Copying accents

Yep that is something I do as well. Danish does not have that many variances but I often copy those I speak to most. Also, with regards to reactions, body language, wording etc. 

There's a Danish defender at my club (Southampton) and everyone says he speaks like he sounds like he comes from here. I usually put it down to us being next to the New Forest; previously called Ytene as it was lived on by the Danish but I have a Danish-American friend and he sounds like neither :D

Sounds perfectly plausible. In fact I learned recently that a large number of words like egg and window actually have Danish origins from the Viking days. Always though it was the other way around. 

Yeah, that sounds just like the writers of Stargate directly stole that then. Here's what I found on the New Forest from Wikipedia, which isn't always reliable but I think this is reasonable: "Following Anglo-Saxon settlement in Britain, according to Florence of Worcester (d. 1118), the area became the site of the Jutish kingdom of Ytene; this name was the genitive plural of Yt meaning "Jute", i.e. "of the Jutes".^[24] The Jutes were one of the early Anglo-Saxon tribal groups who colonised this area of southern Hampshire. The word ytene (or ettin) is also found locally as a synonym for giant, and features heavily in local folklore" (I suppose to add to that, I know the Danish people from Jutland lived in what is now Kent and Hampshire and soon after they arrived, there was something called "the harriering" and that was basically the Anglo-Saxons joining together to wipe out the Jutes...for dominance I suppose....and it might be a semi-offensive term from the Saxons on people they basically commited crimes against.....like above where the word Welsh....or any name beginning with wal is used in Saxon to mean "foreigner").

We're all one big family from Africa. Would be weird if we didn't borrow from each other :D But I get the annoying part the the "majority" is right. 

I love this... :D Ettin is actually not a word for tall Danes. It translates to "jætte" in Danish and is in fact the name for the evil giants that the Nordic Gods fought in Asgaard. Loke was half Ettin
