How to Talk Like East Coast English
- Use distinctive vowels and consonants: Pittsburgh English has a unique 'ow' sound, while Boston English features a non-rhotic accent (dropping the 'r' at the end of words).
- In Pittsburgh, say 'yins' to address a group of people instead of 'you all' or 'you guys'.
- In Philadelphia, replace 'water' with 'wooder' to reflect the local dialect.
- In Baltimore, use 'hon' as a term of endearment, often at the end of a sentence, as in 'How you doin', hon?'
- In New York City, use the 'th' sound differently; it often turns into a 'd' or 't' sound, saying 'dis' for 'this' and 'dat' for 'that'.
- In Boston, drop the 'r' in words like 'car' (sounds like 'cah') and 'bar' (sounds like 'bah').
- In both Baltimore and Philadelphia, you might hear 'jimmies' for chocolate sprinkles on ice cream.
- Use phrases like 'fugghedaboudit' in New York City to express skepticism or disbelief.
- In Pittsburgh, refer to the local sandwich as a 'Primanti Brothers sandwich' which includes fries and coleslaw.
- In Boston, use 'wicked' as an intensifier – for example, 'wicked good' to mean 'very good'.
- In general, speak with a certain forthrightness and openness typical of East Coast cities; don't be afraid to be straightforward.
- Adopt local slang: in Philadelphia, say 'jawn' to refer to anything, and in Boston, use 'pissa' to denote something awesome or cool.
