Humerous attempts at representing dialects crop up all over the world.
Afferbeck
Lauder's "Let's Talk Strine" in the 60s was one of the most popular, but it
goes
back way beyond that. I recall an article in the "Leicester Mercury" in
about
'64, following a BBC programme supposedly set in Leicester, bemoaning
"Forriners,
triner tekkuzoff."

Tom and all, there's a site called whoohoo or something that has a dialect
translator... I'd bet that it's a pile of pucky though.

So, I'm not too sure about its origins. Just something you hear in
(Northern) New
England.

Mike, is that dialect as we hear it on the audio file still in use up there,
or have Boston and New Yaak crashed the paaty?
