I'm born & raised in Philly. She's got it down. Everyone goes with "wooder".... It's a hard accent to get down just right. You have to rush your words.
I love this show for Philly. I find myself Googling lines that reference the city. I remember in the "Juice" episode where they clogged the toilets from over usage, Mr. Johnson made a BTW comment that it reminded of the 1974 Temple Homecoming. Was that a thing?
I grew up in Chester county but my father's relatives lived at 5th and Lombard and in Tasker Morris (South Philadelphia) and also Burlholm Park area of the Northeast. They had strong accents quite different from each other and my mother (Overbook) who couldn't even understand my father when they met in 1950. My cousin's first husband had a Kensington accent.
What a lot of outsiders don't understand about Philly accents is that there isn't just one. South Philly is what people always think of but there's also Delco and there's the upper class Main Line accent which is quite different (see "Philadelphia Story").
There is a general Philadelphia accent you can hear not only in the city but throughout the four "collar counties". The Philadelphians who spoke it moved out of the city starting 1950 and brought their accents with them.
I just visited Detroit and the bus driver said, you don't sound like you have the accent then I spoke more Philly words and she was like omg yeah your from Philly. And she goes oh yeah definitely wooder for sure! She said don't be embarrassed to taw, can't change where your from
Philadelphians have the most studied accent by linguists. We do something with our tongue here when we "tawk". The reason why no one can perfectly nail the Philly accent is because if you aren't born and raised here, then you just don't have it. I'm intrigued by accents. In the "educated" world there are no accents. Ppl talk in monotone. I went away to college and purposely kept my Philly accent, even though they all laughed at me for saying "wooder". Although the Philly accent is my least fave accent (I have a deep one - those of us who grew up in the inner city usually do) I embrace it because it is part of who I am. Hardcore, proud, blue collar, real, rough around the edges, chip on my shoulder Philadelphian. Because of globalization, this new generation doesn't have accents as deep as the prior generation. Globalization is taking the heart and soul out of all American cities. So is gentrification.
I grew up in Philly too. But its pronounced "WA-TER." With an "A" and a "T." I might still have an accent, but "wood-ur" is simply not how H20 is said. My dad says it like that, but i guess it skips a generation because WATER has a fucking A and T in it in my book.
" In the "educated" world there are no accents. Ppl talk in monotone." If you were fascinated by accents, you would know that's not possible. Everyone has an accent. Dolphins have accents.
@@tribbergrips1613 What part of Philly did you grow up in? I hate to break it to ya but when toddlers are learning how to "tawk" they aren't even aware of what consonances or vowels are pal. Usually by the time we are taught how to pronounce consonances and vowels, our language is already set in place. Here's my second question. Did ya ever go to college? If you didn't you won't be aware of what I'm "tawking" about. Usually, that's where the accent is changed. My older brother went away to college and I watched him change the way he said things. It bothered me to my core, sometimes it still bothers me. He doesn't say "wooder" anymore because in the "edumucated" world there is only one "proper" way to say "water". The accent change starts once you are amongst college "edumucated" peers. When I went away to college I purposely kept mine. The fact is, there is only one correct way to say water. Also, in the "edumucated" world if you have an accent you are considered to be stupid and/or uneducated. So, yes, in the "edumucated" world everyone speaks in monotone and purposely tries to recondition their brain to say things the "proper" way. If Philadelphians hear someone say "water" and not "wooder" we all will assume they aren't from Philly. Because everyone who has a Philly accent says "wooder".
@@tribbergrips1613 If you grew up in the burbs then you have no right to comment on this bc suburbanites only have traces of our accent. Real deep Philly accents are in our inner cities, a place outsiders don't have the heart to step into. Places like South Philly, Kensington, Fishtown, Bridesburg and Port Richmond have extremely deep Philly accents. Even those that aren't in the inner city have fairly deep accents too. For example, places like Mayfair. Yes, I am intrigued by accents. This is how I know the average Joe loses theirs in college.
As a young black male Philadelphian (millennial), I couldn't agree more with you. It's a shame within younger generations accents are dying. I'm aware we black, Hispanic, and white Philadelphians have our own specific versions of this accent. I too find accents interesting! I'll never be ashamed to say wooder, tal, awn, Filaduffia) no matter I go in the US lol. My black teacher in hs was from NC and he would make fun of how say wooder. One thing I notice about British ppl is that they tend to be intrigued by this accent. We don't have exposure in media like NYC does. I've had them question my nationality as if they were unsure, or didn't believe I'm American a few different times. I was confused for a South African accent twice. My Californian friend thinks I sound like his Baltimore friend. (Cringe) Lol. I don't know about for white Philly and white Baltimore, but black Baltimore accent is different than black Philly. Those Os, and Us there are horrid. Lmao! Funnily enough I had a guy from Baltimore truly think I was from Boston no bs. Even after I told him I'm not he was so convinced I was lying. Lol Have you ever been mistaken for an Aussie, or Kiwi by any American or Brit before? Just curious!
