Does the US have accent names like that?
Not that I can think of.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Dear DirecTV. If I lose my job, I will no longer be able to pay your exorbitant monthly fees.
Therefore, please to stop running back to back episodes of The Wire late Sunday nights.
Ta, me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

How about Hoosier? Is that an accent?
Salma is enough to make on believe in miracles before you even get to her origin story.
The miraculous origin story of her boobs!
Banderas was impressing me. I knew he'd come to the US not speaking English at all, but I didn't realize he'd gotten his first movie role before he learned it!

If you don't know they refer to Liverpool, Newcastle, and that wee bit of London, you'd have no idea.
I've known what a Geordie accent sounds like for a while due to all the British television I watch, but it wasn't until just the other day that I put it together with Newcastle while watching an old Graham Norton episode with Diddy, Vince Vaughn, and Sarah Millican.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Hoosier accents vary significantly depending on what part of the state you're from, so I'm going to say, "no" on that one.

Walking, talking, proof of that one.

We don't even have that many regional (or whatever) nicknames that don't connect to the place name -- Hoosiers, what else? Not Massholes, obviously.

Because books.
Cajun doesn't refer specifically to the region it's from.

Yooper? (Except obviously that ties back to the place name. Er.)
