oh Yeah. try being from the South and moving Mid-west. ppl tell me they can here a bit of Southern drawl when I speak. it could be worse, tho.
"take the mic out" ha! love it! thanks to my brit friends I know what that means!
BTW, NEVER call a person from the South a "Yank". Major insult. if refers to being "yankees" and they are northerners. which we are not.

My friends and I do this fairly often.
I work at a fairly large company and we have folks from all over the US. Southern accents are totally different than those of the Northern states. We have a pretty good time mimicking each other.
Several years ago I worked with a team of guys from London and recall that they all made fun of the accent found in the Birmingham area of England.
Peace,
DC

"Take the mick out"? If that means do we "bust on" each others accents, yes we "razz" each other but in a good natured way :

But of course we do, sometimes even in commercial advertisements. Usually it's between the south and north, or the Boston accent.

When I lived in GB I learned the expression "to take the mickey out of....".
Can you use 'mick' also??

Do any Americans understand the expression "take the mick out of"?
I don't think so. (And to answer your question, much less, in my experience.)

not really, i mean we do, just not face to face, mostly because the people with the REALLY noticeable accents are almost always complete tools.
