<br> A week or so ago, there was a comment on "Brooklynese" pronuncations of
<br> 'third', 'join', etc.  The initial thread lay there lifeless, not even able
<br> to aspire to b---thongness. ...
<br>
<br>Ok - thread continues.  In my youth in Brooklyn, I definitely remember our
<br>Jr. High School principal making announcements to the "Boys and Goyls."  I
<br>have no memory of the Bunker "terlet," though.  (Winthrop Jr. High, 1956-58)
