Talking Philly, DelCo & Dialects Over Drinks | Twist Happy Hour Ep.13
Manage episode 505704175 series 3666642
This week on Twist Happy Hour, we’re mixing up cocktails and culture with a colorful science experiment and a deep dive into language quirks. From the magic of a butterfly pea gin drink that changes color with citrus 🌺🍸 to the ever-entertaining nuances of Philadelphia accents and slang, it’s a happy hour filled with laughter, stories, and regional pride.
We wind through Philly’s unique dialects (wooder, syrup vs. sur-up), why everything in Philly gets shortened (Delco, Monco, Conchee), and how language evolves from Philly rowhomes to Southern porches. Along the way, we share personal stories of how our accents shift with family, cocktails, and time spent back home.
Pour yourself something colorful (bonus points if it changes color!) and join us as cocktails meet culture — and lingo becomes the star of happy hour.
