I can relate to the Boston thing. I worked at a job where the HR director was from Boston, and had a thing with the a sound, ie, "pahking lot" and "apahtment".
On another note, I am dating a woman from Kentucky. She swears up and down that she does not have a Southern accent, but it comes out in certain words, and to me it sound kinda sexy. Examples:
Footbawl, or any other type of bawl (ball)
Hot dawg
Daydee (read: Daddy)
Her favorite sentence: "Come own nowl" (read: come on now)
I dunno, I have a thing for Southern dialects.
More later
