Now on my eighth bottle of Keo.

Now drinking a cup of coffee. Impressed now?

Just had a pleasant glass of Beaujolais Village Neuveau.

I dunno! But it's bloody good!

To Kafenes' health!

What are you REALLY on?

Keep your socks on old man - it was one tiny vodka and coke! See - nothing sinister!

I was speaking American, my second language.

I believe Gregory was speaking Bostonian...

Kwafee is Long Islandese, definitely not Bostonian.

I was once asked if I would like a cup of "kauwfi" in Massachusetts somewhere. Never been to Long Island.

They've got a great accent in and around Boston though, I can't get enough of those movies in which it is depicted...'Mystic River', 'The Departed', 'Thirteen Days' (badly in the Kennedy brothers).

Perhaps the person who asked was a Long Islander living in Massachusetts. Bostonians would pronounce it "cahfee. We're lazy elocutionsists: "chowdah" instead of "chowder," "theya" instead of "there;" "foah" instead of "four." If you like the accent be sure to see The Fighter starring Micky Rourke, the actual fighter from Lowell, Massachusetts.

Thanks for the movie recommendation!

The pronunciation I heard wasn't like 'cahfee'; as you say the offerer might not have been from there. Perhaps it doesn't matter that much, but it wasn't in Boston, rather several hours away in the MA countryside. I was stopped on a back road by a state trooper and was even more impressed by his uniform and intimidating demeanor than I was by his accent.

This is bringing back some happy memories from Turners Falls, trips over the line to Brattleboro, Vermont so the <21s from Mass could get a drink. More Amaretta Sour than coffee as I remember. And oh, the grass...

But now it's a glass of Slovenian Laski Rizling then the rest of the bottle.

I am musing about partaking in a coffee (with added Bailey's of course! )
