My wife is originally from Pittsburgh and she occasionally rolls back into the accent, especially when she's mad:

"Dampening" when talking about suspension.

So, you made your suspension more moist?

There is a thin line between a Brooklynese and New Orleans accent. I wonder if they both say Tourlet?

I don't know about Brooklyn, but I sure hear it said that way here in New Orleans, another one I used to hear a lot was a sink be called a zinc.

Nothing in the world wrong with regional differences in the American English dialect.

Things would really be boring if we all sounded like some mid-western news anchor.

Oh, and "new-cue-lar"? If someone with the credentials of Jimmy Carter can say it, that's fine by me.

I'm with Rocker on this!

As for pet peeves, can we stop with, so and so, "don't hold back, tell us what you really feel!" Good god, I have seen that phrase so many times that if they were dollar bills, I head to a strip joint! Pete gets it all the time on his threads!

Weather or news people (or anyone else for that matter) who refer to "7 AM in the MORNING" ; over use of the prefix "pre" , e.g. "pre-existing condition", referring to a particular railroad station in New York City as Grand Central Station, ( for those not familiar with NYC, it's Grand Central TERMINAL, Grand Central Station is the NYC Subway station a couple floors below).

Related, and I think the era of VCRs started it, 12:00 is not AM or PM, it's Noon or Midnight.

Damn funny and Oh so true down here in Texas as well, and even after living here for 18 years, I'm still not used to it! Then there is of course Veee - HICK - El and for some reason a town called Humble, that is pronounced Ummmble...

I lived in Humble a year one month.....

The fourth thing is is overplayed is the word "Boom", or the term "Boom, you're roasted" every time you get someone with a bad joke or line.
