Bawlahmur

“Bawlahmur” is the pronunciation the native people of Baltimore pronounce “Baltimore”. This pronunciation is used by the British, blacks, whites, Asians, Hispanics, Arabs, literally almost anyone who was raised in the ghetto, or poor, or dangerous, or atrocious, or not da rich life in Baltimore pronounce it this way. Usually the rich kids from areas like Federal Hill, Roland Park, dem big ass apartments/condos in inner harbor also force an accent on it to sound like they got the native stereotypical Baltimorean accent.
