I live down is southwest Florida and I think the accent here is Chicago/Detriot/Midwestern! It feels like Michigan South down here. No kidding...I think its due to the fact that so many midwesterners live here. I am from upstate NY and it sounds similiar, but I can tell a Chicago/Detriot accent. I don't know what a real Florida accent is because I've never met anyone from here, as far as I know.
I met a girl in college from Connecticut and the "f" word was part of her normal language, hahahahaha...she was a nice girl, but I guess she just curses like a sailor. I don't know if that's a Connecticut thing or just her.
I've lived in CT for nearly my whole life.
Trust me when I say it is most definitely a CT thing. Even the classy folks use the 'f' word way too often. It's mostly just accepted here, I'm not sure why. Any of you know how "Celia" from Weeds talks? Yep- that's CT vocabulary (minus the sexual innuendos).

LOL! It's funny, a friend of mine who's a native South Floridian told me that wherever I-95 goes in Florida, you'll find Northeasterners and wherever I-75 goes in Florida, you'll find Midwesterners. It's amazing how simple the migratory paths of Snowbirds are!
A true native New Orleans accent blows me away...
and the way they talk...reading the newspaper from down there...how often in 2007 do you hear or read the phrase 'well heeled"?
