Idear.

[hbionic]

Mostly on television and sometimes on the street...I hear people talk and notice that they'll add 'er' to words such as idea and others that I can't think of right now.

Where does that dialect come from? Boston? New York? East Coast?

The more I hear it, the more I want to talk like that. If anyone is familiar to this, what other choice words can be converted into this pseudo-language?

It's not Boston.  For Boston, replace "ar" with "ah", like "Nomah", "pahk your cah in the pahking lot", etc.

Actually, my wife (from Maine) does use "idear."

[Susquehanna Birder]

It is a New England thing. An old friend of mine used to theorize that because New Englanders (specifically Bostonians) would drop the "r" sound in words like "car" ("cahhh"), there is an overabundance of Rs, and they end up spilling out at the end of other words, like "idear".

west PA uses "Warsh" a lot.

It's definitely a New England thing. And it's retarded.

It might have come from Britain.

Many of them pronounce Honda as "Honder".

[Diomedes]

Wherever it is from, it is not to be encouraged.

Some Brits say idear, but not me, although I do say Honder and Hoyder.

not sure about the "Idear" thing, but i get sick of hearing people pronounce Donovan's name "Dunavan".  That, and instead of saying the word huge, they say "youge".

[BigEd76]

The old guy with the moustache on that bike show says "idear"...

Some people around here call him "Dunnavin"...

And alot of people in Texas call Houston "Youston" and the suburb of Humble "Ummmble"

[Father Demon]

People out this way change the "or" sound in words to an "are" sound..

such as 44 is pronounced farty-far, the opposite of tall is pronounced "shart", ask the bartender to "par" them a beer, etc...

Oh yeah...  they also warsh their clothes and car, and sometimes go down to Warshington, Missouri for a vacation.
