I have a THICK (and by that I mean "wicked thick") New England/Boston accent. It's crazy...but because I'm an actress I can and do know how to drop it. I can also pick up/mimic accents (dialects) for stage purposes pretty well. (I make a MEAN swede! lol)
The only thing that annoys me is the phrase "Park the car in Harvard Yard." First of all, you can't park a car there. Second of all, when people say it to tease they say "Paaaaaak tha caaaaaa in Haaaaaavid Yaaaaaaad," when in all actuality, we say "Pahk the cah in Hahvid Yahd." That is... if we're not saying "Shut the f-up mother f-er. I care more about the price of butter in Russia than I do about where you park your car."
