For comparison, I've never lived in Nevada, and yet. bsky.app/profile/did:...

you can take the boy out of something but you can’t take that something out of the boy

Wow. I’ve got 35 years in California and still talk like a Vermonter.

While I, a south-east Australian, have an accent apparently closest to New Yorker!

I have a professional accent because my Midwestern o e is hard to understand, but as I get older I'm slipping back because I don't care as much. Now of you'll excuse me, I have to go worsh some clothes.

Unsurprisingly I'm still mostly Michigan. (Apparently "Devil's Night" was a big tell, haha.)

wow!

I considered putting y'all in as these days that's what I say when I'm thinking about it but "you guys" felt like the truer answer, alas.

I know! I lived in Illinois, Alabama, Connecticut and Oregon and I'll use the local word whatever it is but in the privacy of my head those will always be freeways.

Y'all wasn't enough to drag me south, apparently my hostility to calling shopping carts a buggy betrays me. 😂

People can't pin down my accent because it's a combo of my parents, my mom was from Boston and my dad was from southern Utah. So I say a lot of words like "Chowdah" but then I also say things like "Y'all".

it's a hero

oh, and the weird new jersey only apparently "Mischief Night"

Thirty years in the Bay Area and you can’t take the South outta the boy

I got Seattle 26 years later lol

me too! 25 years in the PNW and it still even nailed Dallas. And I thought I could pass...

incredible 😂

There are dozens of us

Apparently I talk like someone from Maine, which is odd because I've never been there and live on the opposite side of the country.
