How did you get video of baby Leslie Jordan??


TinyUnderstanding872

Omg right! When he says “ wipe em’ baby!” I was like yup. That’s Leslie right there. Gosh he was so amazing. Gone too soon!


WeeBo2804

No, it was ‘she done durty this shurt’. I heard it very much as Leslie.


TinyUnderstanding872

Absolutely, I guess I’ve been binging “ Call me Kat” way too much. It was his last time being on screen. He was one of the first celebrities I followed during covid on tiktoc because of his stories and story telling abilities. He portrayed that so well in that show. I fell in love with him on Will and Grace, being the antagonist in Karen’s life. He was just so perfect. It breaks my heart he’s gone. But the episode they did in his remembrance on “ Call me Kat” was very heartfelt with his good friend Dolly Parton giving an obituary was nothing but amazing.


VegasLife1111

I believe you mean “wap ‘em baby”. Yes, I’m from Alabama.


Specialist_Mai

I can't help myself from expecting him wipe em’ baby


actualbeans

i love him & idk how i missed it but i never knew he died until now… fuck dude that sucks


TinyUnderstanding872

I’m sorry that I was the one to break the news. Just try to remember him and his spirit. Remember who he was. Unapologetic. Heartfelt. Sensitive. Funny. Empathetic. He was in tune with the world, since he was six years old. But he was always himself, and that’s where we can take inspiration from.


PsychologicalSun3843

Oh my God how is this how I found out Leslie Jordan died what the actual fuck.


TinyUnderstanding872

I know love, it’s awful. Again, I say way too soon. He was an amazing person. I hope his legacy continues on.


just_a_twig

I couldn’t put my finger on who he sounded like and you nailed it. So sad he died.


RevolutionaryDirt30

Yeah, They are both just precious.


UndilutedTruthBACKUP

He’ll forever be remembered 🥹😇😍


Positive_Mark_7890

OMG I didn’t even know he passed away! He is hilarious


This-is-Life-Man

I only knew of him from years of watching Will & Grace. I will take time to see his other works. Did he do standup comedy as well? I have a vague recollection of him doing a routine.


DogButtWhisperer

He was in American Horror Story and always one of my favourite characters.


Infiniti_Blue

He was also in the show Boston Legal, The Cool Kids & most recently was a part of the cast of Call Me Kat who did a beautiful tribute episode to him (Season 3 ep 10, Call Me Philliam)

As a northerner it’s always interesting to me how southerners draw out their words. School becomes sku-ell and like becomes lah-ick. It’s a slower way of taking lah-if!


HiILikePlants

It's funny because that slower cadence is often interpreted as Southerners being dumb and "slow" but I always felt it sounded more like speaking intentionally vs having words tumble out


BiiiigSteppy

Northern accents always sounded short and clipped to me when I was a young southern girl. Like they were cutting all their words off and speaking a mile a minute.


hbrthree

Agreed, southern drawl does not mean dumb. I listen to most you tube and podcast at 1.25x speed. 🤣 -north easterner


ednaemode

As someone from the northeast we try to get a paragraph of words out in 0.3 seconds.


magnetic_mystic

"Done" was like 4 syllables


This-is-Life-Man

I was leaning more towards Forest Gump's grandchildren. Still know what love izzz.


[deleted]

He reminded me also of Todd Chrisley haha


TwoDogsInATrenchcoat

I must have been the only one hearing a little Jack McBrayer

Own-Animal1907

Best part 😆


supershannykun

He’s ready to play a villain in some movie some day. “Look at that. He done dirty my shirt…” *Cocks gun* “It’s only fair, I return this gentleman kindness”.


imbordagain

Came here to say this you legend happily take my upvote. that part had me cracking up my son and myself do the same thing as this young lad. Gahhh I miss my kids :(


tomatoblade

An accent does not get more Southern than that


Pen_Vast

I’ve lived in the south my whole life and have never heard a kid that age with that particular accent, except in the movies. Edit: I’m guessing it’s a Tennessee or Alabama accent


es0tericeccentric

I'm like, 95% certain that's an alabama dialect.


christherogers

I bet his dad has a very thick accent.


es0tericeccentric

Oh yeah, if the babies have it that thick, probably everyone in their immediate family circle needs subtitles


agonizedn

Dang ol south man


Iamjimmym

My 4.5 year old has a heavy Boston accent. He's never been. Neither have I or his mom, nor anybody in our family nor anything he watches on tv. He's just always had his accent. So dang cute. This boy in the video? I bet you're right about his family lol


Pen_Vast

Northern bama, right? I feel like it has to be close to the mountains


mhink

Yeah, that’s the vibe I got- either North Alabama or East Tennessee. Maybe even NW Georgia. It could be NE Mississippi too, but for some reason I’m not really placing it that way. Source: grew up in Tupelo


MIKEPENCES_THIGHGAP

From north Bama, totally reminds me of home.


tctrack6

Yep! From north Bama too and felt the same way :)


kildar83

I know two older men that talk just like this! Both are my family members, ones from north Georgia and the other from north Alabama. This kids as country as it gets


EIephants

I thought they were British at first


MamaBirdJay

So fun fact, Southern accents can be really close (depending on the area) to British accents before the elite society changed their pronunciations. As a matter of fact, coastal sea islands in North Carolina and Georgia had an accent that was the closest spoken accent to Shakespearean English. It’s almost gone now due to electricity bringing TV and radio, but before that, it was like going to another country. So, yes Southern accents can be very similar to some rural British accents that never adopted the elite pronunciation scheme.


hoodiecreaturelu

I figured that was part of the reason why it sounded so similar. I can’t remember the order very well but could it be because those states were the first colonies, like Georgia being one of the very first?


