[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1369826, member: 19397"] When I was in college I worked at a Napa. We would get the loggers coming out of the woods for parts to fix their skidders and trucks. Some of them have the New England equivalent to mush mouth, and it was pretty difficult to understand. Anyone ever see that Downeast Dickering show? This is how Mainers really talk. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilj8fLaI-2o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilj8fLaI-2o[/url] I have it somewhat on certain words. I say 'at' like I was saying 'hat' but swallowing the 'h' and 'that' in a similar fashion. I can say in normal, but it's difficult and forced. The only other word that I know I say is 'money' which I say 'muhney.' Those are my last holdovers. However, if you pay me enough money, I can drop right back into it with the best of them. A fun one to say is "Yessuh" for yes and "buhbby" as an affectionate nickname for someone. My other favorite is "Ahyeht" for "yes." It's truly a language all to its own. Also, if you get a chance, pick up an Uncle Henry's like in the video. They're pretty interesting. It's like Craig's List but without the pictures and little weirder. I used to read them all the time as a kid. If you swing by Cabot at all (which you might have to go a bit out of the way for) there is a cheese factory that produces the best cheese. For Christmas, my mom will have some shipped to me. It's my yearly treat. How? Because cows are the best, of course. [/QUOTE]
