Hey go up on the ruff what the fuck is a ruff you ignorant yankee.
Roof that thing above your head as you sleep that protects you from the weather and flying monkeys.
When i was in grade school we had a teacher from chicago.
Roof was one of our spelling words.
Northern us accents tend toward the long foodish one southern accents tend toward the bookish one.
Mostly the distinction is between the two different double o pronunciations the long oo in food or the short oo in book.
The alternative pronunciation isn t ruff like a ruffle it has the same vowel as book or put.
They re both completely acceptable to me.
