On my other blog (Waveys Thoughts) I have a dictionary translating Cork into English. This is sort of a similar idea but with Californian and because I am trying to do shorter posts each will have one observation.
So, as has been mentioned before Micah is kind of my expert on all things American, and he is actually from California so a lot of this is what he says (sorry Micah, love you really, forgive me!).
First observation:
Californians says 'bro' like Cork people say 'like' or 'bai'.
"Oh yeah bro, I'm totally down to go there bro, it'll be so awesome bro." - Micah
"Ah yeah like, I'm up for going bai, it'll be great craic like." - Cork person (in case you don't get the distinction).
Please note, you have to pronounce this 'bro' like you are very stoned! Long and drawn out does it, even if you're saying it fast. It sounds more like 'Brah' when it's said.
