Wow, hockey players have a lot of bad luck. Especially those who have played for the Redwings.

I don't really care for hockey. This kid who went to my old school was a little too into it and the whole Canada deal. As an 8th grader it was cool to make fun of the Canadian gym teacher whenever he said jog. I mean granted I have an ugly Chicago accent, but that teacher...boy did he have a funny Canadian accent. And whenever we made fun of the teacher, the boy would be like.."what the hell is wrong with you? DO YOU HATE CANADA? Do you hate hockey? Why do you hate me?" I was like, whoa there buddy. Calm down.

what an interesting retort to someone having a seizure....

in response to juniormint-

that reminds me of first period today I had an asc (study) and the teacher is from Colorado and she was making fun of our Boston accents....

Like this one kid said "Turn on the heart light" (dont ask why) and she heard "turn on the hot light"
And then they were talking about how odd the Chicago accent is.(to us, of course), and how when they go visit relatives in chicago and other parts of the country they have to explain what "wicked" means.

It was amusing.

sorry, babe. i was trying to be emphatic.

I don't think Chicago's accent is weird. I don't even notice the accent really. Probably because Michigan's accent is similar.

Unless you happen to be from the U.P. That's a different story.

I know what wicked means. I don't like to say it though. I prefer cool or perhaps even an awesome. That's just how I roll. I actually don't have much of a Chicago accent. I mean I say soda and I say bra not brah. Yeah I know I am cursed with a bland way of talking. Oh well. When I was in Boston, I only encountered one person with a Bostonian accent. I lied. Perhaps 3 people. It was...interesting. I was in shock. Not really, just kinda giggly after. Oh, that was quite the day.

I think they were talking about their older realtives, like grandparents, who didn't understand wicked.

And my boston accent isnt even bad, but it IS noticeable.

If someone came up to you and asked you where the packy was, or if you had any tonic because they were wicked thirsty,or where "Peppidge Fahm" was, or if you knew how to ride a huss, i doubt anyone not from boston would know what they meant.

I even have trouble with the huss one, sometimes.

digger0sex

Que Crazy.
Do you say soda? Because I do. I should say pop though. I feel like a damn fool though when I say pop.

thephantommilk

yeah i say soda, but i still know people who call it tonic.

and fyi, the packy is the liquor store, becaus ethey used to sell liquor only in packs, tonic i already explained, wicked is fairly obvious, peppidge fahm is Pepperidge Farm, a chain of food stores (which is also responsible for goldfish- the snack that smiles back), and a huss is a horse.

I do. Our mayor has quite possibly the WORST Chicago accent on the face of this great earth. I don't know how an educated man can sound so foolish. I don't think that we are that bad except for with our a's. Example: MAHdison(madison). AHccent (accent). HAHt (hat). LAHmp (lamp).

rain7look

I call it pop. Because that's how Michigander's talk.

edit: also, those who live by Canada can obtain a Canadian accent. Go talk to my art teacher.

AND, my French teacher has a "yooper" accent (stupid word, but that's what L.P. citizens call U.P. citizens)

digger0sex

I know someone from Michigan who calls it pop too. He was weird though. A little too emo for my taste.

thephantommilk

... i think tonic still wins

seriously, why tonic?

although my cousins in PA claim that every single kind of soda is called coke, no matter what it actually is.
I find that hysterical.
