Gugny Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Just now, ExiledInIllinois said: My daughter was in grade 4 and her teacher (older lady) said worsh/warsh. My daughter, being coached earlier in life by two sage and linguistic poets (wife & I ), honed right in on the accent. She said to her teacher: "You from Pittsburgh!" LoL... My daughter then threw me under the bus when the teacher took umbrage to a young kid subtly mocking her. ? My sixth grade teacher, Mr. McIntyre, had a heavy New England accent. We had a Linda in our class. He called her Linder. So, naturally, that became her nickname for the next 6 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still sounds out like @ShadyBillsFansaid: Brussel sprouts. The "s" in sprouts is always present unlike the last "s" in Brussels. Quit while you're a head... What the hell are "prouts."

So the "s" emphasis is on "sprouts", right? I will give you that. But what the hell the difference? Like one "L" or two in Brussels. You're caught red handed moving the goalposts. Fess up now before @Cripple Creek comes here and schools you! 2 minutes ago, Cripple Creek said: Please stop trying. The message is beyond him. You know what the USACE motto is? ESSAYONS!

My mother used to say "draw" for drawer and "mirrah" for mirror when I was young. I think she got that from her parents, who were from the Bronx (after moving here from Puerto Rico). Yeah, New Englanders get ***** for not pronouncing their Rs, but some parts of New York/New Jersey are just as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
