LOL. Let me clarify. I meant everyone I've met in Montreal seems to be familiar with the term wicked pissah. As soon as they hear my Boston accent they say "Hey you're from Boston aren't you? Wicked pissah."

I didn't mean everyone in the world. Sorry. Poor communications skills

If you are from here then no I don't have an accent. If you are not from here then yes, I have been told I have a thick accent. I have spoken with many people who loved it and one person who continually corrected me and even told me she didn't know if she could date someone who talked like I do. LOL she was an English teacher go figure. Said she had dated someone from my general area and hated listening to them talk.

Now *that's* RP!

If you're a Wilde fan then this version is a must see.
