All these cities are very similar culturally, and what make up the majority of the Mid-Atlantic Northeast.

Clearly no Philly dialect coaches in Hollywood, she was probably really from Kensington. And yes the cheesesteak hoagie is a thing (or at least it was a thing).

One of the weirdest regional things in the US is how people talk about soft drinks. Where I grew up (IN) everyone called every drink a coke. If you were in a restaurant and asked for a coke, they would then ask you what kind you wanted. Not as in "diet coke, or cherry coke" but as in "do you want a regular coke, a sprite, a root beer, a dr. pepper, etc). I was staying with a friend in Michigan one time, and everything was a pop, "what kind of pop do you want?". Now I live in a big city out on the west coast and (I think) everything is referred to as "soda". It's kind of weird out here, though, since there are a lot of transplants so you might hear a bit of everything depending on where you go.

Of course we say 'cheesesteak hoagie' - thats a thing. Its not a regular cheesesteak, its one with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.... like a hoagie. And yeah they're really good.

@cathyshaw-kalloo237 4 жыл бұрын

But - we definitely DON'T say 'wiz wit'. Only the tourist places ssy that. And most of us would never have 'wiz' on a cheesesteak anyway .... we have Provolone.

The best way to sum up a philly accent is to take a Baltimore accent and make it have a baby with an Amish or PA Dutch person, that's where the sing songyness comes from. Also Kevin has a hella WHITE PHILLY accent.

You really got it. Linguists say the Philly accent is a southern accent different from Maryland but similar. We talk faster and compress our vowels.

That my friends is a spot on Kensington maybe south Philly or Northeast Philly accent. But as someone who's been born and raised in Philly....what irritates me is that they act nationally like South Philly IS Philly. Black Philadelphians who are a huge majority of the city do NOT have that accent like Kevin. Meek Mill or Eve yes...destinctly Philly but not saying"youse guys" and stuff. AND for facts.. black Philadelphia s are the only ones saying or using JAWN. That's isn't Philly slang its specifically black Philly slang. There's a short linguistics lesson for you. Your welcome lol.

@@Dave-om4kv white people have also been appropriating blaccents and dances for social media since ...🤷. So I said nothing but facts. JAWN is a black Philly colloquialism. Using JAWN as an occasional quirky urban gentrified addition by choice doesn't mean that word comes from or is part of white peoples natural language patterns in Philly. No more than black Philadelphians saying "youse guys". We know it's a Philly thing...but it's not OUR thing....and that's ok to acknowledge!

I think jawn crossed over to the general Philly accent from Black neighborhoods in North and West Philly around 2010 or so. You'll rarely hear it out of older middle aged Port Richmond, Kensington, South Philly or Northeast people, but it's now common among younger(born in 80s or later) people of all backgrounds.

@@hello_04 it has more to do with how integrated ppl became during certain decades. Black Philly most certainly have w different accent than white Philly. Even we don't know everything we say that is distinct to us until someone points it out of town. Some Older black Philly talk a little more closer to white Philly. No bap I heard an elderly black woman say Iggles before and she really old. My dad is in his 70s he still says fatigue like fatigg. We most certainly only sound like Philly and water isn't the only word we say different in black Philly.

I'm from the suburbs around Philly but it wasn't until I waitressed in my early 20s that I worked with someone who had THE thickest Philly accent I'd ever heard. It was so thick I thought she was doing it on purpose like a cartoon character. She was a terrific person & had waitressed for years & had even waitressed at a restaurant that the Eagles team would frequent (she always said "I can tell you exactly which players - the Michael Vick & Donovan McNabb years- I'd waitress for & which ones I'd pray would get traded based on how they responded to service personnel. Some I loved. Others... Was happy to see em leave."
