Chicago Accent?

Well I am from Chicago and I was wondering if we have an accent? Because I think we sound pretty normal. People from Minnesota, Boston, most of the south all have accents but we seem to talk normally. Anyone out there not from Chicago agree with me, or do we sound weird?

Other people always sound weird.duxup

Man... just when I thought we sounded normal :?:cry:

My old roomie from southerin Illinois used to complain about the Chicago accent she was getting from living with me. I of course didn't know what she was talking about, but she insisted we talk differently.

This is kind of off, but I was in Chicago one time and I was at a little fast food place and ordered a Mountain Dew from the spicket and when I drank it, I thought it tasted kind of weird, like if the Mountain Dew in Chicago tasted different from the mountain dews elsewhere.

So, it's kind of like an accent, except it has to do with pop. Does anyone see the analogy?

I'm from Chicago and I have an accent, but how thick it is varies.

My wife was asked once about her accent because she said "pop" instead of "soda". Most people here in Arizona speak like we do, but there are some words that sound different.

I live in California now but I was born and raised in Boston. Chicago has an accent but it isn't as thick as mine :-)

Everyone has an accent dude......
