Yunz, jagoff, gumband, 'n-at, warsh, Arn City Beer. Dahntahn. J'eatyet? Slippy, 'SLiberty. Stillers. All in a crazy, unique accent only found in the metropolitan area, that studies have shown transcends all educational and financial levels.

Hook you up: To give to someone a good deal or take care of them.

"Come by the bar tonight and I'll hook you up." or "Let me know when you are ready to buy, I'll hook you up".

Disagree with everyone who keeps talking about how people in "New England" talk, as though we all talk the same! I'm in Connecticut. WE don't add an "r" to our vowel-ended words. WE don't say paahk the kaah in haavahd yaahd. Those are Bostonisms, heard in Boston and surrounding areas (of which Connecticut is not one). If you really want to hear hard-core "New England" accents go to Newport, Rhode Island. We in CT actually pronounce the R exactly where it appears in the word, and rarely anywhere else.

Some of us have an odd affectation, mostly people who are from the Valley area of the state:

We get super-nasal. So instead of the name "Nancy" being pronounced "nan" (as in cat) cy.. it's more like "Neee-ehn" (as in knee-high sox) cy. "And" becomes "eee-end" and can't becomes "keee-en" - with a little cough sound at the end of the word since that's how we pronounce words that end in the letter T for some reason.

I'm from and live in New Haven county, home to a whole lot of Italians (we're very diverse, but Italians are a HUGE culture here)

Pizza = abeetz
Mozzarella = mutz
The Joey Tribiani "how YOU dooin" is not uncommonly heard.
We have adopted a lot of New Yorkisms, since as everyone knows, Connecticut is a suburb of New York City

Our curses are vulgar and unapologetic. We don't substitute (the words represented by the acronym stfu) for "hush yo mouth" or "shut the front door" unless we're trying to be funny. Some of us keep our vulgarity to ourselves, and of course there are times when our speech -should- be a little more refined (in church, in front of elementary school kids, in front of our grandmothers) but the rest of us pepper our conversations generously with them, and don't really give it much thought.

For the record....I have NEVER heard anyone from New Jersey pronounce it as "JOISEY" It doesn't happen!

[Ecuadog]

I thought this thread was about "words and expressions," not pronunciation.

Many people in the Green Bay area say "yous" which is the plural or you. So instead of saying "y'all" we say "yous"...

Yous want to grab a beer?
