Philadelphia! Very astute, my friend. Where are you yourself?
I somewhat thought that getting an education, working white collar, social media, and living in Europe the last 6 years that I would have of lost my accent. Hence why I found your comment so interesting!
I am interested in what you assume me accent be, though I’ll give ya some hints and you tell me where I’m from…
My wife teases my pronunciation of butter and water as they come out as “budder” and “wooder”, house roofs as “woofs”, and I call water creeks “cricks”. She also laughs at me when I get angry \ passionate as I become louder and sound like “one of those Italian gangsters from the old bugs Bunny cartoons”. And she’ll repeat back to me, exaggerated, “whaddya talkin about?!” as I seem to ask her that before every debate…
I learned this from my dad… When I was young, we had a plumbing leak on a Sunday night, p-trap was leaking. All places were closed, so he went to a McDonald’s bathroom and stole theirs to replace ours.
20 something years later, my faucet was leaking. It was a discontinued model from a brand owned by home Depot, though they still had the display model up. Remembering what my pa did, I took the display model apart and took what I needed.
Lol, I’m here sounding it out and it sounds between ruff and woof…
My wife thinks it’s funny that most words with a “t” in the middle, I pronounce as "d"s… Butter is budder, better is bedder, water is wooder, etc…
Also, creeks are “cricks”.
More so, Internet has destroyed the spirit of conversation. When I was younger, people found me charming and intelligent when first meeting me after talking for a bit. Now, they can quickly “google” what I say and quickly learn that I am an ass, bullshitting and exaggerating what I don’t know, but making it up to keep the conversation interesting.
The man is a god damn saint. He delivers food to the elderly on the weekends, my grandma adores him.
