I spent 5 years in Tidewater, Virginia working out of the Federal Building in Norfolk. I was born and raised in the deep South but was amused by the way the natives talked.

They said hoose instead of house etc.

“They said hoose instead of house etc.”

I acquired a bit of that Tidewater peculiarity while growing up in northern Virginia when it still had Virginians living there. Tend to say “out” or “about” funny. “Are you Canadian?”
