Toird and toirdy-toird. ( I associated "tird & tirdy tird" as an Irish accent)

Sounds like my Mom and Dad. I am so glad I somehow avoided picking up a New York accent (which is hard having grown up in Queens and on Long Island on the Queens line).

Forget 3rd & 33rd ask him to say coffee, gas and milk, even better ask him to say leg.


On a side note "across" for MEL-SYD is better than an SFO-LHR flight when the captain says "on our short hop over to London." I have never viewed SFO-LHR as a short hop. I view my PVD-IAD and PVD-BWI flights as a short hop.
