I've heard some people throw the letter 'r' into the word 'wash'??? "I have to warsh my car". I bug a friend from Pennsylvania every time she says she has to go "warsh" something. Colloquialisms are even more interesting than accents. A friend from AZ used to suggest that her daughters needed to "get all their s**t in one sock." I've adopted that one.

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

I have to go empty my warshing machine. Is that a front loader? Anyone have recommendations for a good front loader? Bren R.

I had a neighbor that used to say umpen when she meant open (Arkansas dialect). It is probably hypocritical for someone from Texas to make fun of others accents though.

When my family first moved from (South) Jersey to Rhode Island, I think my teacher got annoyed with me on my first day of class.
While we were reading something, she called out "Mack". A few seconds later: "Mack". Then "Mack, are you ignoring me?".
I looked up to see her staring straight at me.
I've been in new England since 1976, and I STILL think the New England accents are funny.
Pock yu cah in da K-Maht Pockin' Lot. Wicked Pissah. South Boston has a dialect all it's own.
New Hampshire and Maine have a drawl from the old timers as well, though it's not really heard among those under 50~70 too much.

ya think? I d'know. Djeet yet? Yawn't to? I started making fun of the "MN" accent by saying "Ookie" or "Oogie" instead of "Okay"... problem is, it stuck. Bren R.
