I am from the Bronx.
No, I do not have an accent- as a matter of fact I defy you to do a Bronx accent that is not actually a Brooklyn accent.
I do not actually have a discernible accent until I get to know a person, and then I absolutely DEFY you to identify it as a New York one, lol.
And like Cream, I am not mean either! Sarcastic, yes. Just plain mean, no. New Yorkers can be some of the nicest and NOSIEST people in the world, we just know how to pretend we're not butting into your business, lol. And I'm not talking about htose New York transplants- grew up in Iowa or something and move to the city. They are not New Yorkers. You have to be born and raised here to count.
We also just like to argue! That I gotta go with, I LOVE debate.
