Wicked good Bostonisms come and go. "Boston has many shibboleths, linguistic peculiarities that separate us from the rest of the English-speaking world. [...] The most telling, of course, is the Boston accent, the one with the 25-letter alphabet. But there's more to our shibboleths than how we say words; what we say is the other side of this peculiar thing called ‘Boston English.'"
