Ode to the Vermont wave

[sorcrow]

3. Two-finger wave here

Sometimes whole hand.

Brave Little State is a fun show/podcast. Be sure to listen to the one about the Vermont accent. A linguist has Vermonters read a short passage about a couple named Don and Dawn... They have a fairm with keows and a bairn etc.

I had an old neighbor, probably born before 1920 and raised in rural Vermont. He had a very pronounced accent. I think somebody from away might have needed subtitles on occasion to fully understand him. His favorite verbal intensifier was Christly, as in it's Christly hot today. Or who's that Christly old man?
