You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. (In what Mandy Patinkin thinks is a Spanish accent, but comes across to me as Italian) ---

One of my overused catch phrases is “I can see down yer shirt!” in a Joe Dirt voice. It’s appropriate for more situations than you might think. ---

“I went to Worcester to buy a toaster, you bastard!” And any phrase containing park, car, yard, party or mark must be said in a bad Boston accent (though I’m not sure if there is such a thing as a good Boston accent). ---
