Yup and in the north they add an r to some words that end with an a like idea, they say idear.
It's weird that they take the r away from words that need it and put it on words that don't.

Oh I see you are in Ft Lauderdale. Good deal I was born and raised in Hollywood.
Ooops, gotta update that location... I'm in the Keys now 
I was in Fort Lauderdale for 10 years, though. It sure beats the hell out of living "up north"... Lived in Massachusetts for more than 30 years!

Ha that is cool. My dad was a transplant from Waukegan, IL. Moved to Broward in the 70s.
I thought "tooting" was the lil sound a Nova/miniNova tank makes when you screw it into the threads too far...
This confused me forever because I thought it was the drip tip whistling ... ROFLMAO

nah man. we dont say CAH for car. thats just those weird jersey and boston folks.
but even in boston and jersey, its weird, not everyone talks like that. just the annoying folks.
well, you can be annoying and still not talk like that. The Jersey Shore kids for instance..
But you can't NOT be annoying and talk like that.. lol it only bends one way.

Lol, really?? I can't imagine what 'here' sounds like as a three syllable word, especially since it's a ONE syllable word!
Is it something like 'vehicle' that is pronounced too weirdly for words - like a little singsong inflection, in some parts of the US. Not sure which parts though...
Not really. I'm originally from the northern Illinois and I only know one person who says it like that and she was a transplant from Pittsburgh.
Hmmm...All the guys I used to work with that were from New Joyzee, and they all talk that way. I guess it is somewhat geographical. Not everyone from the south sounds like they came from Jawga.
Jahwja!, What ya'll tahlkin bout, sweetie? We daunt tahwk lahk tha-ut...no ho-ow. I love Georgian accents...they all sound like sweet little old ladies...even the guys

Choot 'em! (reference/quote from Swamp People TV show...NOT an indication of what you should do!)
EDIT: The more I re-read this, the more I wish I hadn't put that quote in. It IS NOT my intention to suggest that cajuns should be shot! It is simply a quote from one of the characters on the TV show.
