If I hear an accent I don't recognize, I usually ask the person where they're from, but with a slight questioning in my mind as to the propriety of it.
Max,
I think you'll find that was Jackie replying to shanks. And I know Jackie is perfectly capable of replying for herself - as she has proved some 768 times (sorry Jackie!) - but I interpreted her expression to mean that she was questioning the propriety of her own question. In other words, is it politically correct to interrogate people about their origins because they sound different? Now, I am really intrigued to hear what Jackie had in mind.
