Yeah, but no one said we Washingtonians know how to pronounce anything.
(We don't.)
What. Really?![]()

Here is a short list of words and phrases I say that make people laugh or cringe.
Reckon (as in I reckon so)
Everhow (Everhow many you want, you take 'em.)
Devilment (What devilment is NCG up to today.)
between the devil and the deep blue sea (If he ain't careful he's liable to find himself between the devil and the deep blue sea.)
ground squirrel (a ground squirrel is a chipmunk. I don't know why it's called a ground squirrel. I guess because it ain't a tree squirrel.)
holler (a hollow in a mountain or yelling at someone)
big (the biggest problem. this is more commonplace i think.)
pert near (about just)
least (youngest or smallest)
leastways (at any rate)
directly (which actually means in a little while, or by and by as in "I'll be there directly." Actually means you're taking your time.)
fine as hair on a frog (fine or good)
whatchacally
Decoration (annual event when you go decorate your family graves. I thought this was pretty common place until I asked for a day off for one upcoming.)
and then just colloquialisms:
dumb as a box of hair (my absolute favorite description of myself ever)
dumb as a bag of hammers
don't piss down my leg and call it rain (a great alternative i just heard recently is don't trout on my feet and call it apple butter)
_________ on off (go on off, smurf on off, piss on off etc.)
cold as a well digger's belt buckle

I shall have to record myself next time I get drunk.
I have a New Jersey accent. AKA I sound obnoxious and can't pronounce the letter T when it's in the middle of a word and hate enunciating anything.
