Synopsis "How Ta Tawk New Yawk!"

How Ta Tawk New Yawk! is a lively, affectionate guide to the language, rhythm, and unforgettable character of classic New York City speech. Written by Donald Iarussi-"jus' another goy frum da Bronx"-this entertaining A-to-Z collection brings the sounds of the five boroughs to life, from the corner store and candy shop to the subway platform, Sunday dinner table, stoop, diner, and ballpark.Discover the meanings behind beloved New York expressions such as fuhgettaboutit, jeetyet, cawfee, sangwich, schlep, knish, the Bulls, the El, and youse guys. Each entry includes a clear definition, a sample sentence in authentic-style New Yawk talk, and short neighborhood scenes that capture the food, family, street games, transit, humor, and everyday spirit of the city.More than a slang dictionary, this book explores the history behind the famous "New Yawk" accent-its British roots, immigrant influences, changing sounds, and lasting place in New York identity. It also approaches expressions from Italian, Yiddish, and other community traditions with context and respect, noting when terms may be dated or offensive.Whether you are a lifelong New Yorker, a former borough kid, a language lover, an actor learning an accent, or someone who simply misses the sound of home, How Ta Tawk New Yawk! is a funny, nostalgic, and informative celebration of a voice that is unmistakably New York.
