculous conclusion.
 
oinkwoofmoo Good: 13 Bad: 4 2 months, 1 week ago
At least she didn't say "Mind. Blown."
 
RachelTee Good: 7 Bad: 2 2 months, 1 week ago
I'm pretty sure this was written before "Mind blown" became cliche...
 
Pilate Good: 0 Bad: 1 1 month, 1 week ago
Yes, I agree. It's not so bad.
 
DeathOfATamagotchi Good: 35 Bad: 3 3 months ago
It's not too bad, actually. The format of many cliche's, however, a spin on it that doesn't make it entirely awful.
 
Averagenub Good: 16 Bad: 3 3 months ago
Sometimes you get badded and you don't get why. Was it because Mind blown isn't an actual sentence or what?
 
caryl Good: 14 Bad: 2 3 months ago
I can deal with the last sentence. But seriously... this person has NEVER heard a proper british accent. I have one. I ought to know.
 
most_innocent_jess Good: 6 Bad: 1 2 months ago
the point is, is it sounds like tht to someone who is trying to fake a british accent, lets not get all technical
 
Smashleyk Good: 19 Bad: 1 3 months ago
British... Jamaican..... I'm definitely not following... EDIT: Ah, wait, I get it. I've been saying beer can with my average American accent and wondering why it didn't sound right, but now that I've tried with what my mind would consider a British accent, I get it.
 
Averagenub Good: 12 Bad: 5 3 months ago
Sometimes your comment asking why you got badded get's badded and you get even more confused. *head spins*
 
danizipan Good: 47 Bad: 2 3 months ago
I agree. I think it should have went more like this: The other day I learned that if you say 'beer can' with an English accent, you're saying 'bacon' with a Jamaican accent. My mind is still in one piece. MLIA You know, something along those lines..
 
superwomanvic Good: 29 Bad: 1 3 months ago
Lmao, it's not too bad. I mean, it'd be worse if they had said, "Mind. Blown." Right? :) Not all *that* cliche. Not a bad MLIA overall, I find it pretty amusing.
 
tompom2 Good: 83 Bad: 1 3 months ago
I'm not sure why you lot are so obsessed with dissing posts with cliches at the end. If you have problems with things like that, why do you go through every single post and comment about how bad you think it is? That's a bit like a tiny step up from spamming: it shows you have no life and it makes people hate you. And if that's the image you want to put across to people, you're doing real great, but you can stop now. We get the message.
 
nickandnicole Good: 2 Bad: 0 1 month ago
ha i love you. You are totally right, it doesnt matter if theres a cliche. It was the best story ive ever read. haha i made me laugh and everyone else i told thought it was amazing :)

Merci beaucoup! So, bee is beer in an English accent? Cool.
 
AntiNinjaMovement Good: 15 Bad: 0 3 months ago
No, not "bee". More of a "behhh" sound to it. With a smidgeon of "bihh" in there too.
 
eabowie Good: 19 Bad: 0 3 months ago
Well, we're going with the accent everyone thinks is widespread over Great Britain- the kind of snooty posh one. Only there's actually a ton.

Actually, it only works if "beer can" said in an Irish accent. Nice try.
 
iamprettyaverage Good: 4 Bad: 0 3 months ago
It does seem to work better that way. It takes less precision.
 
Whoisalopecia Good: 2 Bad: 0 3 months ago
Eh does anyone actually know what an irish accent is like? Because I'm Irish and it does not work! At all!
 
CaptainSausage Good: 2 Bad: 0 3 months ago
It does with a Belfast accent á lá Colin Murray.
 
onaveragemylifeisaverage Good: 2 Bad: 0 3 months ago
actually the irish tend to pronounce their rrrrr's properly kind of like a light fluffy pirate. so it doesnt work. more like a liverpool accent would work i think. or like the "daddy, daddy i want a pony" accent.

MariaDynamite Good: 2 Bad: 0 3 months ago
Wow, it's pretty cool indeed. Especially the text the Jamaican man is reading: "Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station."

Yorkshire, England, or somewhere round there. Thats my fave anyway.
 
EmCat Good: 3 Bad: 0 3 months ago
Everyone has an accent, but people don't usually think of their accent as being an "accent," since that's what they're used to. Sometimes I feel ashamed of my generic American accent.
 
Munks585 Good: 1 Bad: 0 3 months ago
Agreed. And tompom2 has brilliant taste in accents. Yorkshire is amazing.

