ClearWooder Philles Powder Blue Shirt

ClearWooder funny Philly Slang Tshirt! Philadelphia boasts one of the more unusual regional accents in the U.S. Due to the distinct way vowels are pronounced, water becomes wooder in the mouths of native speakers. The vowel in the first syllable sounds like put instead of law as other Americans might pronounce it. It’s one of the most famous examples of the Philly accent, but it’s in danger of going extinct. Though the unique vowel system is still used by older residents, it’s not common among local Millennials. So whether a Philadelphian refers to their city’s famous flavored Italian ice as wooder ice or water ice may depend on their age.
