Also, the hard "th" sound like in "the" becomes "d", so "the" is "duh", and "there" is "dere".
So too here in Chicago, among certain groups who happen to be of particular politcal power. Thus the mayor of our city is oft referred to in the press as Hizzoner Da Mayor, and Mike Ditka, when coaching our football team Da Bears, was nicknamed Da Coach.

Anyone else have that problem? [thinking-this-highly-unlikely-e]Sorry, the flash blinded me, and I'm still trying to deal with the noise pollution caused by the clicking of the Geiger counter ...
