1. Yo! I tawk like dat!

Probably becawse I am from da same nabahhood.
You can really tell if someone has a REAL Brooklyn accent by the way they say toilet and oil. If they say tearlet and earl, they are DEFINITELY from Brooklyn. My grandparents on my mother's side said them that way, and they were born and raised in Brooklyn, as was I.

Keep on tawkin how evah yew want Bernie. It's part of your greatness!
