New England accents are the very definition of snobbish liberalism.

They can go to hell.

Ar uncles didn't marry insects.

America was begun by English speaking people that took a bahth about once a week n' gave birth to many of the founding ideas and energies.

A LOT of 'em weh(r) frum Bawstin.

“New England accents are the very definition of snobbish liberalism.”

And you hear it all to damn often in the south.

Boston Brahman - a/k/a - John Kerry. So ugly hitting the ear. I don’t mind the affected Mid-Atlantic accent (Wm. Buckley, actress Holland Taylor), because I love the history of the Main Line.

Strangely enough, "Boston" accents are going the way of the dodo.

I'm a lifelong Merrimack Valley resident, and kids growing up these days no longer speak like I do. We have way too many blow-ins to sustain our beautiful, natural way of speaking the English language.

They weren't always. But the New England accent has changed for the worse over the years.

That hasn’t been the case for 60 years.

The known Boston accent now is quintessentially working class.
