Only in Cincinnati? :p</p>
<p>^ For the most part, no. But if you go in a bar right outside Fenway Pahk, you would find a bunch of those pure Boston accents that people love to hate.</p>
<p>Cool beans. –> West coast, anyone?</p>
<p>^I sometimes say cool beans (in TX) but I’m kind of a dork at times and say spiffy and other dorky things.</p>
<p>I’m from new orleans, live in canada and go to school in [well, near] boston. According to my mother, i had a bit of a drawl before we moved [about 2 years ago] since then, my accent’s pretty much neutralized, so i have no accent 
The only people I know with Boston accents are a few teachers and one of my friends’ moms</p>
<p>cool beans? what is that? never heard of it</p>
<p>anyone ever heard of “you don’t tell”? Hear we hear “no way” or less often, “get outta here”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Just before you get to Bar Harbor is where I live</p>
<p>Instead of just saying “cool” you say “cool beans!”</p>
<p>It’s on urban dictionary and if you guys have seen the South Park episode with the Jakovosauruses, they say it :D</p>
<p>^think that’s where I got it, it’s just something stupid to say</p>
<p>^ '80s terms aren’t stupid, they’re deck</p>
<p>
“Mutter mutter mutter?”
“Please?”
“I was asking after your daughter.”</p>
<p>
Ahhh, a Cincinnatian! I call everything legit. But I thought everyone said grind.
Oh, I thought of something. Everyone here says that things are “skep,” but I say “sketch” because my sister learned that at college, unsure of origin.</p>
<p>
It’s a non-rhotic accent. An awful lot of people call Harvard “Havahhhhd” in an over-exaggeration of this – including, somewhat strangely, my deaf aunt.</p>
<p>I live in California. No one where I live says “hella”, but I guess that makes sense since I live in southern CA.</p>
<p>I can’t really think of any other slang exclusive to CA… we do say “like” a lot here though…</p>
<p>Hmm, I don’t really know many things specific to Chicago. Ghetto people say “fo” alot kind of like how someone would use “joe.” Ex: What up, fo? It’s came from a gang in Chicago called the Four Corner Hustlers.</p>
<p>In Houston, we speak heavily in Ebonics.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve only heard of that in “Sarah, Plain and Tall.”</p>
<p>Great book, by the way.</p>
<p>We have the standard guido nonsense here. I can’t wait to leave my area of Long Island. And in Harlem, where I work, there’s a glorious mix, ranging from the ladies who speak French at the cafe down the block to the worst slang/Ebonics you’ll ever hear. I like it. :)</p>
<p>In New York around NYC people say “schmuck” for idiot, but the stereotypical Brooklyn accent isn’t as common as people think. When you go away from Manhattan the accents get stronger till you hit Queens, then its almost everywhere. “Mad” is used a lot here also, I hardly hear “totally” unless someone is imitating a valley girl accent. Like is used a lot, but that’s everywhere I think.</p>
<p>I’m in Socal and totally and like are abundant. Hella is strictly Norcal.</p>
<p>“legit”, “word”, “awesome”, “cool”, “sick”… all popular terms where I live.</p>
<p>lock does not rhyme with walk.</p>
<p>we dont say gawd or hawt or lawk, its God and hot and lock. with a ish sounds.</p>
<p>Laik, ah know, raight! -Mainly used by girls… Guys typically just say “Ah know raight?”</p>
<p>'t’all -instead of “at all”</p>
<p>y’all, y’all’s, y’all’l, y’all’d… -y’all replace most personal pronouns in most situations…</p>
<p>fuh sho, f’shoa -among my friends that go to public school…</p>
<p>Any and all internet memes/Princess Bride references -among my homeschooled friends, at least the nerds/geeks (which is most of us :P).</p>
<p>Legit -used a lot by one circle of friends…</p>
<p>Orsome (deep voice) -used by a couple of girls I know.</p>
<p>shdup -said fircely between teeth any time someone makes a good comeback, basically a joking aknowledgement of defeat.</p>
