Baltimore Accent Mug
The Baltimore accent is a dialect that originated among the blue-collar workers of Baltimore City and is often referred to as "Baltimorese". Its most notable characteristic is the nasally stressed "O" vowel producing a sound close to "Eh-oo". People also tend to use the word "hon" a lot, although this is heard mostly only in the city. The accent sounds very similar to the Philadelphia accent, but with a dash of a southern to it. While it is heard most often and thickest in Baltimore City it is not limited to the city itself and has colored the speech of all the surrounding counties, varying in intensity and usage depending on how close or far from the city one is. If one is thirsty, they ask for a glass of "wooder". If they want to go to Ocean City they say they're "goeen downey owe shin." On the weekends one goes "say-leen" on the "chest-peak bay". "L"s are darkened or not pronounced unless at the beginning of the word. Unlike the south, the i's in words like "right", "might", "kite", etc. are shortened and sound much more northern. "Th's" get pronounced as "d's" or "t's". Unique to Philly and Baltimore, the accent in addition to the Philly accent is the only east coast accent to have developed with inclusion of the pronunciation of "r". Other local dialacts like charleston, new york, and boston do not pronounce their "r"s. Often Marylanders will try to say Maryland has no accent, but the Baltimore accent makes it impossible to prove this. For all they know, they may have a hint of the accent themselves and never know until they leave the state and come back.

I ordered 4 of your mugs -- and have received 3; hopefully, the 4th is on its way! So far, I've received "fame," "620," and "$" ... only needing "hulo." ...It might be a matter of me being patient, that the 4th mug is on its way. However, the 3 received SO far are all EXCEPTIONAL, in every way!!! Mark Moilanen

wow! this mug is so thoughtful to giving to my wife!
The description tells nothing but facts. 5 stars instant
Your description is right on, except in 1989 I named my daughter Kallen Mikel (www.kallenmikel.com/original-art). I thought I made up the name, but apparently, it originated as a boy's name in Greek and Hebrew. I first found this out in 2001 when I was traveling to Finland. In the 'tube food' section in a big Finnish supermarket there it was, a royal blue tube of salmon paste with a blonde-haired boy named Kallen! So now I have discovered that there are many Kallen's of both sexes. I want to buy her a cup, but it has 'him' on it. Is there any way you can make that a unisex description for both sexes? Just askin'. Being a Barbara (Barbs) myself ... a 'cake eater' from Edina, MN I had to ask ... haha ;-)
Thank you for the mug. It arrived fast and exceeded my expectations.
