Against my better judgment, I decided to join the VLOG MEME “How do you Say that?” this week. Basically a bunch of bloggers get together and all pronounce the same words so we can hear what it sounds like in their accent. I have a feeling mine will be on the top of the most embarrassing.
If you want to play, the words and questions are:
Pillow, Exhausted, Governor, Entrepreneurial, Calm, Milwaukee Wisconsin, Bagel, ambulance, aqua, femoral, address, rural, hypocrisy
What do you call a store where you buy alcohol?
What do you call it when you blow on a baby’s tummy and make them laugh?
What do you call batting your eyelashes on someone’s cheek?
What is another way of saying, “to deceive,” or “swindle?”
What is a funny way to say someone is not smart? (one fry short of a happy meal?)
Another name for butt?
What do you call it when you drive through mud. Lots of it, often fast and pray you don’t get stuck?
(update: i was hosting this on my blog but it overloaded the server so i had to move it to youtube..sorry for the quality)
If you want to play along, feel free to put your link in my comments. I don’t have a linky up because I have had some incompatibility issues with my “Mr Linky” and my facebook API. The links may go into moderation but I will pull them out next time I sign in.
I love the accent. As a transplant from Chicago to Alabama I’m always being referred to as the Yankee. My husband’s from Kansas City, Missouri and he’s never asked where he’s from but I’m ALWAYS being questioned.
I agree with the others, eskimo kisses is the noses rubbing together, butterfly kisses are the eyelashes on the cheek and femoral is the upper thigh as the femoral artery is near the groin area. (use to work in health care and we’d take femoral pulses during an emergency situation when too many people were at the head) Driving around in the mud is STUPID. Another term for stupid that I’ve heard and love “their bread ain’t baked with yeast”
Oh, good, I thought I was the only one who thought it was dumb to go driving around in deep mud trying not to get stuck… I wanted to say stupid, bu I just said it wasn’t something I would do. You know me, always wanted to be nice. TeeHee
I think you said the words all really well, except that you have a southern accent…. well except for Entrepreneurial, but don’t feel bad, a lot of people had trouble with that one. You don’t have to say it – you ARE ONE!!!
BTW, I totally agree with Boston Mom Blog: Your boobs ARE ginormous!! Looks fabulous, you look beautiful!! =)
Haha stupid! haha. I soo wanted to say that but didn’t want anyone to offend anyone.
btw, your boobs are ginormous!!
OH! I wanna play!!!!
You do have an accent to us out here in the NW…but I love it!
I have to agree with Nichol…eskimo kisses are with your nose and butterfly kisses are with your eyelashes…:)
ha! Your hysterical. I can’t say entrepreneurial either…I can’t even spell it (YAY spell check). I tend to pick up accents where ever I am, too.
Ahahaha! You are too cute girly! I would call going through the mud stupid too! My dh will do that sometimes, but we call it 4-bying
oh yeah, that is true 4x4ing..or 4 wheeling. I didnt think about it. Half our neighbors have them. I think they are a nuisance that kill kids. ROFL
Eskimo kisses are with the nose lol…eyelash are butterflies:)
A femoral (fem or uhl) is the upper part of your leg (as in femoral artery). I only know this since I have cracked (stress fracture) my thigh bones (femurs) on both legs (bilateral) an inch from teh hip sockets (femoral necks) AKA bilateral femoral neck stress fractures.
I have the same problem as you…when I lived in NC I had the worst accent ever and still when I visit my family there I temporarily adopt that accent again, it’s crazy!
I do love your accent by the way…it’s so cute! And I had SO much trouble trying to say entrepreneurial too…that’s a tough one!
You’re right! Mudding is pretty stupid
I’ve went along a few times and it’s just big boys playing around like little boys.
Glad I was not the only one who messed up on that word lol. I never say it and it is hard as all get out to pronounce.
Bless you’re heart darlin… I’m a Kansas girl who ended up in Foley Alabama for 10 years. I’m some kind of mix now, my family makes fun of me because I have “empathetic accents”. I take on the accent of whomever I’m around. I really don’t try & I don’t want anybody to ever think I am making fun of them, but I do it every time!! Southern Alabamian, Mexican, Russian, Minnesotian, Michiganian…..doesn’t matter. What a hot mess!
I love your cute southern accent Trisha! Yeah, I totally chose some hard words to say this go around. Next time should be a heck of a lot easier.
I loved your answer to the last one- stupid! Yeah, it really is.
Well I don’t feel so bad now because I couldn’t pronounce that etrepr… word either. I can say this, the next time Jon makes fun of me for sounding country I’m just gonna refer him to this video for comparison, there’s nothing southern or country about my accent in comparison to yours.
we call it “southern” not country.
LOL Well he says I sound “country” so maybe there’s a difference between the two.
depends where you live, i think, but in the south we put a drawl on vowels…so for like the word TIME it comes out like tyyyyyyyyyyme or byyyyyyyye. I should get charlotte to say these words. She has a big accent too.
LOL stupid! I agree – driving through the mud is just….dumb? Nothing personal to those who actually have a name for this event
I’m glad you joined in this – you do have quite an accent!
I will be recording mine a little later…
LOL you’re too funny!
BAHAHAHA! Ok, I will do this one since you did ! LOL You are so funny…. “STUPID” is perfect! hahaha
Ha! It’s very hard NOT to pick up the accent in these southern states. I’m glad you joined!
They’re going to kick you out of Alabama for saying mudding is stupid!
