    We don't always drop the 'G'. It depends on which part of NY you gone to. Upstate NY is different from Downstate NY.

  • the "soichin'" word was a bit much, but you pretty much nailed the rest. Bravo. :)

  • @Vaxliscious Nobody in NJ says "joisey" In NJ we are "rhotive" speakers (look it up)

    It's people from Long Island who move to NJ who speak like that.

  • @msm0993 Yes...Bugs...good observation (and Archie Bunker)

  • SHE IS SO WRONG ABOUT DROPPING THE G. THAT'S HOW ITALIANS IN STATEN ISLAND. SPEAK.

    SHE'S MERELY DOING A COPY OF ARCHIE BUNKER'S ACCENT. NOBODY IN NY SAYS "SOICHIN"

  • expert village do every New Yorker, and the people watching at home a favor, and let them know the New York Dialect your giving them is the Long Island Dialect. I grew up in Queens my entire life, and I will admit I have a very deep accent. But we never say 'Soich'in' thats long islanders right there, and anyone planning on using her technique use it in the right neighborhoods, cause someone might actually slap the taste out of your mouth if they here you say soichin in Bensonhurst.

  • @Austyg I stand corrected as i didn't know that... but hey, you learn something new everyday :D thanks

  • @Cannellrc ... Hm, actually, the ending "-ing" can be two different entities: either a "present participle", or a "gerund".

  • ya nevah staap soichin fa ma many: the soich fa many.

    LOL

  • She reminds me of Fran Drescher, just less nasal.
