Philly accent
Rocky's speaking style
The Philly accent is the distinctive speech pattern of Philadelphia and its surrounding region.
Characteristic features include pronouncing "water" as "wooder," "Eagles" with a long A, and dropping R sounds in certain positions.
The accent marks someone as authentically from the area: You can hear the Philly accent when she says "hoagie".
