Reply to comment by DankFeces in TIL about foreign accent syndrome. This is a very rare (~100 cases worldwide) but real medical condition where people abruptly begin speaking in a foreign accent following head trauma like a bad migraine, accident, or stroke. by veety
My sister worked once with an old white lady who developed this and could (in her words) “only talk like a paki”.
It was genuinely traumatic for her that the only way she could speak was by doing a racist impersonation.