My neighborhood friend growing up in the suburbs of Philly was of German decent. Basically Pennsylvania Dutch which is what the English thought they said when they said Duetch. His parents spoke that way. Like "up-Staters". That accent has German words mixed with English and their own words. Haint so means "Not so" as an exclamation that means more like, "you must be kidding me." They have their own grammer; outen the light instead of turn off the light. "Go wash your head off" means go wash your face and hands. "Throw me down the stairs my coat" means toss my coat down the stairs to me. "Back ahead a little" which means to move back or ahead such as while parking into a tight space. I never figured that one out.
James was thinking Dry ice is frozen CO2. Water ice is just ice. It's a snow cone outside of Philadelphia. Shaved ice in a cone with flavored sugar water poured on it.
Blink 182 is dead on. We are like the Cali surfer accent of the East Coast. We love going: "down the shore, yo." "dewen tha shewr yeaow." Every summer we go "down the shore." As opposed to "Down TO the shore" (Philli people tend to drop certain things that are grammatically odd to everyone else but normal to them.)
Her accent was a bit South Philly which is different than the rest of Philly. Especially the women in South Philly who often have a more nasal form of the drawn-out vowels. But all Philla accents stretch out the vowels in some words. Doing becomes dooowin. Shore becomes Shoar. Water becomes wooder. Oh becomes aaoooooowooo.😊
It's slightly different. New Jersey has two accents. The one that is the same as the Philly accent and another that is the same as a New York accent. The one that people associated most with being a New Jersey accent is the New York accent. Some would argue that New Jersey has a distinct accent from both regions but I think that's a misconception. It's really about whether you closer to Philly or New York and what your ethnicity is. If you're interested in hearing the difference watch a show like the Sopranos (NJ) or see Amy Poehler in Baby Mama (Philly) or Kate Winslet in that detective show.
A classic Philly accent can easily be heard in New Jersey, especially South Jersey because many Philadelphians move there. But in other sections of New Jersey, the accent is very different from the Philly accent. Since you're British, you may know that the great film actor and comic Peter Sellers was a master at various British accents. Many Americans mistakenly believe there are only a few British accents. But I once heard Peter Sellers demonstrate dozens of unique accents that can be heard in various parts of England.
Lisa Ann Walter's Philly was "mid", @TheLateLateShow. WAY TOO,.. Over. THE. Top. Didn't even mention: "Coak" (Coca-Cola), or hoagie. THAT stated, she was able to sneak in: "wooder" (water) and "jeet" (Did you eat?), but forgot "No... D'jew?" (No. Did you?). Nonetheless, this video is TRBL!!!
I had a college roommate from Philly who used to rave about water ice. Finally tried it a couple of years later and, while it is somewhat different, the best way I can explain it to someone is still to say it's kinda like italian ice
Italian water (wooder) ice is like a sorbet, but it’s sweetened with your choice of flavored syrup (seerup), rather than made from fruit. Rita’s is a popular chain, but mom & pop shops usually make the best water ice.
I grew up in Northeast Philly and we don’t talk like that except for the word “wooder” instead of “water”. I have relatives in South Philly and personally I think her accent is exaggerated quite a bit.
I don’t know where this “jeet” thing comes from..I think that’s Pittsburgh but it’s def not Philly. I’m a Philly area man, born and raised, as well as a language enthusiast…and I’m pretty confident that that is inaccurate. (I’ve heard it in other Philly accent vids, too).
I think that's what it sounds like to outsiders--but we don't say "geet" or "jeet", we say "did-ja-eat" like really freaking fast. If you're not used to it, your ear can't distinguish from "geet" and "did-ju-eat" said really fast and mushed together. But there is a distinction between the two.
I'm born & raised in Philly. She's got it down. Everyone goes with "wooder".... It's a hard accent to get down just right. You have to rush your words.
Same here. Usually, actors don't get it right. It always sounds more like a New York or Boston accent. Lisa kills it though!

Matthew should try a water ice! I tried one when I visited Philadelphia and it was the most strange, unexpected thing but really yummy!
Wooder ice
NEVER had a "wooder" ice? what planet are you from, b/c it's NOT a regional thing, y'know.
There is a general Philadelphia accent you can hear not only in the city but throughout the four "collar counties". The Philadelphians who spoke it moved out of the city starting 1950 and brought their accents with them.
Also in South Jersey
Especially Delco.

Outside of Philly that "o" sound is def unique in English.
It's also prevalent in Baltimorese.
Even more confusing is to travel around the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and hear its FIVE distinct accents, the most of any state in the US.
WAY more that just/only five.

Hmmmm! My mom grew up in Philly and she didn't talk like that. I guess it depends on what part you are from.
Far northeast and Manayunk don't really have the accent much. For the full thick accent, go to south philly.
