Out of 50 American accents, California secures 10th place for sexiest.

Hella cool.

Here’s what the website that conducted the study had to say about our accent: “The typical Californian accents sounds similar to General American, meaning to American ears it isn’t an accent at all. But we’re here to tell you that it is. Vowels are super long, so yep, dude really does become ‘duuuuuude’.”

The accents that rank higher than ours are:

9. St. Louis

8. Philadelphia

7. Hawaiian

6. Mississippi

5. Chicago

4. Mainer

3. New York

2. Bostonian

1. Texan
