Philadelphia English

I root for the iggles, phils, flyers, and sixers. I eat beggles with cream cheese, and in the summer I'll get some wooder ice. I go fishing in the crick. If I fall in I'll dry myself off with a tal, and maybe I'll hang it on the ratty-ator to dry afterwards. I'll warsh the mud off my boots at the spicket outside. On vacation I'll go down the shore. If I need cash I'll tap mac, perhaps so I can order a cheesesteak (wiz wit) or hoagie. Maybe I'll see if my friends want to join me, and I'll ask them "jeet? And they'll answer "no, jew?" And at the end of the night, after a few citywides, I'll tell them "I'll see youse guys later"

You can also replace most of those nouns with "jawn"

Grew up NEPA, went to school on the main line. Moved away almost 20 years ago, but this brings me back.

My sister went to school in NEPA, so I'll throw you a couple bones

Weather sure is nice today, heyna?

Wanna go grab a couple-two-tree beers?

Tangentially related, The Office fans jokingly asking if I'd ever been to "Scranton" and then being surprised to learn it was a real place.
