Brooklynese

Oh, and apparently you don’t have to worry about Brooklynites thinking you’re making fun of them when you speak Brooklynese.  I keep speaking in a clipped manner, adding the occasional ‘Fuhgedaboudit’, and expecting to get called on it.  Nope.  The conversation continues on, apparently with no one the wiser. 

I don’t think being 6′ 3″ and 250 pounds as anything to do with it…..

    We’re pretty laid back here in Brooklyn with all sorts of people from all sorts of places. The fact that you can speak clear English is enough. :-)
