The best example of a real Boston accent on You Tube. Put these guys together in a Pub where they are all talking fast and using colorful language and Boston slang. Your head will spin
Bang! I was bon (born) and raised in MA. When I go down south, man, they really pick up on it. Constantly pointing out my accent. They seemed to like my accent.
I'm a 2nd generation Irish from NYC. Grew up with lots of Italians, Greeks, Polish Irish and some Germans. Boston NYC and Philadelphia break each other's balls but were so similar. Sad that these old school, working class Europeans are disappearing. Not hating at all on newer immigrants, just wish there would still be a little of the old NYC left
Well, that's because these working-class Europeans's children don't want to remain stuck in the working-class income bracket and so they get their fancy college degree and get a good paying job that affords them a life in a suburb, living as middle-class or upper-middle class.
@@bigwhite21 No it's not, do you think the nouveau monied transplants would deign to go anywhere near a port unless they were disembarking a yacht? They were working class locals. They still exist you know, they weren't eliminated.
My heritage is Half Italian/Sicilian and half Irish... the Irish side is from New York and Jersey and the Italian/Sicilian side is from Boston,Fall River Mass and Providence Rhode Island
I enjoy your videos and this is another good one. Boston has so many accents and everyone there is a character you could put in a movie. I grew up there but struggled to fit in because my folks were from the Midwest. So the accent challenge was real. It's not just about the "r's" but a whole rhythm and cadence and super abundance of colorful expressions. You gotta be able to show all of that to fit in. Since that was hard for me I had to move away.
Had a roommate who had moved out to Oregon from Roxbury, Mass. He was full blooded Italian, but looked Irish because he had fair skin and red hair( he said he was descended from Northern Italians, who are more fair skinned and their hair often lighter colored). He had a deep Southie accent especially after a few beers. I remember him calling the living room or what I was raised to call the front room, the parlor. He also called what most refer to as a sofa or a couch the davenport, and jeans or Levi's he referred to as dungarees. The greatest line he ever said though was, as a group of us were walking through a parking lot, a man gets out of a slick looking remodeled '69 Dodge Charger, and he says to the guy "dat's a wicked hawd Dodge Chawga yas gots dare, pally." We still bring it up and laugh about that line whenever we see a Charger or watch a Red Sox game.
“A wicket hawt chahhh-juhh yuh gawt thayuh “ more like. But thank you for that. I’m a Masshole and I love this stuff because all around New England there are so many inflections. Thanks again.
i'm from the northshore and I could tell he was from southie, I spent a lot of time in the northend. the boston accent is heavy from the northend to the northshore to peabody. Southie has their own spin on the accent.
The first two guys sound a lot like old Brooklyn. My Italian Grandparents sounded a lot like this, except for the vowel differences the way they say tAHk and Wahk. Brooklyn is more Wauhk and Tauhk.
It's a mix of colonial Brits with 1800s/1900s Irish immigrants. At one point Boston was 50% 1st and 2nd generation Irish, Bostonians sounded much different before the Irish came and had much more British sounding accent

@@Patienthost you can give me a ring and I’ll let you know how good it sounds 😉😋
My best friend in the Marine Corps was an Irish southie. What a trip that guy was, and the slang I learned from him was amazing.
Bostonians are such characters! Wish I still had the accent.

I thought that was De Niro
I was on a ship in the Boston Drydock in 2012. You could still feel the authenticity in the air.

I love it the Boston accent - my neighbors sound like these guys ❤
Great guys, local guys.

This channel is a treasure trove for linguistics nerds

I’m guessing you drink a lot

I love this video. It feels like home.
They put my man George through it all

Just close your eyes and youll hear Paulie walnut tell a guy "Come here this is right up Alley" 😂
Guy with the sunglasses sounds like Jay Leno but with a heavier accent.
Jay Leno is from Andover, Massachusetts.
@@chenzenzo I’m from lowell and I think the only reason I can hear a little bit of accent is bc his is real thick

Yeah...right. you are full of sh**
I'd say, "Thatsa' wicked hawt Dodge Char'ja you's got they'uh." I'm from MA, about an hour away from Boston, but we sound about 99% like S. Boston.
@edith bunker
I pronounce, "A wickid hawt char'ja they'uh."
Bon (born) and raised in MA. I'm about an our'ah (hour) from Boston.
When people had character. Love it

South shore is where all the Bostonians move to. Way more Boston accents on the SS

Damn they tortured George McAvoy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:50 This guy is 28 years old
Sounds just like my deceased father in law. Wonderful.
Tommy Burns the man in the Sox hat was a very close friend of my father. So funny I came across the video.
Has he passed away? Seems like a real stand up guy
I noticed that George McAvoy doesn't have the horse-hoarse merger
Good guys
George McEvoy is the salt of the earth.
He’s mAAhreed, and has 2 children
The first two guys sound a lot like old Brooklyn. My Italian Grandparents sounded a lot like this, except for the vowel differences the way they say tAHk and Wahk. Brooklyn is more Wauhk and Tauhk.
My grandfathers in this. Do you have more footage?
C 789 at what time stamp. Is he still alive?
KILLMOORE unfortunately he has passed away.

Dollars to donuts, dude in the white jacket knows a guy
Back when people had respect.
Over the top Southie guy, normal Charlestown guy. Typical
Surprised they didn’t fight over who is more Irish.
I had to look up that guys address and how it looks like a parking lot☹️

Say it with me PAHK THE CAH IN THE GARAHG

I'm an original chowdahead.
influence of the British, colonial times, the British accent stuck but changed over time

His wife is named "Mahge", because of course she is!
People will say that to you in Daytona Beach, FL when i was theyah, "You pahrk your cahr in the Harhvid yahrd?
I said, "No, I'd get a ticket."
that's when I usually go into a full-blown Boston accent, and they need an interpreter understand what I've said lol
10:50-10:58 I do that too!! 🛫
Yous
The Town
"The Town" is referring to Charlestown, which is next to Cambridge and on the other side of Charles River. Southie is the opposite end of Boston.
The Town isn't southie
@@noskcaj1665 that is correct Charlestown is not in Southie
I’ve gawt a wife named MODGE. In my free time I like phatawgraphy and I coach sawka
