bo-ah!
The conductors on the commuter rail yell, "All aboard!" just before the train leaves. Only in Boston, "All aboard!" sounds a lot like, "bo-ah!" They completely drop the "All", and truncate the "aboard" to "bo-ah," dropping the ending "rd" in typical New England fashion. This amuses me to no end; at least I am rarely board while waiting for my evening train.
