Kevin Bacon made a movie right in my neighborhood, 16th n Snyder right in front of my house. The movie, “The woodsman” I’ll never forget it. He had a tent set up. It was awesome!
Also to my earlier point why the South Jersey and actual 'Philadelphia' are so similar in dialect is due to the fact that plain and simple a lot of people who grew up in Philly during the 60's 70's moved out of the city to start families for better school and such, and either moved to South Jersey or Philly Suburbs in Montco/Delco/Bucks.

Yup. I realized this is a big reason I love Bruce Willis so much. South Jersey accent. I'm from Delco. He was one of the first people I saw on TV who sounded like me.
The only time I ever heard an authentic Philly accent was a small scene in the first Rocky movie (not Rocky). He walked a little girl home and as he left she said "See you later creepo", and the way she pronounced the o -- eo -- short e -- was spot on. Clearly no Philly dialect coaches in Hollywood, she was probably really from Kensington. And yes the cheesesteak hoagie is a thing (or at least it was a thing).
I find producers and directors use NYC accent as the stand in for Philly and Baltimore. To the uninitiated, NYC can sound like Philly and Balto, but there are distinct differences in each dialect.

One of the weirdest regional things in the US is how people talk about soft drinks. Where I grew up (IN) everyone called every drink a coke. If you were in a restaurant and asked for a coke, they would then ask you what kind you wanted. Not as in "diet coke, or cherry coke" but as in "do you want a regular coke, a sprite, a root beer, a dr. pepper, etc). I was staying with a friend in Michigan one time, and everything was a pop, "what kind of pop do you want?". Now I live in a big city out on the west coast and (I think) everything is referred to as "soda". It's kind of weird out here, though, since there are a lot of transplants so you might hear a bit of everything depending on where you go.
Of course we say 'cheesesteak hoagie' - thats a thing. Its not a regular cheesesteak, its one with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.... like a hoagie. And yeah they're really good.
But - we definitely DON'T say 'wiz wit'. Only the tourist places ssy that. And most of us would never have 'wiz' on a cheesesteak anyway .... we have Provolone.
There is a county just south west of Philadelphia called Delaware County. The DelCo accent is a Philly accent times 10. Check out videos by Aunt Mary Pat for examples:-).
since i was born and raised in philly, i never hear the accent really because it is natural to me. It is how I talk. The only word I can definitively hear the accent is with the word water
the wife and I met and live out west. While visiting DelCo where I grew up once at the Hoagie shop gettin' a steak (cheese steak) listenin' to the guys behind the counter, she assed me "What does boreass mean" ? That's exclusive DelCo / Philly talk.
It’s funny that these Covid era interviews have no laughtrack or audience so Conan and his guest have these awkward laughing moments to fill the space.
Is it just me? Or does anybody else from PA hear Kevin Bacon's Montco accent _all_ the time? I remember my parents watching "Footloose" for the first time on HBO or whatever and Dad quipped... _"Chicago? My ass. That boy's from Conshohocken."_ Sometimes I watch the video of John Cappelletti's Heisman speech just to listen to his thick Delco accent. And call me crazy, but Toni Collette sounded more Lehigh Valley than Philly in _Sixth Sense._
The best way to sum up a philly accent is to take a Baltimore accent and make it have a baby with an Amish or PA Dutch person, that's where the sing songyness comes from. Also Kevin has a hella WHITE PHILLY accent.
Gail Radcliffe that was a Baltimore accent or some conglomeration of something else. I’ve watched it, I enjoyed her performance, I love Kathy Bates. But that wasn’t Philly.
@@stephenmartin308 I know she's from UD. She trained herself how to speak without the accent so she could be an actress, but now her Delco accent sounds fake. Aunt Mary Pat on UA-cam sounds legit. Kevin Bacon sounds legit. Wayne the Cannabis Chef on UA-cam has that he lives in Florida as part of his channel, as soon as I heard him talk, I knew he was not from Florida and was from this area. I think maybe she tried so hard to get rid of it, now she has to exaggerate, she does not sound very natural.

That my friends is a spot on Kensington maybe south Philly or Northeast Philly accent. But as someone who's been born and raised in Philly....what irritates me is that they act nationally like South Philly IS Philly. Black Philadelphians who are a huge majority of the city do NOT have that accent like Kevin. Meek Mill or Eve yes...destinctly Philly but not saying"youse guys" and stuff. AND for facts.. black Philadelphia s are the only ones saying or using JAWN. That's isn't Philly slang its specifically black Philly slang. There's a short linguistics lesson for you. Your welcome lol.
