Zimmies is interchangeable with ice tea in PA lol. Sometimes I have to force myself to say ice tea when I’m not in PA just so folks know what I’m talking about.
@@ComedyByConroy, I'm personally from Philly, but spent the past 20 years in the wasteland that is Atlanta, GA, and I already like it better than either place. Covid has made my first year pretty barren, socially, and I need to remedy that before I go bonkers from isolation, but people are very friendly, I'm up for lots of hiking and trail running, and I love all the old architecture of Scranton. Also Sheetz has the best car wash. Very important after 20 years in a city that doesn't have road salt. Thanks for your response!
Head o'er to The Valley, pitch some'in from the faucet, go down to the cellah and get some sodas. Or do youse want some'in else? Or if you don't want the stereotype Scranton, we always have Wilkes- Barry. Wilkes Bar? No no, it's Wilkes Barre. Right up there with Nannycoke, Pitstin, Wyomin, and Hazltin.
You’re accent sounds like mine, which I was told once “sounds like I’m from nowhere”. Not trolling you here, cuz I’m from Tamaqua but I don’t have a particularly thick Coal Region accent. Not like “Ay butt, youse goin dawn to da block party? Have a coupla two tree beers? Howz about some kilbossie and bleenies?” Though if I sounded that way, the person who said I was from nowhere wouldn’t know where I was from. Brooklyn? Ireland?
I literally laughed out loud when I read "sounds like I'm from nowhere" because I'm pretty sure I've gotten that exact comment before hahaha. We are right in-between the Jersey, New York, and Pittsburg accents so I guess ours got neutralized hahah.
@Reynz J there’s a good chance that it is, since there’s a lot of people in that area with some Welsh ancestry (myself, in a very small part, included). The next town over, Lansford, had until recently a Welsh Methodist church. And the local accent has a sing-song quality that could be Welsh or Irish in origin. Complete speculation on my part, given what little I know of the Welsh and Irish languages.
I'll be so honest, there were a lot of other towns I could've used but I straight up didn't know how to pronounce them myself! lol. I don't know if I'd know how to pronounce Hockendauqua.
Exploring old coal fields and quarries was a childhood pastime. You’re not from PA endless you went exploring in the woods and found some random train track lol
Northern American dialect is a derivative of Scott Irish with secondary British English of course when the Brits left America British language became more diluted which is now what would be the American accent ..if the British had stayed.. we all sound British still ..the last remaining immigrants were from Italy 4 million which settled in the northeastern region that's why we get our nasally sound which came out of New York and spread to the other North England regions people from the South speak a more diluted form of English.. third to fourth generation a much more strayed- away from their parent language which also had a scot- Irish influence mixed with Native American and African which one of I do not know created the drawl or perhaps the drawl was just again the diluted transformation of the British language itself a deformed affect of what was its original form from the uk
You're northeastern Pennsylvania accents way different than mine like I've been telling other people not all of us have the same accent a lot of us in northeastern PA have very very distinctive unique country accents yours is a little country but not all there but yeah most people don't realize it's not all of us have the same accidents in Pennsylvania even if we grew up in the same area Pennsylvania because where I grew up in northeastern Pennsylvania we all had a distinctive unique country accent when I'm also guessing it depends on your ancestors and where you were raised if you were born and actually lived in one of the big cities you'll probably end up not having the accent I was born in Pennsylvania but I didn't really grow up there I grew up in the middle of nowhere in the country around a bunch of country people and my mom had a country accent my dad was Mohawk Indian but I still ended up with a very distinctive northeastern Pennsylvania country accent
Yeah I grew up in Schuylkill county and it’s so wierd. Even at family get togethers some of my aunts sound normal, some sound midwestern, some have a Philly accent and others sound like a full on NEPA accent. It’s really bizarre.

You said Aquashicola wrong. Also, you missed wawa. the closest Sheetz to us in in Bethlehem. So is it pronounced Beth lee hem or Bethlum. I have heard it both ways.
@@ComedyByConroy it replaces the question " isn't it? " when you're reply is obvious. For example. That grass is green isn't it. That grass is green ain't it. That grass is green hyena? It's like three whole steps away from proper English. Rumored origin is Nanticoke, Hanover, Ashley areas.
Lol I don’t know too much about your neck of the woods. But PA is so neat because each region has its own thing. I’ve seen videos about the western side of PA and even I’m like “whoa, same state but very different culture/isms”
1. You don’t really have a NEPA accent. 2. Most of NEPA is not small towns. About half of it is part of the single, continuous city of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, none of which is rural or suburban and at half a million residents is far from small. The other 700,000 people in NEPA are all 30 miles or less from the state’s second largest population center. Yes, that’s right. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has almost twice the population of Pittsburgh, though in 6 times the landmass, it is not as dense.
