They add a strong "r" sound after words that end in vowels. (i.e. "umbrella" --> "umbreller"

They say "ain't" a lot, too.

They drop the H if it's the first letter of the word. Like heat would be 'eat or health would be pronounced 'ealth.

they use phrases that rhyme instead of the actual word so that, 'syrup and figs' is wig, 'bubble bath'- laugh, 'mutton and geoff'-deaf and so on.
