In JAWS, what accent did Quint have?
Was it an Irish accent?
A working class Bostonian/New England accent?

What do you think?

I'm familiar with the Boston accent and it wasn't that. I always thought it was Irish.

It was a classic Irish/New England accent. Not fully one, not fully the other. Pretty common up here.

You are probably excluding half the forum with this question. Not everyone has seen Jaws



And Irish.

Yeah I saw it once. And it didn’t leave much of an impression. :eyerole:

I came across Jaws when flipping through the channels last weekend - when they're out hunting on Quint's boat - and I started gushing about the movie. My 20 y/o son says "I don't get it. It's an okay movie about a crappy looking shark."

How'd I raise such an idiot?
