You would not believe the accent these people in the MD/VA area have.....
I have lived in NJ for all of my life, and never have I heard the word "Joisey".
But then Pat picks on the way I say Merriland.
I never noticed I had a slight Maryland accent, but he would always poke fun at me and say," How are the cows in MARY..land doin?" I guess you have to be born and raised in Maryland to really have that slight Elvis twang like," How ya'll doin?" :lol:
I think the Maryland folks sound like "Northerners", definitely never thought of it as a southern accent (gee, I wonder why :lol
I spent my summers as a kid in Del Haven NJ (near Cape May), loved the boardwalk in Wildwood, got my first job in Rio Grande NJ at a Taco Bell (ironic, I know). I've known the Jersey accent for a long time so I understand it well. Actually always thought it was a pretty cool accent, definitely different from anywhere else.
My accent is from Arkansas, not WV. Folks in WV ask me all the time where I'm from, I have 2 responses that I like to give them... 1) Boston 2) New York. You should see the look I get from em
