I am from Massachusetts and I don't have the Boston accent but I have family who do. They use phrases like wicked supah, whatevah, and they would say supahvisah. My friend and I would frequently go to museums and gallery openings, when we didn't like something and didn't want to say it out loud (you never know who is next to you) we'd call it "Aht". I'd say "Wow, now that's an interesting piece of Aht" Aht=Bad Art :)
