Regional Dialects
    #14494915 - 05/22/11 04:48 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I was talking to a friend who was visiting from Providence, when we begun to talk about our accents. We argued who had a thicker accent, and while it was impossible to tell, he brought up a lot of things I have never noticed myself saying and never thought I was saying with an accent.

I've lived in Philly my entire life, and noticed a few things that everyone knows about, such as "wooder" instead of water, and the word "you'se", something much like the southern "Ya'll"

I was wondering what other words people say with an accent from your region, because movies/TV are never really to be trusted. Please save the flaming, just because I have a thick accent doesn't mean I'm stupid, in fact I'm quite intelligent.

Here's a few more we noticed (how Philly people pronounce it vs how it is properly):

Al-Owl
Are-Our
Awn-On
Theeder-Theater
Iggle-Eagle
Beggle-Bagel
Addytude-attitude
Jeet-Did you eat
Tal-Towel
Shtreet-Street
Wit-With (if your ever ordering a steak in Philly, better say Wit, not With...almost an immediate indicator of a tourist)

I'm from Florida and we use the phrases "ya'll" and "ain't" a whole damn lot......... we also use "as a motherfucker" to describe the size or severity of a situation. Dude is usually pronounced dood  or duud. Dang is still used daily in the south also.

Up in Maine, Everyone says "wicked" to describe something good. Also, every -er or -or is replaced by an A. Instead of Bang-or its Bang-ahhh.

Another thing that is a big city thing apparently, is saying "yeah yeah yeah" instead of just yeah because people in cities are in such a rush all the time.

I grew up in montgomery county, which borders philadelphia county, my accent, I am told is not as thick as my brothers. My girlfriend grew up in the southern tier of NY state and her accent is very similiar to my grandmother who grew up in Rochester. I love accents, and I love Phillys NPR, even living out of state I still listen to the live stream daily. They did a show about Regional Dilaects, and obviously, spent some time on covering Phillys

It all depends on what's with you

Seriously, I live in TN and Ive always heard other people talk and Im always like "damn, redkneck backwood mother fuckers." I have almost no accent compared to most people bc my parents are from the north. However, at my last family reunion, I listened to myself speak compared to my other northern relatives. I talk more redkneck than I thought

haha no worries..no stalker's or anything here, kinda hide myself too.  What area are you from though? I've lived in the Northeast, and lived in South for a while, and no I reside in North for school.

yeah, I have cousins who have grown up in southern Delaware, and I think wow, they have some thick southern accents, but when my grandfather used to visit from Georgia, I would get too see a thicker southern accent.

Dialects and accents always amaze me, I enjoy "collecting" real pure accents. One of the aforementioned cousins lives next to a man from Ireland, and the drunker he gets, the thicker his accent goes and it is absolutely hilarious listen to him talk.
