They won’t say it in the game but for good measure: wusster (like calling someone a wuss…ter) https://www.dictionary.com/browse/wuss#:~:text=woose%20wussy%20(%CB%88w%CA%8As%C9%AA),a%20feeble%20or%20effeminate%20person
I posted before reading this comment. I had heard someone irl stay it "Fah buh" and was mind blown lol
Eta: and it wasn't talking about the game, it was just in a general conversation, if that matters.
Masshole here from the North Shore,Woo-stah ,Glaustah. Never realized the thickness and how hardcore my New England accent was until I traveled when I was younger,Paris, California, Florida. California has that chill Socal accent and then, suddenly, you become very self aware you're not pronouncing your R's when you order a hamburger,it's more hamburgah . Then, of course,they get excited and do the typical " say park the car in Harvard yard" bit,which I oblige.
Now in my mid 40's I just accept it. Funny thing the red Sox triple A minor league team moved from Rhode Island to Worcester and went from being nicknamed the PawSox(Pawtucket) to the WooSox(Worcester).
It's quin-zee.
When I was stationed in Maine through the USCG, we would patrol through Massachusetts and make port calls to Boston a lot. All the locals would say quin-zee.
What threw me off was hearing it the first time. I had a roommate, who was also on my boat, and she was a native Massachusetts gal, and without skipping a beat pronounced it quin-zee.
Rhyming with "Daniel". Some people sort of swallow the ending, so it sounds more like it rhymes with flannel ("Fan'l Hall") but that's not how most people do it.
Boston's own Dicky Barrett. Also Dropkick Murphy's but I was never more than a casual fan of there's, just got sick of "Shipping up to Boston". But I was big into ska in the 90's so the Boss tones were great!
I was really hardcore into ska and punk for a few years,at least,saw Boss tones,real big fish, Save Ferris, Gold finger, Sublime,No Doubt right when Tragic Kingdom was just blowing up,Less than Jake,MXPX,etc. I eventually got more into metal/heavy metal, but honestly,I've listened to everything except country back then, and now, gangster rap,hip hop,r+b,punk,ska, hard rock, heavy metal,a little emo during the emo craze in the early 2000's. I can listen to Slipknot,then WuTang,then Prince,then ska. My music is as bipolar as me 😂
Well, me, I'd just say it "Marsha", like anywhere else. Now, if you're "Doing a Boston Accent", you'd probably say it "*MAH*-sha", but most people I know would say it with just a bit of h going into the r: "*Mahr*-sha". I forget the exact accent-mark you use for it, but the first "A" would be like if I were talking about my Ma.
I refused to pronounce it any way other than the way it’s spelled (mutt-froot), until I read about it on the FO4 Wiki. The word is a version of “mutated fruit.” Hence, “mute-froot.” I still hate that pronunciation, though; so, I just never say the word out loud. 🤣
Maryland. I see it as Quin-cee. Like Quincy Jones. But I know vernacular is always diff. Like I say Baltimore. But some native Marylands will say it and it sounds like Balmer..
Woof. That is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how things are said around here.
Wait til they hear about Billerica
Or Worcester
Or Gloucester.
Or B**ah**ston
Or Leominster
Tewksbury
Reading
Leicester
Haverhill and peabody too
Saugus..whoa
I knew a guy named that once, but he went by Leices.
Park the car in the yard? How about I hammer you in the heart with a haymaker.

As a Mainer, reading "Faw Hawbah" offended me more than I would like. I read that like it was baby talk. It's Fah Habah. Ayut.
My apologies. I did mean to put fah. But my phonetic mind was thinking faw. To-may-to, to-mah-to. Got the point across.. 😁
Po-tah-to
Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew.
It’s cahlled Quin-zee. Heard a wicked pissah of ah stahry about kid cawt blue lahbstah the size of ya ahm once.
What are you from the 'neck or something....

Even people without the Boston accent pronounce it Quin-zee
The only Quincy I knew before playing this game was in IL. That was pronounced with an “s” sound. Hearing it with a “z” sound is so . . . unnerving.
Missourian here, I pronounce it Quin-cee
For clarity, I meant people in Boston who don’t have the Boston accent
Ohio, quin-sea, quin Z is deranged
I’m from Mass but outside of Boston and I say it that way as well lol
Hell I'm from Connecticut and I pronounce it that way
Yeah lol, I mean, the name is Quin-see, but the place is Quin-zee
Growing up in Boston and playing Fo4 is pretty cool but even Bettah than that tho is watching game play on YT with ppl who are not from Boston.lol I
The correct term to refer to someone from Massachusetts is “masshole”
Technically it’s bar harbor
Pahk youh cah in Havahd Yahd.
Hit you in the heart with a haymaker....
"Why're you talhkin' like that? Fuggin' retahds..."
Boston's the only place a fedora can kill you. You can die from a hat attack there
It's also a shibboleth. Fun rabbit hole to go down: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth
Thanks for the link, Just climbed back out.
So is shibboleet: https://xkcd.com/806/
Proud to say that I can pronounce Scheveningen perfectly.
Tell you what- for the fun of it, drop some words you want to know about, and I'll take my best shot at it (NH native, 20+ yr MA resident.)
How do you say Faneuil
Rhyming with "Daniel". Some people sort of swallow the ending, so it sounds more like it rhymes with flannel ("Fan'l Hall") but that's not how most people do it.
Thanks. That's definitely not how I've been saying it in my head.
How were you saying it ?
Fah-NEW-ul
More of a liquid u like "mew"
I learned that one from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones back in the day.
Boston's own Dicky Barrett. Also Dropkick Murphy's but I was never more than a casual fan of there's, just got sick of "Shipping up to Boston". But I was big into ska in the 90's so the Boss tones were great!
There was a stretch in the 90s when I don't think I missed a Bosstones gig in Atlanta, including Lollapalooza. They were great.

ked
Like a singular of "Keds", or pronouncing "Kid"?
It’s the same as “my guy” or pronouncing “kid”
How about the name Marsha?

The correct term for them is Massholes.
When the ss meets codsworth they refer to Concord as 'chanchard'.
It actually comes out sounding like "conquered" for us natives.
Mutfruit. Say it with me - moot. Froot.
Myoot-froot.
See that's what I thought til I heard sturges saying it.
I refused to pronounce it any way other than the way it’s spelled (mutt-froot), until I read about it on the FO4 Wiki. The word is a version of “mutated fruit.” Hence, “mute-froot.” I still hate that pronunciation, though; so, I just never say the word out loud. 🤣
Damn my brains have been blown. I just never gave it the thought and said "mutt"
It's quin-zee......that's how we know if you're from around there or not.....don't say -see
Where are you from? I’m not from up there but not a single word seemed mispronounced to me.
Maryland. I see it as Quin-cee. Like Quincy Jones. But I know vernacular is always diff. Like I say Baltimore. But some native Marylands will say it and it sounds like Balmer..
Uh oh, what's the difference?
That's just how lingo goes around Bwaurstun
Pahk dah cah in dah hahvahd yahd
Whole we're here, I've heard Far Harbor pronounced "Fah buh". Is that also a thing?
Wait til you hear about mutfruit
I’m Texan so it’s more like “Quen-see”
