"Phy lay delf Aye Ay
Chai kay go (Funny, some folks call it Chi town, as is "Chai" town . . . or is that shy town????
Green witch, and what is the problem with that, we wonders, Precious? Sandwich uses the w . . . so did the Earl, and the Islands he applied his lunchly name to. Them folks from Green Witch strike me as being all at sea (OK, I wonder if the Church was all agog some years back at the thought of having some colored witch at the Prime Meridian . . . ;) ) burn them at the stake! Or, was that, let's have them over for a steak dinner? Idiom can be so confusing . . .
Connecticut: Ah yes, the Connect the Dots state, Up there, the folks choose to swallow their "T" to where mittens sounds like "mih uns". The T is caught in the back of the throat instead of hitting the teeth . . . unless it gets lucky and starts a word, like Texas, T-Bird, #$%&, or Tecate. (No, that's not Tee kait, it is a Mexican brand of beer, Teh-kah-tay)
As for Poughkipsie . . . yeah, who the heck imported all of those extra letters from France????
The mush mouthers of the Tidewater area pronounce "Nor Folk" "Naw FukK" Many jokes about the name of that town . . . "We can't drink nor f___" being one of the most easily remembered.
Having lived too close to Baltimore for far too long, I can only say "yep" the locals can be mildly mush mouthy. I wonder how Lord Baltimore pronounced his own name? I bet Bill Bryson would know . . .
