Those Illiterate knuckleheads should get kicked right off the Cape!!!

They think they're all gonna hook up with Jessica Biel like Freddie Prinze Jr. , but they'll be lucky to second base with Jillian from Marshfield.

I you could find a 2nd baseman from England he'd nail all the names.

I still can't find Woostah on a map....

I'd like to hear them try to pronounce "Revere" the same way someone from that town would say it.

 

[Roberto71]

Send them all straight up Woods Hole.

The comment about the English is right, they have some very strange pronunciations.

For instance, this constituent college of Oxford, Magdelen College. How would you pronounce it? If any US people get it right, I'll know you Googled it.

There is a Leominster in England as well, but they say it like Lem-ster.

Maximum points for this one: Cholmondeley.

I have friends who live in Peabiddy and Woobin. (Peabody and Woburn).

My wife is from Taunton and they have a strange pocket of dialect. I can't even write a phonetic. Tunh (pause) ehn. They drop not only R's but
T's from the middle of words and substitute a brief pause. There is a kih-en with mih-ens in Tunh-en. There is a kitten with mittens in Taunton.

I like baked, stuffed quahogs which are pronounced Co-hogs round here. Simple and correct. In Rhode Island they become Kworh-haworhgs. Almost impossible
accent to duplicate. Like New York on steroids. Great fun to ask them to pronounce certain words.

I spent last weekend on the Cape and it is my belief that it is the epicenter for phony pretentiousness in New England.

Not to dump on the whole place, because it isn't all like that, but I know a woman that had a nice-but-nothing-great house in Ostahville and she feels
like that gives her free license to talk exactly like Lovey Howell. It does not. And don't get me started on those New York imports who think New Seabury is the heighth of class.

Claaahhhhhs. Rhymes with aahhhhhssss.

Cape Cod. Beautiful place, but when you cross that bridge it can be a metaphorical transition. And I always feel relieved when I cross back over to my world.

Not you, RG, because you wouldn't put on airs like you hung out with the Kennedys (back when that was still cool), but you know what I'm saying.

We feel the same way about Massholes trying to pronounce the cities and towns here in Maine.
Bust their bust their balls every chance we get.

 

[HSanders]

Hyannis = High-anus

Why do i feel like you would have put it this way even if they really pronounced it "ishkabibble"?

in 2019 I spent two nights at the most remote lake in Maine and east of the Mississippi, Lake Wassataquoik.

We say it Wha-sah-tah-kwok which we think is right but we're still not sure.

And that isn't really all that bad compared to a lot of places in Maine. Nesowadnehunk is a good one.

I think that is Micmac for "sends messages to the Jets"

"ishkabibble" -- That's fun to say!

Don't start with us. I was just up in the Finger Lakes and every time somebody said the word "salad" I flinch.

Seeyah-lid.

That is just not right.

It took a bit to get use to it but my fave is Leominster .

Now I’m not going to lie Chichester in NH is another fun one lol

That would make me flinch, too. That Downstate (NY) Accent is the most annoying there is. Fortunately, Western NY spent generations losing it.
As for Boston, I always knew about Worcester, going back to the first time I went up there to work, but sheeesh! It seems like there's actual intent to avoid all grammatical pronunciations whenever possible. lmao.
