    Boston accents are iconic in film and television. It is the local accent of Eastern New England, specifically to the city of Boston and its suburbs. However, Boston slang words and accents are also used throughout all of the states of New England.
    Actors like Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg made the accent famous in several of their films. Movies like The Departed, Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Good Will Hunting, Mystic River and Spotlight have made Boston a desired city to tell stories in.
    Bostonian's take pride in being from Boston, and we express it through their thick accents and unusual slang words. I hope you enjoy this video and have some fun trying some of our slang words out! :)

      Slight correction- I would say that the first "D" can be soft- "Mef-fid". Of course, the fact that Powdah house Circle and Davis Sqayah have gone yupscale is criminal.

    fun fact about the green mosnter: the whole reason it was built was not to put seats up there, but to stop people from sitting on top of the car dealership and watching the game without a ticket. there used to be hill that was in play too. and yes, the ladder on the monster is in play.

      My wife is from Boston, I’m from Texass.. my first Fenway game was special.. first thing I noticed were all the women in attendance… then a fight broke out in front of us between 2 women.. as they were being escorted out, the whole section erupted into 🎼hey, hey, hey… goodbye!!🎼.. then there was a rain delay, and we were walking down the steps, and my son asked me about the rain delay rules, and I wasn’t sure…. So, a girl about 10 yo or so was walking in front of us, and she turned around and matter of factly explained the rules… it was a culture shock for sure.. my wife just simply said, ‘Welcome to Baahston’ .. thanks for these terms.. I already knew most of them…. Just like your muth-ah! 😂These are great… subbed.

    Friendly's only had Milk-shakes (which has 2 red scoops of ice cream) and they had Fribbles, which had 3 green scoops of ice milk). Friendly's never had Frappe's. I put in my time there. When your family finally had enough sober people to move out of Medford, they must have made it all the way to Saugus. Another beautiful town.
