I ran across this Blog Hop on Cat's blog
Three Kids and Us and just had to join in... I know I am later than everyone else, but it is just so much fun, that I had to share it with everyone. Cat found it on Annie's blog
Mama Dweeb. The idea behind the hop is to see how people from all around the country pronounce different words and hear what they call different things... It really is a ton of fun. My favorite is Jon and Cat from Three Kids and Us they live in the same house and can't even agree. TeeHee.....
So here is how a woman who grew up in New England, the center of Connecticut, to be precise and then moved to Florida sounds: (the list of words and questions are listed under the video)
Words:
Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught
And here are the list of questions:
~What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
~What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
~What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
~What do you call gym shoes?
~What do you say to address a group of people?
~What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
~What do you call your grandparents?
~What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
~What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
~What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
OK, so let's hear how you sound and head on over to the other blogs and see how every body else sounds, one of my favorites is Annette from
Funnyjello, you really have to check it out, she's from Yew-Tah.
Have a great week!
