Re: An historic vs. A historic
Definitely Greasy. Despise the word greazy.
I had a waitress in FL ask me if I want some more witter. I had to ask her to repeat what she said a couple times until finally she pointed to my glass of WATER and ask if I'd like more witter.
"Good dags. D'ya like dags? "
"Dags?"
"Yeah, dags"
"Oh, dogs. Sure, I like dags. I like caravans more."

Re: An historic vs. A historic
In St. Louis, Bellefontaine Road becomes "Bell-fountain", or worse yet "Bella-fountain", and Chouteau becomes "Sho-do".
I've also heard things like-
44, 64, highway 40 become "farty-far", "sixty-far" and "highway farty"
Toilet become "tar-let"
Wash becomes "warsh"
I believe these additional Rs are general midwestern things.

That's nothing. Ever been to Bois d'arc (Bo-dark), Versailles (Ver-sales) or Prague, OK (Prayg)?Chris wrote:In St. Louis, Bellefontaine Road becomes "Bell-fountain", or worse yet "Bella-fountain", and Chouteau becomes "Sho-do".
And I bet half of you who swear up and down to never use greazy do so unconciously on a regular basis. People never want to admit to that one, but a lot of them say it regardless. I mix and match myself.

Re: An historic vs. A historic
Bieng from New Orleans I've heard o replaced by e, many times. Most of the population talks this way.
earl is oil
sperlt is spoiled
pernt is point
erster is oyster
berled is boiled
ernge is orange
and so on...They do pronounce the French Street names right though.

Re: An historic vs. A historic
FYI, the whole a historic/an historic thing was a serious question. It's been bothering me for a while now, so if anyone else has any feedback or reasons for or against, I'd love to hear it.
The only reason I asked about greasy vs greazy is because I had a linguistic anthropology professor who tried to figure out of greazy was a regional thing, but found it was randomly distributed.

Re: An historic vs. A historic
An historic is archaic, or possibly British. We be Americans. A historic elephant is gray. An historic elephant is only grey in the UK.

Re: An historic vs. A historic
I'm pretty sure I use an historic / a historic interchangeably.
"I went to an historic hotel on vacation."
"It's a historic town."
"I went to an historic hotel on vacation."
"It's a historic town."
RE: An historic vs. A historic
It's obviously not A historic, you fucking assholes. Otherwise you really have to stretch to pronounce the long A at the risk of under pronouncing it and sounding like you're saying "UH Historic" and subsequently sounding like the product of inbreeding. Don't support inbreeding; Don't say "a historic".
I bet you pronounce Caribbean "cAruhbEin", like the slack jawed mouth breather you were born to be. Syllables jumping up and down too, it sounds like shit. You probably smell like shit.
So clearly it's AN historic. The nice solid N keeps the sound of the two words from running together (uhhistoric = bad) and it sounds less retarded.
And obviously it's Ca rib bE an. Got a nice smooth syllable transition. Sounds like it's spelled. The only tricky part is that the double consonants in the middle mean that I isn't long. And if the I isn't long, then the A would sound stupid being long so it's not.

Re: An historic vs. A historic
So, uh, do you say "an house"? "An hysterectomy"?

Re: An historic vs. A historic
I just heard some Chevy truck commercial on the radio. The redneck pronounced Silverado with a long A, Silver-ai-doh.... Wtf
aka "That Guy"
Re: An historic vs. A historic
As long as no one here says "Al-yoo-min-ee-yum" like the Brits do. That shit's whack.

RE: An historic vs. A historic
Then there is SANT Louis, SANT Charles and, warsh the socks in the zink.
And that town in Nawf County, Fluorescent.
as for coupon, one doesnt say, Grey Pyoopon mustard.
I understand the "axe" vs "ask" thing came from slaves. If they said words properly they were called Uncle Toms and bootlickers. To differentiate themselves from the White people they started saying words differently.
Dont know how true that is but is sounds reasonable.
lots of funny words come out of south STL.
