Accents

I have your classic Bostonian accent. Not the Kennedy accent (which is typically attributed to the more affluent of the Massachusetts region), but the Boston Hahbah accent.

I can repress it in most cases, but when I get angry or flustered, there it is, glaring you in the place, leaving you thinking "what the hell did she just say?"

My father has a thick French accent which some people can't identify or understand sometimes. I don't even hear it, but apparently some folks can't understand a word he says.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That might be a bit of the New York coming through, though.

I thought you guys were supposed to do things like pronounce "milk" as "melk" and change around some vowel sounds, no?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
