Brian Michael Manzella was born at Hotel Dieu (Hospital) in New Orleans, Louisiana in December 11, 1961.
It's called a Y'at accent.
as in "Wher ya AT, dawlin?"
In the movies, stupid Hollywood type portray the New Orleans accent as a cross between New Iberia Cajun and Atlanta drawl---an accent that doesn't exist unless you were born in Lafayette and moved to Augusta when you were 10.

How 'bout dat! I was born at Touro Infirmary, New Orleans, La, December 11, 1951. My mother worked at Hotel Dieu for several years as a secretary to an anesthesiologist.
When I was a freshman at Loyola U in 69-70, the out of town folks called us "Yat's"
I've been on a crusade for years telling people that associating New Orleans with Cajun is bogus. I didn't meet any real cajuns until I played high school sports and had to travel to Chavin, Houma, and Breaux Bridge! A New Orleans accent is more like someone from Brooklyn.

I wonder how much of a dent "Never Slice Again" would make on the National Handicap if the whole country could see it.......
