I guess this thread, if it becomes popular, could be a way to find out where someone is from just by listening to them talk.
I have one question though: Where do people refer to you as, "Boss"? I work at the Orlando International Airport and travelers always say, "Thanks Boss".  Is this New York talk?Anyway, from my time growing up near Philadelphia, I can tell you people around there pronounce 'water' 'wooter'. I also know that Brits call a car trunk a 'boot' and a truck a 'lorry'.

What you've got there is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.

No they specifically use 'Boss'. It might be a prison thing, but most of the guys don't have any visible tattoos and are usually with their family. |

Interesting thread. Funny too. I have always viewed America, (US), Great Britain, and Australia as a like people separated by a common language. TT
