Eh! We don't say chooowdaaah in New York. I do admit my Queens accent is a little nasal. Our accent is more like WAWK (in lieu of WALK) and TAWK (in lieu TALK).
I agree...Went to law school with a really smart guy from SC but every single time he spoke he sounded like a dumb redneck no matter what came out. I felt sorry for him. Now ladies with a southern accent......oh yeah! Love the southern belle's.....
