Matt Damon & Casey Affleck Curse Like True Bostonians | Behind the Scenes

[@50Nobody50]

I love Casey in Good Will Hunting, he has the best line in the entire movie. "Um...I ate a bug"

[@joanneleyva4942]

As a girl from Southie, this interview warmed by heart!

[@Ghost-of-a-man]

My boys wicked smhaaaat

[@c.r.p.968]

Such a stereotype. Like the Brooklyn accent of Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy, 'I'm walkin' here.'

[@WampaReacts]

​@@c.r.p.968 I say wicked all the fuckin time kid.

[@carlbaltrunas6901]

Hey! The h comes right before the t!

[@atlanticgirl76]

The comment about using "fucking" as a placeholder: that's a Bill Burr bit.

[@lindseyann6562]

But it's very true

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

I am from Boston and don't talk that way, but I am glad people are keeping the tradition alive!

[@leeharakas1781]

My friends from South Boston said that the most authentic Southie Accent in THE DEPARTED was Leonardo DiCaprio

[@mantaszmenskis5619]

Pissa? The f-word as a comma, Douchebag as a suffix.

[@Bedrockbrendan]

Wicked just means very in Boston. It is odd to hear someone say 'that's wicked', without wicked as a modifier for something else. You are more likely to hear people say 'that's wicked awesome'. or 'that house is wicked old'

[@c.r.p.968]

In my experience living on the North Shore for the first half of my life, I think a Saugus accent, with only some Malden accents have the same sound. Lynn is very similar to the inner areas around Boston, like Somerville, West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, etc. Just my opinion.

[@Bedrockbrendan]

@@c.r.p.968 I tend to think of Lynn as a very working class Boston accent

[@c.r.p.968]

@@Bedrockbrendan Agreed, but not the same as Saugus and some Malden. Hard to explain, as I am not a linguist, but it is crazy specific. Similarly, there is a cadence to a Quincy accent, aka speed talking, that is extremely specific.

ALways!

[@carlbaltrunas6901]

MAtt is right. The Kennedys originally had a Boston accent, but it morphed into a "Kennedy" accent. The Kennedys put their own little spin on it. I'm from Boston, and I have no idea why they did this.

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

"He got a specific Teamster for Renner." 😅😅😅😅

[@yvonnesurette]

I think so much of the real Boston outlook is because of Irish immigrants.Big influence.

[@jeadie2273]

It can also be used as a noun, verb, adverb and term of endearment…..this coming from a long time New Englander.

[@JCS1964-i7w]

AAAAAA, for FUCKS sake!

[@kylemarvin4384]

It's impressive to see two Boston guys seeming authentic without using slurs.

[@aliceflanagan3672]

Love these guys!

[@TheGalwayjoyce]

Yeah--if you're not from here, you can't do it. It's the worst massacre in English dialect; a Boston massacre.

[@LC-lr7sy]

Yeah, they were being way too kind about it. The guy they mentioned, Michael Stuhlbarg, does a terrible Boston accent in the movie. This is always my biggest complaint with actors when they do Boston movies because not everyone from Boston has that same thick Boston accent so just don’t do it. Let the actual Bostonians do the accents and just use the vernacular and sound northern. Drives me nuts.

[@c.r.p.968]

Absolutely! BTW, we are likely related as my great-grandmother was a Galway Joyce. LOL

[@strykerballcrush4650]

That and the hybrid Boston-Providence accent for those who live near on the Rhode Island border.

[@c.r.p.968]

@@strykerballcrush4650 Outside Providence. Hysterical. Jeetyet? (Did you eat yet?) Chevil (Girls name Cheryl). The list goes on. Oh, Providence.

[@Versatile70]

Nope the worst massacre is the kiwi accent. Some absolute shockers.

[@c.r.p.968]

People who aren't from New England should stop massacring the Boston accent. Just stop. Everyone doesn't speak the same, the difference in accents 15 minutes drive apart is profound. It's as if everyone from NY is from Brooklyn. Just stop. It's a hard accent. Don't try it... unless you're Jeremy Renner, who nailed it.

[@rybird07]

Fahkin Relax, yah goin wicked hahd

[@c.r.p.968]

LOL, I'm going to say that sounds specific to South Boston, possibly Dorchester as well. 😏

[@jimmydebutts3406]

Same for southern accents. There are dozens.

[@jeffbellotti4628]

There is some truth to this yes

[@c.r.p.968]

Nope. Suburban Boston from a family of speech and elocution teachers 😏who works in the film industry cringing listening to actors attempt an impossible accent. LOL

[@paulduartejr.8490]

Literally nobody in that movie who spoke with a Boston accent did a good job in portraying it. Matt and Casey's weren't bad but you can tell even tho they're from the area they never grew up talking like that. As someone from Mass it sounds like nails on a chalkboard when people butcher the accent oh my God. I'm from New Bedford and we have a similar accent to Boston's but you can tell we're not from Boston. Many different cities in the state (at least Eastern Mass I can't really speak on anyone from the West lol) have their own accent be it very similar to a Boston one. Also, Boston slang is New England slang in general. Took me til I was like a junior in high school to learn that we're the only part of the country that uses "wicked" the way we do😂

[@robpaxson4455]

I can hear a little Rhode Island in a New Bedford accent

[@carlbaltrunas6901]

I dunno; I was born in Boston and raised in "fancy pants" Melrose and, growing up, we all had the same heavy Boston accent. I trained myself out of it, like Leonard Nimoy did, because I was sick of being teased in California, but I can fall right back into it. As for "wicked", it seems to have spread from Boston to the whole country. Everything seems to be "wicked" now. As for swearing, we just didn't hear it anywhere near as much as Matt and Casey must have in Cambridge, and Melrose is only a couple of towns over from Cambridge. Go figure!

[@Stellarosie1]

These guys are from Cambridge, not Boston.

[@johndefrias662]

[@jackwilloughby239]

I worked out of Local 33 South Boston for three years, 2005 to 2008. I never heard any elaborate diatribes, not a lot of "Wicked". Nothing memorable. Boston is the town of Self Hype. Everyone sort of hates themselves and everyone around them. No one was especially gifted at cursing, which was interesting in the fact that the waw an abundance of things to curse about. If you want to learn some really elaborate cursing, go to the South, then take that and dial in your Boston accent. that would be good, memorable, poetic. The Irish in Boston seem to have forgotten that they are the progeny of poets. Really it was the Italians that had a grasp of expressing themselves.

[@kathleenmiller516]

These cats. And no diss on Matt, but Casey...swoon!

[@1GoodWoman]

Sorry. Boston does Boston. Everyone else just tries to.

[@yvonnesurette]

Johnny Depp nailed it in Blow, but all the other characters' accents were atrocious.

[@PhotoKaz]

say the Cambridge boys.. and I (in Boston) have not heard wicked in a decade.

[@c.r.p.968]

You must be traveling in the wrong circles 😏
