Regional Accents - Manchester, NH

I've seen a few other videos like this, and I figured I'd make one too. Seemed like a cool idea. I'm told sometimes that I don't sound like I'm from here, but we'll see, eh?

Say These Words:

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting Image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

Now answer these questions:

What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

I also never heard the work "Sneakers" refered to footware until the 1980s. Growing up in LA in the 1960 & 1970s it was "Tennis Shoes" pronunced "Tenna-Shoes"

Me 1960-1980 SoCal. 1980-2000 SanFran 2000-2012 SoNH. The bug that curls up - a Sow Bug. A fizzy drink is a Soft-Drink. It's ANT not Aunt. It's APE-ricot, no AP-ricot. Yes, I am learning to adapt to SoNH speak, but I forget often. What I find the most difficult to accept is that weird 2nd R put into words like 'Draw-Ring" or "With drawRal" I have never heard this anywhere but here. Weird.
