National Slang...

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

[Quain]

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"

[srawls]

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

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.

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.

[Erin Rapacki]

yea, we said it 'see-rup'

[Joe Matt]

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!
