Seems to me I remember an article about the speech patterns of my 
friends in Ballmer, MD that came out some years ago.  My two 
favorite Baltimore-isms were:

	par amour -	something you cut your lawn with

	hard street -	received pronunciation of Howard street

I strove long and hard to remove the vestiges of my Maryland accent, losing
my ethnicity in the process.
