  • you sound like an australian with down syndrome?

  • Sounds more like a Boston accent. People from Boston use "AH" sounds while New Yorkers use "AW" sounds. Someone from Boston would say "Ha-bah" (Harbor) while someone from NYC would say "Haw-buh".

  • This woman is full of crap - she has little idea as to what she'd talking about, and is she is a NYC native something is wrong, I'd say there is NO way she is.

  • at what point in my life will i need to ask some 1 if cartwheels are harmful at the bar ? surely if i'm willing to do cartwheels at the bar im to drunk to ask if its harmful

  • First rule of Fight Club: Don't try to imitate a New Yorker unless you're FROM New York.

    Second rule of Fight Club: DON'T TRY TO IMITATE A NEW YORKER UNLESS YOU'RE FROM NEW YORK.

    FYI: The closest accent to this is Boston. There is NO variant of the NY accent that resembles what she is doing.
