You have no idea what it's like to hear people talk like this all the time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newfoundland_English

"Other marked characteristics of Newfoundland English include the loss of dental fricatives (voiced and voiceless th sounds) in many varieties of the dialect (as in many other nonstandard varieties of English); they are usually replaced with the closest voiced or voiceless alveolar stop (t or d). The dialect also includes nonstandard or innovative features in verb conjugation. In many varieties, the third-person singular inflection is generalized to a present tense marker; for example, the verb "to like" is conjugated I likes, you likes, he/she/it likes, we likes, you likes, and they likes. (And in some communities on the island's northeast coast, you (singular), you (plural), and they become dee, ye, and dey, respectively.)"

Huh.. Must be pretty damn annoying.

Yes.

" "* Where ya to?: Where are you?
* Stay where you're to 'til I comes where you're at.: Wait there for me.
* Flat on the back for that!: An expression of approval, female speaker
* Get on the go: Let's go (also, a common euphemism for partying)"

o_o..

Gayest slang (...Can I even call that slang?) I've ever read.

"Were ya to?" If someone were to really say that to me I'd just give them a ":|" face.

Flat on the back for that!

Good god don't start saying that here. It's bad enough to listen to here. Not to mention when I'm at the Toronto Airport and they know I'm from Newfoundland they look at me like they're waiting to say "PARDON ME SIR I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS SPEAK ENGLISH." I know only a handful of people that don't talk like this.

"Also of note is the widespread use of the term b'y as a common form of address. It is shorthand for "boy", but is used variably to address members of either sex. Another common term of endearment is me ducky, used when addressing a female in an informal manner, and usually placed at the end of a sentence which is often a question (Example: How's she goin', me ducky?). Also pervasive as a sentence ending is right used in the same manner as the Canadian eh or the American huh or y'know. Even if the sentence would otherwise be a non-question, the pronunciation of right can sometimes make it seem like affirmation is being requested."
