A few years ago I was ordering drinks at a bar in Amsterdam. Some UK dude tapped me on the shoulder and said "You're from New York City, I can tell by your accent!"

I hit him with "Accent? I don't have an accent."

He then went into much detail about how I absolutely have an accent and told me how much he loved the GOAT NYC.

No This actually happened and it was actually a pretty cool convo.

Yeah, we're famously rhotic. I heard that it's from Mexican influence but not sure if it's true

It's certain words Jersey folks say that give it away. Especially been that pronounce Newark as "Nork"

Like “joysey”?
