I’ll take your word for it, Deuce. But it IS a Noo Yawk thing to replace er sounds with oi, and oi sounds with er. Hence “terlet,” or the intersection of 33rd St. and 3rd Ave.—”toidy-toid ‘n toid.”
That being said, New Yorkers don’t really talk like this much anymore.
Wonderfully heinously nasty.
isn’t ‘terlet’ more of a northeastern colloquialism? I know everyone loves to bag on the south, but c’mon get it right
We say ‘terlet’ plenty here in Texas

What? New Yorkers don’t really talk like Bugs Bunny!
Sheesh. That’s actually more of a New Joisey accent you got working there…
Mel Blanc himself said that Bugs Bunny’s voice was a combination of Bronx and Brooklyn accents.
Mel Blanc probably said lots of things… but he was still from San Francisco…
I’m from the Bronx with friends from Brooklyn.
And that accent is more New Jersey.
Love,
Blech
And I was born and raised in Brooklyn. Wanna fight about it?
