To further confuse the matter, I always thought that "fish and chips", as in the very popular dish served in England, was fried fish and French fries.

I'm Australian and the fanny thing always cracks me up. On a related note, hearing north americans say 'erbs is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

She also drops her "R" if a word ends in it. Example: Alligator. USA Pronunciation: Alli-gade-errr South African Pronunciation: Alli-gate-ah The problem this causes, is when she pronounces some town in South Africa and I automatically add an R to the end and then can't find it on a map. Couple of years ago, we were headed to a resort town - and she told me it was called "Nice-nah". So, I'm thinking - okay the actual name of this town is Nizner. Looked everywhere, couldn't find this damn place. Yeah... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knysna

Then again, chips=crisps, crisps=Merican chips. Therefore, fish and chips should mean fish and Merican chips, not fries. WTF, England? |

Also, Bostonians, like Nooyawkas "New Yorkers" often leave out consonants in their rush to get words out, in particular, d's and t's at the end of words. So "so don't I" is more properly pronounced "So doan I," real-estate brokers babble on about houses with "plenny a chahm" and we get such phrases as onna-conna. Off topic sorry: my family speaks only Greek @ home but all have NY/New England english accents, visiting Florida we see and hear people just like us with our weird speech St. Augustine, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale If your wondering, people from Boston don't like actors from Boston speaking in a Boston Accent "Departed" "Black Mass" and "The Town" ears still bleeding |
