Very funny Colette! The one thing here living in the south that I do still do is call my sub sandwiches..... GRINDERS. I also say "Bubabla" for water fountain.
When my sister, from Boston, visits she gets a kick out of my kids' accents. They actually say "All Y'All"! They love the way she says "budda" for butter, caw for car, etc.
Even though I have not lived MA for 20 years people notice that I still have a Boston accent.
Thanks for the post. It brought back very nice memories! 
I don't get it.
LOL
OMG.. I have tears running down my face!!!! "Numbah 96 for Sioux City!!!" That killed me!!!
And I had my one claim to fame as a child!!! I was ON the Major Mudd show!!!! I got to be one of the lucky four to blow the horns at the beginning of the show!!! My grandfather took pictures of me on the TV... you know, sitting in front of the tv... a big, old black and white!!! Wicked Pissa!!!
I never realized how different it is to live in different places! I don't understand over half of these! LOL We live in Indiana, and in our house we have to listen to the long version of Alices Resturant on Thanksgiving! I did'nt realize that was a Mass. thing!
OMG I have lived in Ohio all my life and NONE of those made sense to me! LOL But i'm sure it cracks you guys up. i've seen NE Ohio ones like this that cracked me up.
#4 should be "Your first job was at Canobie Lake or Water Country". LOL.
LOL, those were great!
Okay, I'm not from Boston and I've never been to Boston, but I watched Zoom as a kid and my kids have watched Zoom, so yeah, I can't say "02134" without singing it! LOL!
