Things aren’t just bigger in Texas — they’re apparently better too! (Well, at least when it comes it to their accents!)
“Who can resist a slow, Texan drawl? Not us, and not our community, clearly,” reads the ranking for Texas, which is also the home state to several stars includingMatthew McConaughey,Owen Wilson,Beyoncé, and Gary Busey.
“The typical Texan accent is a ‘Southern accent with a twist’, with strong ‘r’s and plenty of ‘Howdy’s’,” the ranking continues. “America’s sexiest accent? We’d have to agree.”

For sixth place, Mississipi’s “classic ‘Deep South’ accent” took the prize, while Hawaii landed itself in seventh, Philadelphia in eighth, St. Louis in ninth and Californian in tenth.
And don’t be confused: New York and Long Island, though part of the same state, are comprised of completely different accents, according to the survey. To prove it, Long Island was listed in dead last for their unsexy twang.
“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 description reads.
Similarly, California Valley and Californian finished at different spots, with the valley accent coming in at 46th — just 36 places ahead of Californian, due in part because the accent is “often ridiculed.”
Meanwhile, following behind Long Island was New Jersey in 49th place (“Think ‘cawfee’ and dropping the ‘Rs’,” the listing reads) and Minnesotan in 48th.
Other accents included in the survey rankings were Midwestern, Baltimorese, New Orelans, Charleston, Atlanta, General American and Floridian.
