Here “bus” is pronounced like “buzz” and I didn’t realise it was weird until I went down to Devon and it was a dead giveaway that I’m a Brummie lol

    Interesting! I think central, north, and south Jersey all have some distinctions in accent. Plus I think a lot of people have a pretty stereotyped idea of what New Jerseyans are “supposed” to sound like haha

      Oh yes, people absolutely have an idea of what we’re suppose to sound like!

      Once I start cursing like a sailor they go “oh okay yeah you’re from NJ” lmfao. I don’t curse nearly as much in text.
