I do the exact same thing and get made fun of for it. Crayons=Crans, Greg=Graig, Egg=Aig, Leg=Laig, Keg=Kaig, etc.

 

 

Are you guys from Wisconsin? A Wisco. friend of mine says flaig for flag and taig for tag etc.

 

Just whatever you do, don't say malk for milk.

I hate it when people say melk.

Isn't that the right way to say those words?

 

Apparently not. I guess it's "Kehg" and "Lehg" etc.

 

And I say Flag and Tag the right way, it's the "eg" ones I pronounce differently.

I think people that pronounce those words differently just want to be better than us and think that they are normal. I'm gonna get a dictionary and see how it tells me to say those words.

haha yep, thats how i sound

I say crans but I never got the whole aigs, laig thing. I say egg, leg. Im pretty sure thats the correct way simply based on the spelling. And anyone who says melk should be shot.

Ever notice some people pronounce the name Williams as Wee-Yums?

That is similar to how a Spanish speaker would pronounce the name.

Does anybody here call an "easy" girl (you know what I mean) a "bustdown"? (I have never heard a white person say that btw besides ones that hang around blacks/hispanics a lot and I would be surprised if someone did)

 

Also my wife makes fun of me for how I say "roots" and "roof." I don't pronounce the "oo" sound (as in how you'd hear it in "tools" or "boobs"), I say it almost like a "uh" sound. But for some reason it depends on the context of "roots," if I'm talking about a plant I say it that way, but I say it the other way if I'm talking about family, or the "root of the problem."

The word pop is pretty common throughout the midwest, no one around my area in Iowa calls it soda.

 

The biggest pet peave of mine is when someone says "warsh" instead of "wash." No offense if anyone says that but I cannot stand it. George Warshington, stuff like that bugs me.

I'm the same way as you.

I've never heard anyone use 'bustdown'. I'm not even sure I get it.

How about east coast people who put an 'er' after certain words? For example Daytona is Daytoner.

If anyone on here says warsh instead of wash please tell me what the hell youre thinking.

Are you from the south side?

 

It might just be outdated and one of those temporary fad-type words, but it was in heavy use a couple years ago.

Whatdown joe?

 

I call them bussdowns...

Whatdown joe?

 

I call them bussdowns...

 

and how does that mean easy?

Back to Chicago, anyone use the word 'front room' to describe the living room?...and the pronunciation sounds like 'french room'?

Whatdown joe?

"joe" is definitely a Chicago thing.

I second that, I mentioned it the other day.

It's more like "frunch room."

 

Also, I've never heard anyone say "Da" as an article in my life, unless they were just doing the skit from SNL.

and how does that mean easy?

Hell if I know, I do know it's been used around the last 5 years with me and my friends

I second that, I mentioned it the other day.

 

Three, that really gets my blood boiling.

How about the different ways we say 'you'.

Eat it, it's good for ya.

Let me setcha up with a couple of tickets to the game.

 

How about the way we try shorten 'that would be' into 'that'd be', and it ends up sounding like:

"Let me see if we can upgrade your seat. Wow, that be great, thx."

I have a million of them. People out here point things out to me all the time.

I believe it's because of the heavy Irish influence in the city's history, how about referring to your mother as "My Mah".
