O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	Here is the proper way to speak like you are from Boston. How to speak like a Bostonian (Baastonian) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most "southerners" find the accent a bit weird. There are many peculiarities and exceptions but the raw basics are as follows: Remove all 'r's unless it begins a word. Any word that lost an 'r' at the end and now has an 'e' or 'o' at the end has the 'e' or 'o' changed to an 'a'. The first 'e' or 'o' in a word gets changed to an 'a'. Replace each 'a' in a word with an 'aa' (usually pronounced like 'aaaah') Any word that ends with an 'a' has an 'r' tacked on. (there is some kind of wierd, partial conservation of 'r's principle at work) Many people forget the 'r' rules. So be careful! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a "normal" conversation: "I bought a nice car and a radar detector. Maybe I'll drive it fast through Harvard Yard- nah, that's a bad idea." Here it is in baastonian: "I baaught aa wicked caa and aa raadaa daatectaa. Maaybe I'll drive it faast thraaugh Haavaad Yaad- naah thaat's aah baad ideaar."

Hanger-On Registered: Aug. 01	*is glad to be a bostonian regardless of what others think about our accents* As annoying as we might sound to non-new englanders, I for one can't stand southern accents and consider those as annoying as hell. Of course speaking as a bostonian I don't really know how annoying we might sound to others :P

O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01	I think it's funny that no one in New England realized the rest of the country laughed at the way the Howell's talked on Gilligan's Island. I agree "WICKED" is wayyyy over used. Though wicked annihilated is a good way of describing a good drunk.
