I am chuckling to myself :-) When my husband was in the Navy, we had to stay in Brooklyn for a month while waiting to have our car and possessions sent to Newfoundland. We had such a nice landlady but I only understood about 1/3 of what she was saying.... she REALLY had a Brooklyn accent. She probably couldn't understand me either :-)

given the way brooklanders generally feel about southerners, you're likely LUCKY that you couldn't understand 2/3 of her comments.

As Southerners know, God did not pass out high IQs geographically.
