In Annie Hall, Woody Allen tells his friend about an encounter with an acquaintance who is an 'anti-Semite.' When asked if he had eaten lunch, the man had answered "No, 'Jew?" ;-) Regarding the commenters reference to ‘Djoo?’

My Irish grandmother used this expression when chasing my brother and I out of the kitchen when we were in her way. Am working on the geneaology and you were very helpful with an explanation of the derivation. Great web site. Love your sense of humor. Thank you Thank you for the info on skedaddle.

As I was growing up, the canonical example of a Philly accent was usually given as the following exchange: "Djeet yet?" "No. Djoo?" “I can’t think of an instance of an entire phrase (such as “Let’s get out of here”) being slurred into a single word.”
