It's a rural MD accent. It's like a combination of a southern twang, Pittsburgheze, a with a light touch of Philly/Jersey. |

Great video. Thank you for sharing. He sounds a little bit like he has an eastern shore accent (werter for water) but he's too far west for that. |
West Virginia |
It's a middle applachia accent and there seems to be some facial paralysis affecting his speech as well |
Listen to “million”
He replaces the double L with a Y |
He didn't seem to have an intrusive r. |
I agree We have lived in Maryland for over 25 years and there are quite a spectrum of accents here. However, that does sound like some rural Maryland people I have heard - I also thought they sounded like a combo of southern and Philly when I first heard them I love hearing strong accents and wish I had acquired more of a Maryland flavor when I talk. The human brain is amazing in the ways it shapes so many wildly different and nuanced expressions of our shared humanity. |
Yes! I heard the same thing. |
This video makes me sad - Frederick Co Farmer who knows/used Eddie's services for fertilizer and pasture liming He also had some health issues which affected his speech (stroke, I think). He retired and sold his business in 2021 to Helena Agri-services (Big Ag). We miss him and the way he treated his customers so much. It's not the same without him and his family running the place. Most of the sales staff left when he retired and sold, and we miss them just as much. ![]() We've since moved our business to another fertilizer company. |
Western MD (Garrett, Allegheny, and Washington counties) is technically part of Appalachia so naturally many people from that region have a more country accent. |
Personally I don’t even hear an accent- |
From MD. It sounds like a Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County accent. However, his speech sounds slowed so something may have happened. |
Of course he has an accent. Everyone on Earth has an accent. |
