LosMediasBlancas Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 10:45 PM) 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 12:13 AM) 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

DrunkBomber Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 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."

WilliamTell Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 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.

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 It might just be outdated and one of those temporary fad-type words, but it was in heavy use a couple years ago.

LosMediasBlancas Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I believe it's because of the heavy Irish influence in the city's history, how about referring to your mother as "My Mah". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
