what does this voice say before "man"? Girl I'm so happy that you finaly settle down ????? man?

Question

COASTBC · Accepted Answer

"Girl I'm so happy that you finally settled down and found you a man "

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes it is "you". That way of speech is unique to an area of the US. I honestly can't remember which region.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes I could tell she is African American. Mainly by the way she speaks and the tonal quality of her voice. That is not always the case. Where someone learned to speak determines their sound and way of speaking. The correct word for "you" in that sentence would be "yourself"

COASTBC · Answer

@massive The US has many accents. The video below covers all 50 states. Bear in mind that accents can differ within the same state. This is a good general overview none the less.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes they are clearer to a degree. I can tell someone is from the southern USA for example. I likely couldn't tell you exactly where. In the video the Boston accent was the most extreme to me. I didn't even understand the entire sentence. Rhode island has a very distinct accent which is easy to place. I disagree with the statement that Indiana has no accent. I watched a show following police officers there, just yesterday. To my ear they definitely do.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes you are correct a Massachusetts regional accent can be different than Boston. Boston itself has different accents as does New York. In Boston there is an accent referred to as southy or south Boston. It has a heavy Irish influence and is unique. I find the Rhode island accent very nasally. I have also noticed that is stronger in some parts of the state than others. Of course no one thinks they themselves have an accent only everyone else. 😂 In the video, If I had to judge my own accent. Washington state and Oregon were the closest to me, in my opinion. Those also happen to be some of the closest state's to me.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive You're correct I do tend to say bin when I mean been. Ironically I do get it right when I say something like coffee bean. Brooklyn New York had a heavy Italian influence and that affected the accent. The video below is an actor going to a professional language coach to learn a Boston accent.

https://youtu.be/qaZG2mqiQog

COASTBC · Answer

@massive No, bin is not official it's just common. I'm to familiar with the godfather movies. But Italian Mafia was an issues for a long time.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive In the case of the good the bad and the ugly. The director was Italian and I think that influenced the casting choices. They actually call that genre of Eastwood Western. A spaghetti Western.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive It was the director that caused the casting choices and hence accents. The reason those movies were called Spaghetti Westerns wasn't just the origin of the director, but the style of them. "a fistful of dollars" , "for a few dollars more." and "the good the bad and the ugly" They are Grittier, more violent and altogether a different style. If you watch "Hang em high" for example. It was one of Eastwoods darker Westerns prior to those. You will notice a very different feel between them. I have to say my favorite Eastwood Western has to be "The outlaw Josey Wales" That is the only one as grim as the spaghetti Westerns. In that same vein of movie. Robert Redford in "Jeremiah Johnson." enjoy.😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive ROFL. I saw an episode of the TV show "the big bang theory." They talk about Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark. They point out that if you remove Indiana Jones from the story entirely and just follow the Nazis looking for the ark. The story ends in the exactly the same way. So really Indiana Jones spent the whole movie getting beat up in every corner of the world, for no reason at all. 😂

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes, it's a sitcom. The main characters are all extremely intelligent or colloquially, nerd's. Physicisists, engineer's and so on. They are big fans of movie's and comic books and they are often discussed in the show. I don't know how well the humour translates, but I find it hilarious. It's worth looking for. 😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Sheldon has to be my favorite character. He is so smart but so socially so stupid. enjoy 😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive I was thinking about this some more. Canadian TV is a bit different than US. Two comedy series for example. Corner gas and letter Kenny. Corner gas is family friendly kind of humor. Letter Kenny is the furthest thing from family friendly and pushes the boundaries of good taste. The accents in corner gas are as typically English speaking Canadian, as it gets. Letter Kenny they are exaggerating a regional accent. Both are set in rural small towns in different province's. Also bear in mind that they play with Canadian stereotypes to some degree. Have fun. 😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive I think they exaggerate accent's on purpose. Most Canadian TV doesn't get noticed in the USA. If an American happens to watch one. They will know it's Canadian. They might give it a chance. Otherwise it's one of hundreds of options. Trailer park boys was the only show that got a following in the US. It's quite gritty and they have heavy east coast accents.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive There are often place names and cultural reference that tell an American it's a Canadian show fairly quickly. Plus Canadian TV would be a very small percentage of they get.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive East coast, Has an Irish influence in many cases. But it is closer to a standard Irish accent. In the case of the accent used in trailers park boys. It's both a regional and uneducated accent. You would be appalled at the bad grammar they use.  I'll go find some YouTube of east coast accent's. Canadian English is fairly uniform across the country, like corner gas. The east coast is the exception.

