philly area accent

The accent of people from Philadelphia and South Jersey, please people do NOT confuse North & South Jersey, North Jersey is more like New York.

A Philly area accent pronounces words such as boat like boot, grass has a long A not a short A, the same for ass and other such words, we're not from England it's a LONG A!!!

Water is wooder

Phone sounds like phoon

This isn't an accent, but a way of life for people who speak in Philly, it is a HOAGIE not a sub, a sub goes in the water not in your mouth!

Oh, and if you diss a Philly team, especially the Eagles, you will hear plenty of the accent in cuss words and may forget this accent because of the blunt force to your head!
