There's a lesser known part of the Long Island accent that you can hear when we end words or statements with "-ay" that I don't think most of us are even conscious of.
I've given up, but most performers from Long Island will neutralize their accent for the majority of their projects (fair enough, I ask the same of Bostonians) — yet they never ever seem to catch this one. It's always a tell. Which is why I love it. We were born to the darkness.