https://youtu.be/xvnDy7PXiTc

COASTBC · Answer

@massive My theory on the east coast accent is isolation. Many places there are small and somewhat remote. Unlike the Boston accent. It only changed due to a natural drift in speech over time. The Boston accent was surrounded by people with different accents and it became a hybrid. That's my theory in any case.😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive An interesting bit of Boston history. Back in the 1800's the bulk of the rich people were German. There was a party planned on board a ship. It was supposed to be a tour of the harbor and dinner. It capsized and most of the passengers drowned. The entire ruling class of a city, killed in one night. I wonder if we would think German when we think of Boston, had that not happened.🤔

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes the cajon people in Louisiana are of french origin. I'm not sure about Finnish in Michigan. The winter climate would be similar. As early pioneers,  they would have to skills to settle there. 😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive I was looking for that ship sinking in Boston. It's apparently very obscure. I saw it on a historical documentary. The link below was a major event in the cities history. 😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes, unfortunately both the US and Canada have a history of race segregation. In Canada it was mostly against first Nation's/natives. In pockets against others depending on where you were. Example Chinese were treated terribly in Vancouver as a matter of policy. The same was true with black people in Halifax and other parts. We have always had diversity. We are just now starting to see the value in it. Example. The building method used to build the forbidden city in China. I learned not to long ago just how incredibly good it is in an earthquake. The people here might have known it over 100 years ago, if they had simply sat down for tea with a Chinese Canadian. 😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Canada did not participate in slavery like America and other colonial Powers. When you watch old west movie's. Many mention fighting natives at some point. America, early on had a strategy of killing off the natives and fought wars to achieve that goal. Canada decided to assimilate the native people to western ideas. It sounds good on the surface, the reality was far different. It meant that native children for generations were removed, by force if necessary and placed in special schools. Whatever the misguided purpose was, those children were subjected to indescribable treatment, dare I even say horror's. The overall purpose was a government policy with the goal of erasing any trace of native culture. They did succeed in killing many native children through maltreatment and disease, but the goal was cultural genicide. They very nearly succeeded. At the same time children were in schools. Parents were being locked up for practicing traditional ceremonies and dances. It is a history long hidden and most Canadians are just now coming to terms with it.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive This was kept hidden from Canadians and continued in some forms up to the early 1990's. Once it became public knowledge, it took some time for people to accept. Who would want to believe such a thing? We are still trying to deal with emotionally as a nation. I for one love my country deeply. I can not find any pride what so ever in that history. The best I can do, is make sure it never happens again.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes that is the positive to come out of it. It will never happen again! In my opinion and only my opinion. "Modern society" is a falsehood. Yes we have far more advanced tools than ever before. The driving force behind tool development  has always been finding a better way kill each other. We have not evolved beyond  that at all. You need only turn on the news to see that truth. Like I said earlier in reference to Vancouver. A great deal can be achieved over a cup of tea, that's not terribly high tech at all. 😂

COASTBC · Answer

@massive It's a matter of priorities in my opinion. If you grew up in an apartment in a big city. Lumber jack and woodsmans skill are nowhere near useful to you. Computer skills, and so on are much more relevant. People in the past were not any smarter. They led different lives with different priorities. I see myself as caught between the two. If I had had the option. I would have started a homestead 20 years ago and would have never heard of the internet. I'd be worrying about coyotes getting my chickens and not my cellphone battery. 😂 
P.s. If you search the web for "coywolf" you will find information on a new, naturally occurring hybrid animal. I've seen both a coywolf and a coyote. Thankfully I've never seen a wolf. I likely wouldn't be here if I had.😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Coywolf I've seen are timid and solitary like a normal coyote. They will watch your camp from a distance, but won't approach, unless they feel you are gone and there is an easy meal. They are more curious than a coyote. A coyote runs away as soon as you see it. Coywolf will sit and watch you from a safe distance. I recently saw a show about Japan. Apparently rural towns are now mostly populated by the elderly and some are abandoned altogether. That screams opportunity to me. Organically farmed foods command a high price. A super efficient, high tech organic farm could make a lot of money. I also bet, you could get land for cheap. 🤔

