"Cut Glass Accent" | Antimoon Forum
Lazar Tue Nov 28, 2006 8:25 pm GMT. I have seen that term before, often in the phrase "cut glass RP". I get the impression that it refers to an "old-fashioned" or "traditional" RP accent. I guess the term probably originated because of the perception of such an accent as "cold" or "sharp". Robin Tue Nov 28, 2006 11:35 pm GMT. A 'clipped accent'.
