The Food Network is doing a show about Garbage Plates tonight. It is a re-air but I missed it the first time around. I haven't had a garbage plate since I graduated college. The memories of going to Tahoes at 3 am or the much less crowded Henrietta Hots after a stop at the Kat never go away.

 

mmmmm Garbage Plates

I've see the show a few times. It's a good one!!!

 

If you've been away from WNY for a while, the accents of the speakers are a warming recollection of home. :D

What accents?...Oh... That is because you live in "Sin Sin Nat ta." I take it you get a strong hillbilly tone down there that becomes unbearable?

 

Don't shoot me, I am just the messenger!

 

:D;)

Not much of an accent here - the word "for" is pronunced like "four" instead of "fur", and we drink "water" as opposed to "waarrrr". :P

 

Now, when I lived in Pittsburgh (Picksberg), I noticed quite a local patois (pronounced "pat-toys" there).

 

Examples:

 

"Did yuns red up yer room" - translation: Did you clean up your room?

 

"Dawn, are those new tars on yer cor?" - translation: Don, are those new tires on your car?

 

And French took a real beating. Versailles is pronounced "Ver-Sales"; Lake Conneaut is called "Lake Connie-aht".

 

I was impressed that Duquesne was correctly voiced, though. It could have been "Dew-kwes-knee". :lol:

I thought "yuins" is also a Missouri (Missoura :D ) variation.

Could be. Both can be used with singular and plural intent.

 

I like variations of speech. I have never understood folks who wonder why they are disliked by Southerners, just because they travel there and then proceed to mock the local accents. :lol::P

There is definitely some kind of accent going on around Cincy. It was the first thing I noticed about my friends from the area when I came to school. It is kinda like a toned down southern/hillbillyish accent. Very hard to define it but it's pretty distinct.
