Sometimes a story comes across our Hidden Outer Banks desk that is just so wacky and wonderful that we know we have to share it. The traditional Ocracoke accent coming in as one of the sexiest in the nation is wonderful and wacky. The Charlotte Observer has the story.

“The occasionally baffling dialect spoken by Outer Banks natives along the North Carolina coast has made a list of “The Top 50 Sexiest Accents” in the country.

“Hoi Toider,” the accent spoken by Outer Banks natives, came in at No. 35.”
