Vowels? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Vowels (Kinda)
The Boston accent is famous for its love-hate relationship with the letter R. Here's the skinny:
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
- R Who? R at the end of a word? Fuggetaboutit! "Car" becomes "cah," "park" becomes "pahk," you get the idea.
- The Great R-Vowel Shuffle: But here's the twist! Sometimes, when that missing R bumps up against a vowel in the next word, it magically reappears! "Coffee ice cream" becomes "cawfee ice creamah." See the magic?
"Ah" vs. "Aw," The Battle of the A's
Boston A's are a whole different breed. Forget that fancy "ah" sound. Instead, channel your inner caveman and go for a more guttural "aw." "Cat" becomes "cawt," "bath" becomes "bawth," and "Harvard" (because, of course, you're going to Harvard) becomes "Hahvawd."
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.

- Wicked: This one's a multipurpose word. "Wicked awesome" (great), "wicked smaht" (super smart), "wicked pissa" (extremely annoying). You get the drift.
- Fahkin': Let's just say it adds emphasis. Use sparingly, unless you're channeling your inner angry cab driver.
- Package Store: Don't be fooled. This ain't no delivery service. It's where you get your "tonic" (soda) for that "frappe" (milkshake).
Remember: This is just a taste of the Boston typing experience. The real magic lies in the improvisation. Don't be afraid to get creative, shorten some words, and sprinkle in some emojis for good measure.
