Heh, I am no fan of Seth Meyers, but this is spot on:

LINK: Trailer for the movie "Boston Accent" (not a real movie)

Dialogue: BOSTON RESIDENT 1: I could meet you in an owah in Woostah.

BOSTON RESIDENT 2: How about Mehfud?

BOSTON RESIDENT 1: How about Doahchestah?

BOSTON RESIDENT 2: How about Glosstah?

BOSTON RESIDENT 1: How about Tontoun?

BOSTON RESIDENT 2: Ah. I got a cousin Ash from Tontoun.

BOSTON RESIDENT 1: Wicked. Wicked. So, do you wanna meet thayah?

BOSTON RESIDENT 2: Nah. Nah. How about Waymuth?

BOSTON RESIDENT 1: Nah. How about Reveeuh?

BOSTON RESIDENT 2: How about Summaville?

BOSTON RESIDENT 1: Nah. How about Mahbullhead?

BOSTON RESIDENT 2: How about Ahlinton?

BOSTON RESIDENT 1: What about Brockton?

BOSTON RESIDENT 2: How about Swampscut?

BOSTON RESIDENT 1: Ahlraht...why don't we meet in Braintree?

NARRATOR: That conversation goes on for ten minutes.

"...but this is spot on:

Welllll...not quite. I was raised in Massachusetts...60 years. There are no 'O' or 'U' or 'R' sounds in that vernacular.

Example; "I could meet you in an owah in Woostah."...Woostah is correctly pronounced "Wistah"

Mehfud, Swampscut and Milford are properly pronounced "Medfid, Swampscit and Milfid.

A great skit by some who have roots there. But in print the transliteration needs more accuracy.

So...flame away all you peckaheds from da Chelsee-Reveeyah Bowlin' League.
