Brits pronounce Philly words better than we do

The 76ers are across the pond this week for the fun international contest against the Boston Celtics. That game will air Thursday on NBC Sports Philadelphia at 3 p.m. on the East Coast. But with some downtime in the days leading up to it, we sent some camera crews out to make some new friends and test their Philly vocabulary.

Let's be honest, I had to Google how to spell Conshohocken and Bala Cynwyd to write this post. So the fact that the Brits in the above video barely struggled to pronounce those two is quite impressive.

And, for real, if these Londoners told me we were pronouncing this list of Philly words wrong, as long as they said it with those accents, I'd believe them.

As for the Sixers players, they seem to be enjoying the trip as you can see below at the Tower of London. Even if they don't know all the local slang over there just yet.
