Thread Name: BS: The Maine Accent
Subject: RE: BS: The Maine Accent
I've heard a lot of "Maine lingo" spoken by Gordon and others. I don't think it's the accent so much as the turn of phrase that comes out of their mouths. I was helping Gordon load out after an evening at the Side Door Coffeehouse. He turned to me and said, "That kind of evening will give a fellow a goofy grin for a week."

You don't hear that kind of thing while just walking around. Kendall has a whole mess of things like that. They would sound good in almost any accent but there is an outlook that can only come from the coast of Maine. Ya gotta love it.
