What am I getting myself into?
According to my friend, Long Islanders think that upstaters say "orange" weird because they don't pronounce it or-RANGE-uhs
(it is going to be hilarious when I help him move out there and get to hear his girlfriend's family talk)
I pronounce it "awwwringe", like "cawfee" and "dawg" and other things of that sort. , and I live on the island. I'm not from here originally though, I'm from Queens.

Apparently, we're very nasally. When I was up in RI, we were all making fun of each other's accents, and I got teased for saying "class" like "clayyyysss", all nasally.

What part of Long Island are you coming to, Mister Hsu? Or is her family coming to you?
