As a Bostonian, a lot of people make fun of me for, or are confused by, how I talk. Here are some funny and quirky things we say, explained by a true Bostonian.

Jennifer,
thanks for your video – now I’m prepared for any future trip to Boston. And it’s interesting because I come from a part in Germany where I’m dealing with exactly the same problems as you: confusion, fun, correction… I know that all! Good to see that I’m not alone.
Hi Jennifer –
I really enjoyed watching your video. I am from Boston as well and when I’m in Syracuse, I miss hearing the familiar Boston “lingo” that I here so often at home! I had to laugh when you talked about the sprinkles vs. jimmies comment!! No one else understands – us Bostonians clearly speak our own language!!
Great job!
As someone who sometimes gets weird looks for my Long Island (or “Lawng Guyland” as some people back home call it) accent, I love hearing about other linguistic quirks from other places! I really liked how you incorporated still photos into your video to illustrate how the different terms you mentioned are used. Great video!
This was a high-quality, humorous video. I have had the same experience; I am from Long Island, NY and people claim I say things weirdly and wrong. I wish I would have thought to do a video like yours!
This is a great and informative video on where you’re from and the confusions that come with a Boston accent. Being from Boston originally, this hits close to home, and I really enjoyed the visuals of your video. It was interesting and kept me engaged.