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Oh raccoon and deer I have in abundance. I want to leave my door open in the summer. The trouble is the raccoons who come in and eat the cat food. Five at one time is most I've chased out of my house. I have to wear boots when I walk in my yard. There is so much deer crap, you can't avoid it. On average 5-6 in the early morning. The highest total at one time was 13. I found the antler just the other day. They fall off and regrow every year. I'm debating making this one into a slingshot. 😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive It was a whole family. I approached from one side of the door. Four ran outside when they saw me. One baby panicked and ran for the opposite corner of the room. I circled my way toward it, leaving the door as the most attractive option, out he went. He wanted to be with his family as much as I wanted him out. It's winter now, which means the bears are asleep. Spring and summer is when you see them. They are no harder to chase than raccoon's. Except a mother with cubs. They get a lot of respectful distance.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes, the mating season for deer is in the fall and early winter. The antler's fall off after mating season and start to grow again for next year. There is actually money to be made finding them. Knife makers like then for handle's and other crafts people use them as well. People want to know an animal was not killed to get the antler and will pay more for it. Of course the shape is always different and not all are suitable for a knife handle. The material is the same stuff as your fingernails. It is much thicker and harder. You treat it like a hardwood when shaping it. You have to go slow and avoid power tools. If you get it hot from friction, it smells like burnt hair. It takes forever to get rid of the smell.🤢

COASTBC · Answer

@massive People will go out foraging for mushrooms and other edibles or hiking, fishing and hunting. That's when antler's are most often found, but always in the fall/winter. So if there are a lot deer in your area. Your chances of finding them are better.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yup, I have a few lakes full of trout and within walking distance. A license is only $35 a year for a daily catch of one. You can find all sorts of things. Wild green onions and mint are pretty common. So you can go fishing for trout. Find onions to flavor it and the mint for tea to wash it down. If you find some mushrooms and or berries it gets better. Plus there is the odd game bird if you're equipped for that.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Trout are a related fish to Salmon. These particular fish are strictly a fresh water fish. Salmon are born and breed in fresh water. They spend their lives in the ocean. There is a fish locally called a steelhead. They are a hybrid trout salmon and live in both fresh and salt water. The lake trout I go after are called cut throats. They have a bright red line that runs down their chin and neck, hence cut throat. A big one is 2 pounds and would be one meal for two people. I've tried Westernized sushi. Phili rolls and California rolls. I haven't tried anything that would be considered traditional

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Steelhead are closer to salmon in flavour. Fresh water trout tastes quite different. You likely use either Coho or Chinook salmon in sushi. Those are consider the best for eating in a steak or fillet form, both flavour and texture. Pink, Chum and sockeye are the other Pacific varieties that spawn in local creeks and river's. Trout are much better eating when caught in cold water. I haven't found a satisfactory explanation, but they don't taste very good when caught in warm water. In Australia for example they call them mud fish. The water is always warm there and mud describes the taste. So when fishing in the summer months. Fishermen go down very deep. The water stays cold down deep and the fish stay tasty. In winter you can cast from shore and catch dinner pretty quickly. Here sushi is an occasion. You get friends together specifically to go for sushi. The choice of restaurants is very important. If someone hears something bad about a restaurant, they will not go there. Likewise a restaurant that is considered well run, is always busy.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Salmon from Chile, here and Japan would be the same kinds, Pacific species. Norway would be Atlantic Salmon. I'm not sure how different they are or how many types there are. Trout is not only affected by climate. It is also difficult to cook. The difference between over cooked and perfect can be seconds in the frying pan. Classically trained chef's pride themselves on their ability to prepare a trout dish well. Because of that, it is not as common on a restaurant menu.  A lot of fish in restaurants is battered and deep fried, British style. It's usually cod or a fish that tastes similar. There are a number of cod species here. Ling cod are the biggest and funnest to fish for. They can get very big and fight very hard. The last one I caught was hooked at 280 feet. So you can imagine I wound up a lot of line, getting it into the boat.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive No, we catch our own salmon. It is the same kind of salmon that is caught in Chile. Salmon are born in rivers up and down the west coast of North America. They spend the next 4 years all over the world. They then return to the exact same river, mate and die. So a medium size salmon you catch in Japan, was probably born here a year before. Yes cod is my favorite fish. Plus with ling cod you only need to catch one, a lot of meat.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive I'm like that in cities, I get lost easily. All the noise and traffic is overwhelming. I never seem to be able to get lost in the forest. That's mostly geography. From the beach it's not far, before you are going up a mountain. So downhill will always find you civilization. The sad part of a Salmons life is traveling clear across the world to have sex for the first and last time. Think about that in human terms. Imagine if humans died after sex. No one would survive puberty. 😂

