    New York - Tri-State Area
    The tri-state area is the only place in the country where McDonald's hamburgers don't come with mustard.

    and

    Don't ask for a "pop" or a "frap";nobody will know what you're talking about.

    wellll
    Just moved to Rochester NY and everyone I meet here asks 'WHY'?? I started asking them why they are asking me WHY I moved here and some say, the winters are horrible, lots of snow and cold cold cold and some say that Rochester has the highest real estate tax in the country, this I found to be true.

    So here I am in October and waiting for the snow I guess and also waiting for my pension to kick in the help with the taxes. May have to go back to work, not sure yet.


    Don't think that Rochester, NY is a place most people retire to, usually the people here retire down south. So I guess I have to be different, cold weather can preserve this old broad, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!

    We pahk the cah.. LOL...
    We pahk the cah.. LOL... Just couldn't resist. My daughters' friends from college were from CA and they used to laugh at me everytime I said there was no place to pahk the cah in Boston where she went to school.

    Some other things we pronounce.....
    Worchester is Wuh-stah
    Quincy is Quinzy
    any word that ends in er (biker) is bika and vise versa applies to
    any word ending in a (data) is dater
    Taylor is tayla
    The town of Carver is pronounced ,,Cah-vah

    That was fun. Anyone else from MA want to add a few?
