If you watch Trailer Park boys, you'll notice that Ricky says oot and aboot sometimes if he's talking fast, but mostly he does say aboat.

@canuckman87 of course it doesn't sound like "aboot" to you, because you're canadian. I guarentee that if you ask most Americans, It sounds like you're saying "aboot" to us. when you're saying "about". I personally think it sounds more like "AH-BEAU-t" than "AH-boot". I'm american, and i say " AH-BOWT"

Man. Your not even close.Im from the ottawa valley and we are the ones with the accent. Its more so expressions than words. look for "weh" like "holy weh". "hoser" "chum" "cooking with gas"....this is a hack video man. Sorry to say so.
