My wife, though, who grew up outside the Valley loves to give me shit for both things. Her favorite to poke fun of me for is my Yinzer habit of not using "to be" with verbs. "The car needs washed." "The flowers (more like 'flahers') need watered." Stuff like that.But imagine all of that with a bit of a southern drawl.

I've posted this before (or at least have seen it here and then posted it on facebook, idk), but a great dialect quiz

I am consistently DC/Baltimore with some Richmond, which makes sense since my family is either native to MD (from Ireland), transplants from rural NoVa (from England and Germany), or transplants from Delaware (from Italy).
