a friend of mine moved to georgia for a year....he went to a grocery store and someone asked him "You fixin' ta use that buggy?", referring to a grocery cart

hahaha.. thats awesome... "buggy" for a cart... thats hilarious... in this day and age people still say buggy... crazy georgians...

i dont know if anyone else met the british team in new york.... but i got a kick out of the way they pronounced "aluminum" it sounded like "all-yoo-min-e-um"

hahaha! yes!!! i agree with you sharkbite, it's hilarious when they say aluminum. i wasn't at new york, and didn't meet the british team, but i've heard it on junk yard wars before, and it cracks me up everytime :)

alabama girls
 

A girl with a group of her friends, all from alabama, asked us how we say "syrup" and "liscense." Being from New-England, we said those words like we normally do, and that girl was so happy because she pronounces those words the same way we did. But, she gets made fun of in HER town because of her lack of a southern accent. I dunno, that was just one hilarious conversation.

How do you all say "syrup"? "See-rup" or "ser-up"? I personally say it "see-rup" (isn't that how it's spelled?), but i don't normally notice that one.

syrup
 

I say ser-up.

And also, does anyone else get noticed because their accent is extreme? Even the people i work with notice my accent- it's that bad. I am nearly incapible of pronouncing the letter "r" at the end of a word.

yea, we said it 'see-rup'

sur-up

Me and a friend made up the kewlest word. I swear that it will sweap the country. This summers coolest fad!

The word is Crack
and here is the equation
Cra zy + wack = Crack!

we made this up after we went on the rockin' roller coaster. it was off the Crizzak yo!

I know i suck but hey, still havin fun

A friend of mine went to Northern Ireland last summer. They say "crack" for fun. Having so much crack out here.

I actually say it sur-rup
oh I get noticed so much and i dont really have that much of an accent like i say beer, bare, and bear the same and my friends make fun of me for it but it is just the mixture of accents that they are hearing ( i moved to NH from Wrenthem Mass. when I was 3, my dad is from Boston and my mom is from Concord Mass);)

Another note on the lovely brithish:

"So your able to grab 2 nets?"

AHH NETS? It took me 10 seconds to figure out he ment goals :) it was in the queue line too... maybe stress impared my ability to figure out what goals were called in other countries.

Syr-up. My father is foreign, and it is funny to listen to him. He is arabic, and speaks english very, very well, but he still can't prounonce words correctly. Like ambulance, he chops it up to a slurr. It is great! :p :D

ima see-rup myself...but i hear ser-up all over the place :)
