Boston accents are iconic in film and television. It is the local accent of Eastern New England, specifically to the city of Boston and its suburbs. However, Boston slang words and accents are also used throughout all of the states of New England.

Actors like Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg made the accent famous in several of their films. Movies like The Departed, Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Good Will Hunting, Mystic River and Spotlight have made Boston a desired city to tell stories in.

Bostonian's take pride in being from Boston, and we express it through their thick accents and unusual slang words. I hope you enjoy this video and have some fun trying some of our slang words out! :)

I was born and raised 12 miles north of Boston. I moved away 20 years ago because I couldn't deal with the winters but I visit every year. After 5 minutes my accent comes back and I feel like me again. Loved this! Love hearing the accent. I miss the people but not the winters!

As a new Hampshirite I'm enjoying seeing what's just you guys, what's us too, and what we use alternately with the normal word

I am a native Bostonian, but my parents moved the family to California when I was six. So, I grew up hearing both of my parents thick Boston accents. Here are a few more Bostonisms that I remember:
tonic = soda
frapp = milk shake
dinner = lunch
pocketbook = woman's purse
parlor = living room
aunt is pronounced "awwnt" in Boston, not "ant"
and...my parents pronounced California as "Ca-li-FAWN-ya".

As someone who lives in Massachusetts very close to Boston, all of these are very true! I about DIED LAUGHING about the Nor'Easter section cause its spot on! And ESPECIALLY the Pike! Omg, the city employees are pretending to lay cement for 8 days straight/the tolls were classic!

I was born and raised in massachusetts. I moved to California when I was 25. People looked at me like I was speaking a different language 🤣 my husband still makes fun of me for saying “carriage” and not “shopping cart” 🤣
