So today I was in line behind this guy I’d never seen around on campus before, and I wasn’t eavesdropping or anything but I was right next to him and his conversation was very loud, and I swear, this kid sounded like fricking Ralph Macchio and my first impression would have been that he was an out-of-stater, definitely East Coast. But no, his conversation with the guy in front of him shot down every possible theory I could have formed about why, in small town Illinois, this guy sounds like he was born in the heart of New York.
I shit you not, he said explicitly that he was a local, has lived in this town his whole life, just like his parents, and he all but ended with “badda-bing, badda-boom.”

Given this information I can think of absolutely no explanation as to why he sounds like the damn Karate Kid. I thought someone was pulling my leg; I think even the guy he was talking to was confused. XD Dude, what is your accent?!
