Rezzazance (n): the word your Uncle Jerry uses after one too many Yuenglings during the Phils game:

The Spelling Bee on ESPN sucks nowadays. They just run out of words and crown like eight champions. You want to spice it up and get some ratings? Have Uncle Jerry here be the word giver:
Uncle Jer: Your word is “Wooder”.
Contestant: Can I have the language of origin?
UJ: Ridley, PA.
C: Can you use it in the sentence?
UJ: You know why these beggels are so good? They use the wooder from the Brandywine crick.
C: Water. W-A-T-E-R. Water.
(Bell dings) UJ: Wooder is W-O-O-D-E-R. Go have a seat over their sweetheart.
You know Roy Holiday and Alshon Jeffries gave Uncle Jer fits when he called into WIP.
Add this character to the list along with the lucky Philly mongrels and the Delco dudes who got a beer thrown on them by a Braves fan. Playoff runs breed characters and I can’t wait for more:

P.S. You want more Philly accent content? Here’s four different variations of the Philly accent for the price of one. Shoutout to the 9 Ball World Champions at the Port Richmond Billiards Club. It really is a Philly sports rezzazance. Hang the banner:
