me too a new york one

no, but i have a new yawk one doe!!

i have a Queens accent...my DH has a New Yawk accent.

But the worst is the Joizey accent I hear every day on the train awful! LOL

NY? Yes. LI? No.

In all of my 34 and a half years and after being raised on LI, I have yet to hear someone say 'Long Island' with a drawl like that. It usually comes from people who aren't from LI who want to make fun of us. Now Jersey is another story.

I have to disagree with you there -- how she spelled it out it is how I always hear it (and say it!!)

My mother gets on me for my pronunciation, especially how I say 'picture' -- I say 'pitcher'. Yep, I'm 34 and Mommy still corrects me!!

Yea...I have to say I do...so i have been TOLD!
I was in Vegas and all they did was make fun of the LI accent!

no.
sometimes I have more of a Queens one when I get mad... but usually I don't really have one. Comes from having a mom with a Pittsburgh accent and a dad with no accent. (and maybe all the country music i listen to)

LI? nope

But I have a definite Bronx-y/Yonkers accent.. (or YANKAS as we like to say )

Or maybe I should say mine is more like an Italian/borough accent, being as though my parents are Bronx born and raised..

'Ay, oh ... badda bing.. ' very Sopranos-ish (sorry for the stereotype! I'm Italian, its ok for us to stereotype our own! LOL... and honestly we don't use THOSE phrases anyhow )

When I'm at work, I make it a point to watch how I speak, I do so more carefully so I don't have the obvious accent.. though when I used to travel a lot for work, they still picked up on it and I was always made fun of...

AND when I'm pi$$ed off or mad, the accent comes out in FULL FORCE Or if I'm just generally around my family, we all rub off on one another

DH makes fun of me He grew up in California and Michigan, so he has no NY accent at all... though I say he has some weird mid-western, westcoast ways of saying things myself

I have no discernable accent. People think I'm southern which is bizarre, I once got British, but no one ever pegs me as Long Island and only New York if they listen closely and pay attention to how quickly I speak.

I have no idea why....ooh but I'm all new Yawk when I'm pissed!

I don't know if I have a LI accent, but I definitely have a NY one. Although, sometimes I catch myself saying fingas instead of fingers