There's not just one American accent either, there's a lot. Southern, New Joisy, Midwestern, etc.
 
TuMadreEsUnPollo Good: 2 Bad: 0 1 month, 4 weeks ago
I think that everybody thinks they don't have an accent. I, for example, am the only person in the entire world who doesn't have an accent. This is fact.

oh come on, i've known this since secondary school (i'm 24 now). It's quite amusing how Americans think that all British people talk in the same accent too... there's west country, geordie, welsh, jock (that i can't understand half the time), central london, south london, brummie, lancastrian just to mention a few off the top of me head, we all sound very different lol. anywho, the pronunciation is something like 'bee-uh' for beer thanks for the entertaining read :-)
 
tompom2 Good: 0 Bad: 0 3 months ago

They do not sound the same. Besides, British and Jamaican accents sound *completely* different. Aside from intonation, British would sound like Beyah Cayhn, and Jamaican like bay-cuhn. At least to me.

I'm a northern lass, I don't speak like the Queen but it does sound like bacon in Jamaican accent when I say it too.

youkayatsix Good: 3 Bad: 0 3 months ago
It doesn't just work with an American accent trying to be British, i'm English and it works no accent needed, but i'm not snotty British eurgh *retches* to think that most people around the world think we speak posh. And that "A reporter" does sound like "Harry Potter"!

Round of applause to all the people that tried to say it after reading this... I know I did :))

TigerMoth Good: 0 Bad: 0 3 months ago
i think i just spent the last 10 minutes saying this before realising i'd never heard someone with a Jamaican accent actually say 'bacon' :)
 
YoStephy123 Good: 0 Bad: 0 3 months ago
I just spent 5 minutes muttering how ridiculous this was, since it wasn't working. Then I noticed the OP said "beer can" not just "beer" I feel dumb :D But that's ok since I'll be going around school today telling everyone about this marvelous revelation.
 
Suzycb Good: 0 Bad: 0 3 months ago
I might spend the rest of the day saying this, just so I sound super chilled

Only if you're an American doing a crappy impersonation of an Englih accent. We really don't sound anything like what you think...

thank you. so much.
 
annie296 Good: 7 Bad: 0 3 months ago
guys, i'm british so i ought to know.. this only works if you say it in a stereotypical ie. posh british accent. if i say it normally it sounds like what it is. some one with a british accent saying beer can.
 
zilly Good: 2 Bad: 6 3 months ago Below Average Comment Show/Hide
actually, i'm also british [just north of london], and i have a friend with a jamaican accent, and we found that it actually does aswell... i guess it depends on what type of british accent, coz it doesnt work with, eg, a cockney [as in traditionally east-end-london] accent, or birmingham accent. but my accent isnt stereotypical. i have a friend who does. we always laugh at him.
 
annie296 Good: 6 Bad: 0 3 months ago
well, i'm not cockney or birmingham. i'm from near london as well.
 
HUGaSADIST Good: 2 Bad: 0 3 months ago

atiyarose Good: 0 Bad: 0 3 months ago
me being the person that i am, said beer can in an english accent then fell on the floor from laughing so hard that it ACTUALLY DID sound like bacon in a jamaican accent. i believe this is ridiculously pointless yet majorly entertaining.

You're so fucking you got this posted Alec, but this is hilarious. (P.S., its batch, you know who I am :^))

TheSoundDefense Good: 0 Bad: 2 3 months ago
I'm not a fan of the last sentence because IF IT BLEW YOUR MIND IT'S NOT GODDAMNED AVERAGE. Man I remember when this site was actually average, and it meant something because of it. Now MLIA stands for "My Life Is Amusing" and the original purpose of the website has been more or less completely defeated. I did enjoy this, though. Now I can't stop thinking of Hermes Conrad.

I was trying to do this with two of my friends. My friend and I were wondering why it didn't sound as good when we said it then when my other friend said it. She then admitted that she was actually saying bacon with a Jamacain accent.

flubster Good: 0 Bad: 1 2 months, 1 week ago
Have you people ever heard a British accent? This makes no sense. How does it at all resemble a Jamaican accent? I say Beer can and being British i say it in a British accent and it sounds nothing like that. This is very silly.
 
lexaayy Good: 0 Bad: 0 1 month ago
being from *england* which is what the post actually said (just in case you're welsh) you would know that the accents vary. cockney and liverpool accents are my favourite :D
