I think that's more the effect of her living in Britain with Guy Richie, sort of like why John Malkovich has such an odd accent from living in Portugal. FAS seems to be the result of trauma whereas pomp just comes naturally to some.

Same hear until I met a friend's Scottish cousin. Oh man, I would have done just about anything to hear her talk.
I managed to get her to say "Oh my giddy aunt." and "Om my buggery bollocks." and I just about became weak in the knees. I think it was worth the cost of two drinks, as well.

Something funny. When we were in Ireland in about 1990, we learned that nonenglish speakers were being sent there to learn english because the Irish spoke better english than the English.
I swear, I wasn't doing it on purpose, but after I played Fable on the Xbox for a while, I was talking in a bad Cockney accent. Instead of saying "Arr" for R I would say "Air". I couldn't stop doing it.
It was really bad when I had to give a presentation that week.

Not to mention you said "Chicken Chaser" about 200x a day. Now you're down to about 3x a week... I guess that's an improvement. I wonder if there's a syndrome for whistling the "Jub Jub" song at inappropriate times too...
