I practically grew up in New Hampshire (Jaffrey), we spent so much time there.

We had certain phrases we'd use to "make fun" of the locals:

"Open the bah, Nahman."

"Take out the gahbage."

I'm from Joisey ... I know from making fun of accents!

My DH works with a bunch of guys from the same area and they call a hose a "hose-pipe". Drives him absolutely batty-it's either a hose, or a pipe, not both. He got the definition of hose & pipe out to show them, apparently it's 'the' term in that locale.

As a former actress, I can speak without an accent very well, but when I am home in Texas (which is all the time...lol), I have quite an accent! And I say southern things. I was at the bank drive up the other day and the thing you put your money in was not there. So I pushed the call button and said "I need the doober". OMG. My girls and laughed so hard we were crying! She sent it and understood me, but I swear, I must have sounded like the biggest hick on earth!

My pet peeves...

Ideal for idea
Jury or julery for jewelry
nukular for nuclear
liberry for library

But I have loved some wonderful country people who spoke that way... so I generally just smile.
