I always thought you spoke only in Cockney rhyming slang, m8... ? I do use a lot of Cockney rhyming slang. Some Australians also use it so they often understand me and also have some of their own rhyming slang as well, m8. Well I'll be a monkey's uncle, I never knew that about Australian's ! You truly must be considered the cat's pajama's by the local Aussie's

Oh yeah When i was living in CA my wife and I went to a party and there was some professor there who said that he was an expert in regional dialects and he said to me "Don't tell me, I got it, you're from South Boston !" I laughed and said "How'd you guess ? " He replied that he picked up that Boston accent instantly and stood there beaming while people were congratulating him....I just smiled and said "that was good" . Later someone asked me something about Boston and I said "I'm not from Boston" and they mentioned the professor I responded "I'm from NYC, he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about ! " and we all laughed

Most people who've never been here think we sound like mob wannabe's and street thugs, but have no clue about what so many of us are really like... I think the guy in the video (link below) epitomizes the real character of a true blue 'New Yawka', especially at the end ! abcnews.go.com/US/video/tough-talking-york-city-landlord-love-neighbor-message-70086531

Think how safe Bruv keeps us on this board. Imagine what he could do for the UK! And the world! I can just imagine it now when talking to world leaders. "Hey, Xi Jinping. Call me, my friend. We have much to discuss". Or "The methods that Joe Biden and I teach".

I always think of three things whenever Boston is mentioned, baked beans, Prince Spaghetti Day, and this song !
