    UK London and east is, ‘y’aight’, which is you all right? Shortened to one syllable.

      In Maryland we just eyeball the other person and both say Aight at the same time to make sure the passer by isnt about to try something slick

        My understanding of the Maryland accent is entirely Baltimore from the wire and the ‘aaron earned an iron urn’ video. I imagine it’s closer to ahh-iit, though. Is it the single sound of London or drawn out like I imagine?
