Exactly. My nanna was born in Brooklyn in 1920 and she sounded pretty much like Edith Bunker. Family holidays were fairly raucous and between her, my dad, and my uncles, it probably sounded much like the video. It has actually taken me a few decades to figure out that not everyone talks in "weave" format. I never even knew it had a name until this interview. I was born on the west coast and did not have the Brooklyn accent, but I can tell you that to this day I have to keep my "weave" in check... not always successfully.

I dated a guy once, a Maine Yankee, he used to tell me to use turn signals when I talked.
