e/Philadelphia slang

Information
has gloss	eng: The Philadelphia dialect is the dialect of English spoken in Philadelphia; and extending into Philadelphias suburbs in the Delaware Valley and southern New Jersey. It is one of the best-studied dialects of American English since Philadelphias University of Pennsylvania is the home institution of William Labov, one of the most productive American sociolinguists. The Philadelphia dialect shares some unusual features with the New York dialect and Southern American English, although it is a distinct dialect region. The Philadelphia dialect is, however, in most respects similar to the dialects of Reading, Pennsylvania, Wilmington, Delaware, and Baltimore, together with which it constitutes what Labov describes as the "Mid-Atlantic Dialect".
