During Christmas dinner, comedian Phil Schwarzmann asked his family to demonstrate how specific words are spoken with a Baltimore accent. He presented each member with a flashcard and asked them to read the word aloud. Needless to say, residents of Baltimore have a very distinct manner of speaking.
