Vegan acts like a jerk on the train (1 Viewer)

If someone started performing on the streetcar, he/she would immediately be murdered.
One of the happiest places to live, right? Just don't whistle in public. **** goes down at that point.

You live in West Side Story don't you?
Don't be ridiculous. You can perform all day every day in public. Just not on the actual streetcar. It's bad form.
What if you just have to sing Stan and Stella? Isn't that kinda the appropriate spot?

Singing? Singing is fine. That's not even performing, it's just background music.

There is no more annoying accent than a New York/NJ accent. Not South, not Upper Midwest.
Most people in NJ/NY/CT/PA don't have accents and sound completely normal, more so than a lot of other places.
"People where I live don't have accents" shtick is awesome.
:shrug: Most of us around here don't.
:lol:
Accent map.

Pretty much just those in Midwestern have the right to claim "no accent," since that's the TV-neutral accent the whole world thinks of as generically American.

Which is still an accent.

 
Contrary to what some people here think, there are certain people in this world that deserve a good ### whippin'. This guy is one of those people.

 
I was just talking about the freak show and musicians in the stations. The cars are way too close quarters for performing. Those people suck.

 
Oats > next time you are in the train and scared, maybe you could yell out asking if there are any southerners there?

Chances are you would know as they would have already dealt with this guy, but just to be sure?

Here's the problem as I see it.

We absolutely have accents or dialects or whatever you want to call them. Certain words especially get said differently to kind of give it away to the non-linguist-expert. Having said that, for the most part, in my limited travels up and down the east coast (only been out west once when I was a kid) the whole - OMG that is a thick accent - is way overblown. Some people have massively thick accents but it's rare.More often the accents I see and deal with are because of different languages not region.

What is annoying are the people that overblow the accent thing. The whole, where are you from? Oh, I'm from New Jersey, you? Oh, you live in New Joissseyyy? Yeah, you ****, I do. And if you want my North Jersey Italian temper to come out by all means, say that again you mafankulo.
do you sound like the people on that video? Because if you do the whole accent thing isn't overblown.

Oats, the next time you would like a criminal record, lawsuit against you, and a low paying job to match after being fired, just stand up and slug the guy.

This isn't the South. There are so many jagoffs like that guy in New York City that if you confronted just the ones you randomly run into daily, you'd have to quit your job, stop eating and showering, and play vigilante 20 hours a day.

No I don't. Honestly - and I have had this fight with people that disagree with me - the North Jersey accent is learned and applied. My wife hated it about me and has beaten it out of me to the point that I know I pronouce words a little differently now and I don't use all the same slang and whatnot. You can really take it too far (the whole fuggetaboutit thing - which I can still pull off like I'm a member of the Gambino family but now it just sounds stupid). I think people like to think they are Jersey mob guys and talk like that on purpose when they don't have to.

Exactly why the North won the first and only time we did this before. We're not dumb.

You can make your point without throwing out wild untruths like this. Just pull it back a little on the hyperbole.

Long Island is particularly brutal (AKA the "Mike Francesser"), but I think the good folks of Pittsburgh trump them.

We did an 'annoying accents' pole once or twice, IIRC.

ETA: Tolerating the Boston accent ain't no picnic either.

Brooklynese is very similar FWIW. And as far out on The Island as I am, there are those here who have tried to "learn and apply" it out here as well. Joey Buttafuco, etc... :wall:
