The way you folks saw words like phone and home. I realized I couldn’t exactly figure out how to spell it, but I’d committed. And I suppose I should say I’m talking about deep south, not Toms River and whatnot (although I have some cousins from Manchester where some have the accent and some don’t).
Hoagie, for example, is Hō-Gee up north, but more like Hoo-Gee down south. If you can’t hear it, perhaps you are it!
I’m in South Jersey and what the fuck is hoom. Or phoon. What boonies are you talking to???
