Laughing quietly to myself

About listening to two teenage girls, one from Georgia and one from Long Island, try to have a conversation, with difficulty, because they don't understand each others' accents. In particular, the word "awesome" was a sticking point.

"It was, like, so oooaaahhhsum."

"Um. I'm not sure what you mean. Sorry."

"Oooaaahhhsum! You know, like, super great...super cool!"

"..."

"..."

"Oh! Aaaaaahsome! Yeah, I got you."
