I got a text like that a few years ago, not nearly as graphic, it was something more like 'my husband is going to be out of town next week and I can't wait to see you.' There was more to it but that was the gist of it.

I worked for a company based in Danvers north of Boston for ten years. Spent a week or two up there every year with a guy from Beaumont TX with the heaviest east Texas drawl you ever heard. After one week of being at HQ every year all the admins would catch themselves saying "y'all" when they were talking to him, and they'd slap their hands over their mouths after they realized what they had done.

It was high-larious.

My wife does this all the time. It's actually quite funny. If she is around someone from the south...yep, deep southern drawl. British, yep, Irish...you get the idea.. The funniest is we have some friends that are mixed race and the wife (white) talks like a southern black woman. We are at our sons wrestling match with them and I swear within 20 min my wife is telling HER son, "Yo betta do good out tha on da mat or you momma gonna kick yo butt". I look at my wife and mouth the words "What Are You Doing ???" and she just looks at me with a horrified look on her face and mouthed back " I. DON'T. KNOW. " I almost died laughing.

And my wife is straight from New England....

Yes you did. ;)
The thing is, people from other parts of the country don't really pick up on bad imitations of local accents.

It takes a lot more than not pronouncing R's to imitate a Boston accent.

How good is Wahlberg's accent compared to the real thing?

On one of my annual business excursions to the North Shore of MA, I was imbibing pretty heavily in a local establishment trying to chat up one of the female patrons at the bar and must have been trying to talk like a local.

The lady bartender looked at me with this withering look and finally said, "STOP, JUST STOP."
Lol
