NYC Lingo

I always get laughed at for saying warder and always ask if they ever seen early westerns where a guy is crawling in the desert as he says warder, warder, he doesn't say Water, water. Anyways dat's my story. Here in Oregon they ask how long I been out west and I tell them I am a native Oregonian born and raised in Nu Yawk City, that's impossible so I tell'm I'm a born again native :)