COASTBC · Answer

@massive They dig a pit in the river bed and lay their eggs. The male does his part and they both die. The water level can drop while the eggs incubate. The new born fish end up trapped in pools. There are school field trips that go and rescue them. Kids are taught about Salmon ecology in school. This let's them see it first hand and actually make a difference. Ultimately it creates a life long respect for rivers and water ways. On average one in three hundred salmon reach adulthood. Of those only a fraction make it back to their home river. The government has built devices called fish ladders. It gives the fish an easier way to get up stream to their spawning grounds. They build them on sections of a river where low water levels would make it impossible for the fish.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Particularly in British Columbia, salmon is a big part of the culture. It was the primary food source for most of the native groups. Even today they have fishing rights that only apply to them. 300 to one is high, but without the modern world, it wouldn't be much better. There is a reason each female lays hundreds or thousands of eggs. Salmon simply are closer to the bottom of the food chain. Seals, whales, birds and other creatures will eat them at any size.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Pacific salmon will come from the west coast or other Pacific Ports, you mentioned Chile as an example. Salmon find slow currents in their spawning river to rest. They spend all their remaining energy trying to get upstream. While they rest they look for females and claim one. They swim beside her until mating. If you are near a spawning river. Simply making noise can cause the males to become protective of their female. They thrash around looking for a fight and often hurt themselves. So everyone is taught from early childhood. When you are near a spawning river, be quiet like a mouse. 😁

COASTBC · Answer

@massive The males chase and fight each other. Bear in mind that they can never stop moving. They are in a constant current. So they have to work just to stay in one spot. Fighting takes more energy still. They react to noises thinking it's either another male or a predator. The females are constantly pursed and harassed by the males. So they too are highly reactive to noise. Because they face all these challenges. Fishing in and around spawning rivers is strictly controlled. Salmon hatcheries catch them in the river and harvest the eggs and sperm. They incubate them and release them back into the river. The Capilano river Salmon hatchery in Vancouver is a fairly big one. You can find it and the suspension bridge online.

COASTBC · Answer

@massive Yes, it's very much part of the culture. Cedar smoked salmon or salmon jerky are as iconic here as maple syrup is in Quebec. The Capilano river is not very big, but it is the border between the municipalities of North and West Vancouver. They are on the North shore of the harbor, directly across from the downtown core. The river runs parallel to the Lions gate bridge. It is or was one the bigger suspension bridges in the world. It was actually built by the Guinness family. The same as Guinness brewing company in Ireland. They had property in West Vancouver and were tired of taking a boat into the city everyday. So they built the bridge.😂 It must be nice to have money. In today's dollars that would be hundreds of millions of dollars to build. There is a small mobile home community underneath the bridge on the North side. I had a newspaper delivery route there as a kid. The local native group has the exclusive right to fish the river during spawning. They also are not restricted as to what methods they use to catch them. When the river was low. The boys would move big rocks and make traps for the fish. They had a gaff or a long stick with a very big hook on the end. They would chase down and hook a fish. In one motion they would use the strick to toss it onto the shore. When the water was high. They uses casting Rod's with large weighted hooks. they would cast and then reel in quickly to keep the hook off the bottom. They would snap the pole back hard every so often as they reeled in the line. They would usually hook a fish in the body somewhere and pull it in.
