So here's the deal - You're smart. 

But you have a tendency to over think, because your mind moves at a million miles a minute. 

You're sad, because you're not fooled by the world like everyone else.

Some people don't get you, because they just don't look at things like you do.

You think you're dumb, because you're smart enough to know you don't know everything.

You're problem is you're too smart.

And that's not a problem at all.

A handful of those terms seem to be universal with urban raised Italian Americans.

Make that Nawth.  There is definitely a "W" sound in the way we say it.

 

It ain't the dialects.  It's the language.  English is the strangest language on earth.  It has silly rules such as, I before e, except after c unless it sounds like A as in weigh and sleigh.  Then we have way pronounced the same as weigh, and slay which is pronounced exactly as sleigh.  Then you have siege and seize which have no A in their pronunciation.  Did I get the spelling correct?  I usually foul them up.

 

We have a member and mod on this form with the screen name of Ghoti.  Most pronounce it go tee, when actually he and those who know him pronounce it "fish"  Again it's done according to the rules of English which is worse than the tax structure.

 

The Gh is prounced with an F as in enough.  The O is pronounced as it is in women, and the last to, ti as in emotion.  You end up with "fish".  

 

So y'awls can stop it with this insulting us northerners, or is it we northerners, or can it be both?  Nah, it's us.  You can insult us, but you cannot insult we.
