I homeschooled for 13 years. Any time I talked to myself it was a parent teacher conference. đŸ€“
 
Or your folks talked to themselves in the mirror.
“Wow you have like the smartest kid ever”
“ I know, right?”
 
Here in the south, we have all sorts of gravy, including (blech) chocolate gravy!
 
I had a Wawa Italian hoagie for lunch!

I once knew a girl from Pittsburgh that pronounced oil as “earl.”

That’s weird. I had a classmate who called it earl but she was from Texas.
 
There’s a YouTube channel that hits the Pgh dialect really well, called “Greg and Donny.” Some of their language is PG-13.

This one has some Pgh vs Philly it.
 
“Darnit, Sid and Geno can’t do everything! Shoot the puck!”
 
That’s pretty good. I’ve been told I have a Pittsburgh accent, the way I pronounce some words.
 
When my husband was doing his residency as a young doctor, he and the other residents were gathered around a patient’s bedside while the senior doctor talked to the patient.

"So Mr. Brown can you tell me where you are today, or as Dr. JoyfulandActive would say “where you at?”

New York Italians of a certain age too.
 
“Mama warshed our clothes on a warsh board every day.”
 
When I first started dating my wife, I wondered what kind of idiot wore heels to go hiking (at which point she tripped on a rattlesnake! đŸ˜±đŸ˜Č:roll_eyes:).

It turned out that the little town where she grew up had a bit of an accent, and “heel” was Jamulian for “hill” . . . (and they also had a borderline drawl; she picks one up in perhaps an hour, and it stays for days, every time she is exposed to one!)