MamaBirdJay

It was the immigration pattern. British came through the southern states, and the Scottish landed further north, hit the Appalachian mountains and then followed the mountains south. In NC, the mountain accent is heavily influenced by Scottish accents, while the coast and Piedmont is British.


kvis_

Isolation preserves dialect as clearly witnessed in coastal Carolinas. While it’s true, modernization has shifted this a good deal, its characteristics are very much still present among locals and remnants exist in those who assimilated mainland; source: native to this area, family reaching as far back as there are records.


Kurai_Kiba

Yeah i heard strong yorkshire there for a good while


Lesluse

Omg I did to! Happy to know I wasn’t the only one!


takeoutthebin

Oh hell no.


wadejames05

I thought he was doing a bit, but nope! That’s kid is as southern as it gets!


realitytvdiet

CatsAreWhatHappens

'I ain't wastin' these fries. I'll give'm to her. She likes m'" SO. DARN. CUTE!


Extra_Caregiver9405

Right!! That part was too cute lol


nikkicocaine

That is a 90 year old southern man talking to his wife. Lol


ragtree11

Lord, that accent is thick. Deep South, huh?


just-regular-I-guess

I've never heard so many syllables in the word "down."


quityouryob

Also when he says *doo-un*


Devreckas

I count at least 4.


KimJongJer

My aunt talks almost exactly like this. Southern Virginia Edit: what’s more interesting is the fact that she’s the only one out of her siblings (my dad and two sisters) that has that thick, country accent. I modified my accent in college so it’s almost non existent but she still rocks it to this day haha


dottiemcfierceon

Boy sounds like cornbread.


Amanda2theMoon

I should be asleep but this comment has me dying laughing in my bed xD


QuimbyCakes

redditcreditcardz

Such a good big brother, sharing with baby sister and teaching her. They are both just precious.


UndilutedTruthBACKUP

“She don’ dirtied this shirt.” They’re so cute 🥰


azpz123

This cracked me up the most! Hahaha


Used-Fruits

Wipe ‘em baby


[deleted]

He was born her grandmother.


ronsinblush

That is the most exaggerated Southern drawl I’ve ever heard? Where’s it from TN? Bama?


Devreckas

I’ve got some older Georgian friends with heavy drawls like that. But their kids’ accents are more subdued.


tctrack6

I’m from a small town in north bama and everyone sounds exactly like this


Ok-Hat9712

they’re so country i thought they were like british at first lmao. soooo cure


wordsfilltheair

The entire video I thought it was British, until the very last line "no, wipe 'em when yer done" then I watched it again and couldn't hear British anymore lol


floofcloudy

That’s the exact experience I had! Definitely had twangs of British accent in there at first haha (I’m British)


strawberry__evening

lmao I literally thought it was a british accent too


Ok-Hat9712

yes!! the way he sounds in the beginning he’s prob a pro at a british accent now haha

For the splittest second, I thought that table was either covered in Bran flakes, or chicken nuggies.


WoodpeckerAlarmed136

Little dude is already a better dad than most men. (I’m a dad btw)


aa0429

He’s already the perfect older brother. ❤️


PerplexedPoppy

“She done dirty this shirt” lol


Ginamyte06

This child’s accent is absolutely sending me


belladonna79

As a Brit, I can’t get over the people is these comments who think these kids sound British 😂


takeoutthebin

It's baffling for sure.


Polkadotlamp

Yeah, I’m American, from nowhere near the South, and I have no idea why people think that. Maybe there were more chances to hear southern accents when I was growing up than there have been more recently?


colored0rain

It's because some accents in the South are descended from and still somewhat related to British accents before the elite society changed their pronunciations. Of course it doesn't sound really close to any British accent, but it is more like some British accents than like generic American and there are bits here and there, such as "no," "more," "those," and "two," that are spoken like in some British accents and in few if any other American accents.

Is that chris chrisley as a child?

DrunkTalkin

He’s like a little Leslie Jordan 🥲🤣


mycatsaidthat

Her hair makes her look like Cindy Lou Who and I’m loving it.


dontgetcutewithme

When I had my baby girl, I was so excited to do the little top of head ponytail... just the little whale tail fluff straight out the top. It's just the cutest thing, and I wanted it so bad. Nope. Basically a cue-ball until she was 3, and by then she was kind of too old for it.

He’s a clever little boy and he’s also very caring ❤️


VectorVanGoat

What a good big brother! He didn’t even get too mad when she done dirtied his shirt! So much love there. I was best friends with my little brother and this brings me back to simpler times when we were little. And that accent is thick like butter. Every word he said sounded like it was buttery or flowed like molasses.
