Affecting colloqialisms from other places. You're from the North East United States, you sound stupid saying words like "Head" "Mate" "Taters" (super exaggerated taaaayyy-tERs). By stealing words from the South, British English and Australian English you only come across as trying WAY too hard to be cool. That little pause while you wait for someone to ask what "Head" or "Watercloset" mean when you say you're going to look for one as you get up from the table at a restaurant is also very obvious.

Definitely this.

What I hate even more is when people try to affect an accent/vocabulary/way of speaking to suggest a geographical area to be cute and then get it flat out wrong. "No, people in Wisconsin do not sound like they are some kind of New Jersey stereotype. I don't even know why you'd think that. You just assumed people in Wisconsin talk funny because 'LOL, Wisconsin' and you just ran with the first 'funny' accent you could think of. That's kind of a dumb thing to do in front of someone who just told you she lives there."
