If can, can if no can no can

I talked to my favorite auntie a couple days ago, and fifteen minutes into our conversation she interrupted to say, "Ho*, you sound like one haole already!"

What??? I've only been here for about two weeks. I know I can't have acquired the southwestern accent that quickly. Maybe it stay because I no like talk in broken English 'ass why.


*No my auntie was not calling me a ho. Unless everybody on the Big Island gets called a ho. If Jo still reads this blog maybe she can say whether Oahu people talk that kind of pidgin. Pidgin varies from place to place and while I don't speak in pidgin often, I know I have the Hilo townie accent.
