In many different parts of our country there are different slangs, dialects, tones and meanings for everything. The United States has a bunch of different cultures to influence our type of speak what we talk about. I have lived in Oklahoma for most of my life and have most of my family in the Midwest in Minnesota and in Iowa.
I have come in contact with most of these different slangs and uses of the English language since I am able to travel with my father and even seen him pick up the slang of where he travels saying “Boston” with that oh-so cocky “Boston” twang it has.

I never would have imaged people from Texas pronouncing it with a “z” it sounds too much like an inappropriate word to me though my mother likes to say it with a “z” to make fun of their name but have never heard it used in a real
