Out sounds like owt, boat is bowt, house is howse...you get the idea.

I’ve been accused of being from Canada, Ohio, you name it.
I even had one fella swear I was Cajun!

In my years of driving a truck I only had one person guess right. He lived in northern Wisconsin but had relatives in southern Va so he knew the accent.

I know, because I do that too. I somehow acquired it growing up in Arlington which isn’t exactly Tidewater. Didn’t know I did that until someone in California asked if I was Canadian.
