I figured that was the case... not too many genuine New Yorkers down here. When the company I worked for a few years ago picked up a huge Hess account, we had to deal with them. "Culture shock" is an understatement.
My cousin and his girlfriend at the time, now his wife, they were traveling cross country, they both have heavy accents, her more then him, and they both talk loud, well he said she was a hit in Texas, people kept staring at her and listening when she spoke, 1 guy said to her that he always thought the accent on TV was fake and he couldn't believe people actually talk like that

. We talk fast and loud and we're very animated.