@@Dave-om4kv white people have also been appropriating blaccents and dances for social media since ...🤷. So I said nothing but facts. JAWN is a black Philly colloquialism. Using JAWN as an occasional quirky urban gentrified addition by choice doesn't mean that word comes from or is part of white peoples natural language patterns in Philly. No more than black Philadelphians saying "youse guys". We know it's a Philly thing...but it's not OUR thing....and that's ok to acknowledge!
I think jawn crossed over to the general Philly accent from Black neighborhoods in North and West Philly around 2010 or so. You'll rarely hear it out of older middle aged Port Richmond, Kensington, South Philly or Northeast people, but it's now common among younger(born in 80s or later) people of all backgrounds.
@@hello_04 it has more to do with how integrated ppl became during certain decades. Black Philly most certainly have w different accent than white Philly. Even we don't know everything we say that is distinct to us until someone points it out of town. Some Older black Philly talk a little more closer to white Philly. No bap I heard an elderly black woman say Iggles before and she really old. My dad is in his 70s he still says fatigue like fatigg. We most certainly only sound like Philly and water isn't the only word we say different in black Philly.
I'm from the suburbs around Philly but it wasn't until I waitressed in my early 20s that I worked with someone who had THE thickest Philly accent I'd ever heard. It was so thick I thought she was doing it on purpose like a cartoon character. She was a terrific person & had waitressed for years & had even waitressed at a restaurant that the Eagles team would frequent (she always said "I can tell you exactly which players - the Michael Vick & Donovan McNabb years- I'd waitress for & which ones I'd pray would get traded based on how they responded to service personnel. Some I loved. Others... Was happy to see em leave."
My gf has a Philly accent. "Bar" sounds like "baaawr" and Home sounds like "hewm." I've heard Kevin say these words in his movies and he sounds the same. So unique

From my experience in both areas - Caucasians sound similar. African Americans - noticably different.
@@4ba88f5 that’s interesting
@@4ba88f5 wow I never even thought about that. Good point
I have been a fan of Kevin Bacon since Animal House!
There is a county just south west of Philadelphia called Delaware County. The DelCo accent is a Philly accent times 10. Check out videos by Aunt Mary Pat for examples:-).
Delco in the house 😂
@@mysharona6754 Have you seen those Aunt Mary Pat videos? She works at the Ackamee in Folsom:-D. He's got that accent down like nobody else:-D.
since i was born and raised in philly, i never hear the accent really because it is natural to me. It is how I talk. The only word I can definitively hear the accent is with the word water
the wife and I met and live out west. While visiting DelCo where I grew up once at the Hoagie shop gettin' a steak (cheese steak) listenin' to the guys behind the counter, she assed me "What does boreass mean" ? That's exclusive DelCo / Philly talk.
Use it in a sentence. Quit boreassin' me.
Interpretation : Don't be a pain in the ass. or Quit bothering (bother'n) me.
i saw philly accent and had to click
Same and I'm not even from Philadelphia.
@@LadyEowyn I am!
It’s funny that these Covid era interviews have no laughtrack or audience so Conan and his guest have these awkward laughing moments to fill the space.
Is it just me? Or does anybody else from PA hear Kevin Bacon's Montco accent _all_ the time? I remember my parents watching "Footloose" for the first time on HBO or whatever and Dad quipped... _"Chicago? My ass. That boy's from Conshohocken."_ Sometimes I watch the video of John Cappelletti's Heisman speech just to listen to his thick Delco accent.
And call me crazy, but Toni Collette sounded more Lehigh Valley than Philly in _Sixth Sense._
"Gowin WahWah to git mea Hohgee anna dyin' Colt."
The best way to sum up a philly accent is to take a Baltimore accent and make it have a baby with an Amish or PA Dutch person, that's where the sing songyness comes from. Also Kevin has a hella WHITE PHILLY accent.
You really got it. Linguists say the Philly accent is a southern accent different from Maryland but similar. We talk faster and compress our vowels.
This guy is the best
The dahntahn Pittsburgh accent is similar. Growing up in central PA, you get a mashup of both with Pennsylvania Dutch vocabulary thrown in.
I’m from philly and lived in Pittsburgh for a while. Our accents are completely different. You all sound like the mid west to me
nothing makes me happier to hear about how celebrities or rich people clean their own toilets ))
Hoagie from WaWa Hon!
Kevin Bacon's accent is more of a Mainline (suburban) accent than straight up Philly accent.
Kevin Bacon and Tina Fey are the only 2 I’ve heard do a FR FR Philly accent.
Cathy Bates did something that sounded pretty Philly in the carny season of American Horror Story.
Gail Radcliffe that was a Baltimore accent or some conglomeration of something else. I’ve watched it, I enjoyed her performance, I love Kathy Bates. But that wasn’t Philly.
