“Yankees leave off the “r” in car but add it to “idea” (idear) to make up for it.”

Growing up an hour west of Boston, I worked haRd to keep my “R’s” especially since I had an “R” in the middle of my maiden name (and it sounds stupid with an “H” in the middle instead). So although I keep my “R’s” most of the time,...
“I do paRk my caR but neveR at HaRvaRd YaRd” (too many loonies there), I still somehow lose my “G’s” at the end of words - another Yankee trait...”aRe you goin’ with me I’m leavin’ soon.”

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO Y’ALL (I added the y’all for my southern friends!)

They must not have espinades north of the Mason-Dixon.

It's amazing how quickly the accent fades once you get outside the 495 loop, unless you're going north, of course.
