Mayflower mouth
The apparent inability of some white Americans to pronounce non-Anglo-Saxon names correctly. In particular, the clearly deliberate mispronunciation or dispronunciation of such names by a member of the white elite as a way of implying social superiority and deprecating non-white origins. This form of speech suggests a link between the speaker and the original 102 Mayflower settlers, whose names are typical of common early 17th century English names. Another term for the same syndrome is 'Hamptons lockjaw'. The Hamptons in Long Island are a popular vacationing spot for the wealthy, with some of the highest real estate values in the USA. This term is likely to be a variant on 'Locust Valley lockjaw', or 'Larchmont lockjaw', which make similar geographical references. All are synonyms for the Mid-Atlantic Accent, a mixture of American and British speech habits which was deliberately adopted from the early 20th century by members of the social elite in certain of the original Northeastern colonies - for example, the Boston Brahmins - as a mark of difference and superiority. It was, and is considered unnatural by many because of its exaggerated articulation, involving much clenching of the jaw.

Cute, good quality, *****!
Exactly as expected!
My order was delivered very quickly and was high quality. Glad to add it to my mug shelf.
God is still alive. The existence of this mug shows there is still faith that god is dead and is listening to us. God Bless,
Gay Label Adore this. Ordered for my husband, with the second definition on the back, about the gay filmmaker. Makes a nice discussion starter.
Top notch shipping and exactly what I hoped!!
Best mug i have ever purchased! Subscribe
I love it, but of course the definition Ichose for “Unicorn” is too long and gets cut off after “someone is remarkably attractive.” Is there any way to purchase a second mug that has the rest of the quote on it? They’d make a great set as a present. Please let me know. David Tillinghast dtilling480@gmail.com