Kevin sounded legit, Tina sounded over dramatized... like she was trying to talk like she was from Delco instead of just speaking from the heart
@@mysharona6754 She is from Delco. Upper Darby. She has a Delco(ew) accent.
@@stephenmartin308 I know she's from UD. She trained herself how to speak without the accent so she could be an actress, but now her Delco accent sounds fake. Aunt Mary Pat on UA-cam sounds legit. Kevin Bacon sounds legit. Wayne the Cannabis Chef on UA-cam has that he lives in Florida as part of his channel, as soon as I heard him talk, I knew he was not from Florida and was from this area. I think maybe she tried so hard to get rid of it, now she has to exaggerate, she does not sound very natural.
So they’re talking about the Southern version of “resting bitch face” for men? Love this interview !
we in Canada, Toronto, call it subway face! To create space 😎
Moved from Philly years ago but STILL miss it! I have a WAWA sticker on my car!
Philly pride baby!! I call it hoagie consciousness where ever there is a WaWa! they have them in Florida now cuz Philly people only go down the shore and Disney. At least a lot of the South Philly folks I know! WaWa forevahhhh
That my friends is a spot on Kensington maybe south Philly or Northeast Philly accent. But as someone who's been born and raised in Philly....what irritates me is that they act nationally like South Philly IS Philly. Black Philadelphians who are a huge majority of the city do NOT have that accent like Kevin. Meek Mill or Eve yes...destinctly Philly but not saying"youse guys" and stuff. AND for facts.. black Philadelphia s are the only ones saying or using JAWN. That's isn't Philly slang its specifically black Philly slang. There's a short linguistics lesson for you. Your welcome lol.
White people have been using jawn since like 2011
@@Dave-om4kv white people have also been appropriating blaccents and dances for social media since ...🤷. So I said nothing but facts. JAWN is a black Philly colloquialism. Using JAWN as an occasional quirky urban gentrified addition by choice doesn't mean that word comes from or is part of white peoples natural language patterns in Philly. No more than black Philadelphians saying "youse guys". We know it's a Philly thing...but it's not OUR thing....and that's ok to acknowledge!
Whites use jawn all the time, the whole northeast does
I think jawn crossed over to the general Philly accent from Black neighborhoods in North and West Philly around 2010 or so. You'll rarely hear it out of older middle aged Port Richmond, Kensington, South Philly or Northeast people, but it's now common among younger(born in 80s or later) people of all backgrounds.
@@hello_04 it has more to do with how integrated ppl became during certain decades. Black Philly most certainly have w different accent than white Philly. Even we don't know everything we say that is distinct to us until someone points it out of town. Some Older black Philly talk a little more closer to white Philly. No bap I heard an elderly black woman say Iggles before and she really old. My dad is in his 70s he still says fatigue like fatigg. We most certainly only sound like Philly and water isn't the only word we say different in black Philly.
My boyfriend is from Delco and I love his accent. Its just...different haha
3:23 heheheheheheh why is that? Why is Philly so dangerous?
Because it just is
Ug,fml with the cleaning of the toilet ,the removal of crumbs from my sight. it never ends.
Conan looks like borrowed his mom's sunglasses
You 2 have matching faces!!
I'm from the suburbs around Philly but it wasn't until I waitressed in my early 20s that I worked with someone who had THE thickest Philly accent I'd ever heard. It was so thick I thought she was doing it on purpose like a cartoon character. She was a terrific person & had waitressed for years & had even waitressed at a restaurant that the Eagles team would frequent (she always said "I can tell you exactly which players - the Michael Vick & Donovan McNabb years- I'd waitress for & which ones I'd pray would get traded based on how they responded to service personnel. Some I loved. Others... Was happy to see em leave."
I have a very strong Philly Accent. I cringe when I hear myself on audio.
Salt,Pepper,& Ketchup!!!!
I have been a fan of Conan since he went to Greenland
He should have said 'yeah' like a South Philly boy - yeehhh
Hey Conan how's Jordan doing
I bet he doesen't mind self-isolation
They both have guitars in the background. Cool!
My gf has a Philly accent. "Bar" sounds like "baaawr" and Home sounds like "hewm." I've heard Kevin say these words in his movies and he sounds the same. So unique
"Hoagie" = "haowgie" Coke = "Kewk"
😭😭we need movies on philly
That was dope, luv Kevin in that investigation csi show
And a real philly cheesesteak dose not have PEPPERS on it!!!!
Wooder, doorter, throw in a jawn or 2 and you got it. I'm from Philly and I approve this message.
boy yull some crabs🤣
I am a native Lancasterian, but years ago I worked as the receptionist in Lancaster for the non food division of Acme Markets and the salesmen who came in all thought that I had transferred to Lancaster from 15th and Arch. LOL,
Kevin you forgot to say JAWN man!!!!!
