Long Islanders Have Least Sexy Accent In Nation, Survey Says

Long Island might be known for some pretty amazing sights and experiences — bacon, egg and cheese on a roll, anyone? — but when it comes to that distinctive accent, well, some say the tawk on Long Island is just not that sexy.

According to a poll done by Big 7 Travel, ranking the "Top Sexist Accents in the USA," Long Island came in last at No. 50.

"People from ‘Lawnguyland’ might be a bit upset with being voted as having America’s least sexiest accent. But look, can they really disagree?" the Big 7 Travel post asked.

Billy Joel, Alec Baldwin, and Theresa Caputo might beg to differ.

New Jersey was second to last, and Minnesota claimed the dubious honor of snagging No. 48.

But coming in at No. 1, with the sexiest sound in the land, was Texas. "Who can resist a slow, Texan drawl? Not us, and not our community, clearly. The typical Texan accent is a 'Southern accent with a twist', with strong ‘r’s and plenty of ‘Howdy’s’. America’s sexiest accent? We’d have to agree," the post said.

Second most appealing, according to those who voted in the poll, was a Bostonian accent, which came in at No. 2. "And yes, just like Mahhhhk Wahlberg, locals really do say “pahk yuh cahr in hahvuhd yahd," the post said.

And don't worry, New Yorkers represented, with the famous accent coming in at a resounding No. 3.
