Passengers Prefer their Pilots to be New Yorkers

Probably than the air of scumbag superiority, that is.

Oh bless yower HAAAAAAAART, SHOOOGA!

I said proper Southern...not "redneck Southern" or "Hartsfield-Atlanta Int'l Southern". Throw a "y'all...yes sir/no sir (or ma'am)" with just a slight twang...that's how you do. (Either that or you play your guitar on the MTV)

I'm from Seattle and was questionably raised; you'll find me throwing y'all in (my Midwestern mom) and yes sir as a habit.

Dammit, you beat me to it! One of the best SNL sketches in recent years.

As a Californian, that skit hits like a baseball bat!

I don't think so either. But the words we use is what gives it away.

"So then I went 'What?' and they were all like 'Whoah!' but the 118 was slammed so I took the 210"

*Yes, I know 210 isn't an alternate for the 118

There's life east of the 405?

There life east of the 405?

I don't know bro. I was 210 to the 5 to the 99 for most of my life, then 101 to the 880 to the 580 for a few years. Or the San Mateo or Bay. Sometimes the Dumbarton if I was near Santa Clara.

It's no match to The Church Lady, but the fact the actors are barely able to keep themselves from laughing makes it that much more funny.

It's "SUTH-wren." And you better "'PREE-she-ate it."

'Yankee' is not the suffix to the word 'Damn.'

This from a formah cah-pet baggah & native Red Sox fan who made the mistake of living in Mississippi for a while.

I suppose I have a slight Philadelphia accent, but Ive probably lost some of it living in NM these past 8 years. As far as New Yorkers go.....trustworthy? Heh.

It's also "Murican" never "American."

 

[DubyaDawg]

I never thought I really had much of an accent until I met a group of people from New York who all claimed I had a significant southern accent... But being from Oklahoma I refuse to say I have a "Texas" accent.

I can tell.

~Fox. Southern. A bit disappointed in this thread.
(ps. It's the suffix to 'god damn', and here's a hint -- It's not directed at -everybody- from the north...)

It's not "Murican", it's "American" with an accent. The 'a' is very soft, but it's there. I hear it, dammit.

Where's Ebonics on the list? This article is racist.

My parents are born and raised New Yorkers and my friends growing up were all rednecks. I guess I am bi-accented. It does work amazingly well to be more southern and talk slower up north when folks talk fast. "Y'all want us to do what now"...

To the pax, I have no idea what they think, nor can I really manage their expectations. Point A to point B safely, as quick as possible, and as cheap as possible (no control on that one) is all I knew they wanted.
