my accent

What American accent do you have? Your Result: Philadelphia Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

Hee. Shocking. Really. Considering I was born in South Philadelphia and have lived fifteen minutes outside the city my entire life.

You're a Pennsylvanian, huh? Awesome. Whereabouts are you? My cousin lives in Upper Darby.

Actually, while I'm a native Philadelphia girl as I was born and lived there when I was very little, I'm more south jersey. But Upper Darby isn't too far from me, just on the other side of the river.

Hee! I'm a native of Upper Darby! Or, as cianconnell likes to call it, Upper F---in' Darby.

And I got Philly as my accent, too.

Hey -- where in South Philly? My mom's family is from there, and my brother and his wife live there now, too.

I got Philadelphia as well, which is odd considering a) I'm Australian, and b) I would have no idea what a Philadelphian accent sounds like!

Maybe it's because we mostly enunciate our words? Well, according to my friends from Los Angeles, I don't know how to say "orange" properly, but other than that...

Here via the FNL friending meme and was immediately intrigued by the quiz only to be horribly offended by it. It gave me Boston! Boston! Home to thousands of rabid Red Sox-loving Massholes! And I've lived in Texas my entire life.

That's really weird. I wouldn't think Boston accent sounds anything like Texas. ::tries to picture my nephew sounding like Matt Damon:: nope, doesn't work. Hee.
