I wonder if it could get hot enough to melt vinyl seats or start a fire on upholstery in a car? What a shock that must have been for the car owner!!

My favorite on Survivor is Tom the farmer from TN. I know I couldn't live with him more than a week, but I just love his accent! Hey, when I lived in the Bay Area for 15 years I was always surprised to hear that I had an accent and that they would nearly always peg me as from the midwest or Ohio! lol I thought THEY had the accent!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 This is such a fun game to play .... how do you pronounce certain words. I worked with a woman from NC with a very heavy, pronounced southern accent. Understanding her was very difficult at times. One day a coworker from another dept. left my desk, walking back towards his office. My NC coworker started loudly yelling what everyone thought was " cave in " . People covered their heads and crawled under their desks .... except me, for after a few moments I realized that she was not warning us of impending danger, she was calling the gentleman who had just left my desk ... his name was . ;-) Now, the test for true southerners ... how do you pronounce the name of that other writing utensil that begins with a p and is not a pencil? ;-) Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure.>> Kathy, don't they have that commercial of the 2 girls from NY...probably from the Bronx with that exaggerated accent and they are in europe ...not sure what it is for but if you've seen it, you know!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 See, I said would deny her accent! I can't deny something that I don't have This reminds me of the time my good friend Ante (aka lexusangel) met me in Baltimore. Ante is from Westchester County, NY and is the mom of . Oldies from AOL will remember her. Anyway, I came from WVA and she came from NY. I found the hotel with no problems, while she had to get a police escort to the hotel...sheesh! I watched her arrive from the 23rd floor..it was a hoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually none of us has an accent ourselves, just everyone else. It's natural. Jessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I used to have a neighbor and friend who was fresh out of Scotland. She really broke me up sometimes. She had a bunch of brothers and had some wild stories to tell. One of them started with " we had a sailor under the house-- " I stopped her, you had sailor under the house? what were you doing with him? No, she said, a hole, you know. Oh, a cellar. Sure, a sailor. I've had many laughs over that one. There were many others. She was from Glasgow. Jessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
