Feature of the Week: "Ayuh!" (And other New England peculiarities of speech) In Season Recipe: Salmon Picatta Calendar Pick of the Week Sand Sculpting Competition (NH) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Worth Quoting "(Yankee humor) comes out of Yankee philosophy -- that of frugality and practicality. I think of it as regional and character-based, and often understated. Yankee qualities, being a little bit taciturn, crusty, rocky, lead to humorous situations." ~ Rebecca Rule, New England humorist More quotes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Have you ever noticed that no one ever uses the words "yes" or "no" in northern New England? If you ask a question, you'll get a question back or a comment. The most well-known example of this is the question: "Have you lived in (name of town) all your life?" Answer: "Not yet." Or: "Do you think it'll ever stop raining?" Answer: "Always has before" (pronounced "befowah"). Or: Do you know how to get to (name of town)?" Answer: "Ayuh." Speaking of this strange little New England word, "ayuh" has subtle meanings that outsiders can't even begin to fathom. This week New Hampshire native and linguist Mike Szelog tells you all about "ayuh" and "wicked" and the right way to say "Concord" (as in the capitol of NH). Read his story, and even listen to a little folktale told in an authentic northern New England accent, at: Ayuh, the Northern New England Accent in a Nutshell. ~ ~ ~ Giveaway of the Month...Did you Enter Yet?
