Accents and dialects in real life can be amusing, too. I am from the US. In the mid-80s I lived in Germany with my now ex who was in the USAF. After living in Germany for 3 years, I went to Scotland and was happy I wouldn't need to do mental translations as much. Then I asked for the time at a bus stop and got the answer in Broad Scots that, if I didn't see her watch, would have made no sense to me.

I got in an RV wreck just outside Louisiana in Texas.

Lot of good ol' boys roll up with hands on guns "where you coming from?"

Literally had a cop "where you from?"

"Oh I'm coming from deep Trump country in North Carolina."

"Okay you'll be safe. "

Boston and New Orleans actually have really similar accents, due to both having lots of Irish immigrants around the same time.

I have lived in the west my whole life(WA,CA,UT). Once i get east of the Mississippi, every accent sounds like a performance.

No lie, I grew up in a NYC suburb, currently work with a Louisiana good old boy. He sounds just like Gambit in Deadpool.

"Hey man, can we get some of duh all for duh plaus, weez runnin' low." What? "Duh all, it dat heavy. Need it for duh plaus." ...Can you text that to me?

*Hands me an empty bottle of Pennzoil and points to a snowplow.* Ohhhh. Great guy, just a heavy accent barrier.

Buddy of mine is from the deep bayou parts of LA and I regularly remind him G is a letter, *use it* ffs. And yeah 'bro just text me that' has saved us so many awkward conversations.

I barely eat out or get take away any more, everything in TO seems so expensive and crap nowadays to me. I’m old and grumpy. At least the local Indian is still really good.

I'm not sure whether the food changed, or I got old, but many things are not as delicious as they once were.
