...Never heard that one....The quintessential "Philly accent" relies on a lot of "oh"s...if that's the phonetic way of pronouncing it...Like instead of boat, it's "bo-oht". If that makes sense or instead of bathing suit...it's baidin suit.....A professor from Penn has directed his entire studies towards it....Has a lot of influence on the Baltimore accent too....It's less to do with the "New Yorker" way of speaking...That's why Sly Stallone's accent in Rocky disappoints me.
My result was Northeast and as Philadelphia as a cheesteak! Even though I damn that stereotype!!
And it's said "Phillufya"
That is an awesome quiz.
They pegged me for North Central (Minnesota) and that I'm probably mistaken for Canadian a lot.
Funny though, unlike their description, I think the characters in Fargo sounded ridiculous
even the Romans couldnt defeat the Scots... i see no reason to suggest that a city full of fat crack addicts will defeat us.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
yep, not a "you's" guy either....you mean northeast philly?
Absolutely not! I say you's and I can't stand Northeast Philly. Northeast Philly can eat it hard for all I care. No offense to those in here from the NE...but seriously...eat it...hard.
Nah, NE of the U.S. I don't say you's often either. But, we def don't say y'all.
The y'all is just not who we are.
the "you's" thing is something i always associated with ne philly....and i am not a huge fan of that area either. what do i know, i'm from radnor! hahaha
look at the tough guys arguing about how you say words... in Scotland you'd all (y'all) be cremated by now.

Yeah, you's is definitely NOT a northeast Philly thing....I almost take offense to that.

While they debate whether or not they say you's ... do you think we should point out that is one thing they would have in common with the Scots as youse say it all the time!
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

You guys are claiming that Philly is so awesome, and argue with Dunk about him saying he's surprised there are some bad parts.... and then you start talking shit about Northeast Philly. I don't get it.
Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

we're from here. we're allowed to rip on the northeast.

Exactly. It's like when black people use that word - "Hey, man, that's OUR word!"
Anyway Jeagler, I'm sure people in the northeast say it, but it's not the only place. And my problem with the NE is that they wanted to be annexed from the rest of the city a while ago, and wanted to be called the Greater Northeast. Bullshit on that.

Title is Philly's Finest Crackkheadss' and it's some old guy dancing around picking up garbage
Nice.
I'd say, "I wish I could see this," but I'm sure I very often see this outside my house anyway.
Trouble reading sarcasm?
Must be the Canadian thing... I heard they can't read up there.
You underestimate a crackhead's ability to go without sleep. They'd wait until you drunks passout then steal your money, maybe pee on you too.
i have never uttered that phrase at any point in my entire existence.

You's is more of a South, Southwest, DelCo thing.
...that's right.
yeah it is. i know a bunch of people from up there who say "you's" all the time. my roomate in college went to archbishop ryan and always said it.
While they debate whether or not they say you's ... do you think we should point out that is one thing they would have in common with the Scots as youse say it all the time!
Yeah I'm gonna have to vote for Scotland too.;) The fact that they are arguing over who says you's sealed the deal.:D
