GAME THREAD: Dick-Chards @ Buffs

Louisville CO is probably the only one that pronounces the "s".

I was giving my business address to a bank rep in Louisville, KY about a year ago and she didn't believe me that you were supposed to pronounced the 's'. I played it stupid, "why wouldn't you pronounce the 's'? .....you mean to say that Kentuckians try to talk like French people?!?!?!?"

Marilyn Smith Davis is an idot. She prolly moved here from California.

I’ve also been informed that Coloradans uniformly drop the hard “T” in the word mountains. Some even drop the “N.”

No T, No 1st N
We’re headin’ up to the MOW-inns.

No 1st N
Rocky Mout-end High

No T
The Moun-ins are calling & I must go.


What is the rule on “Mountains?”

I believe I'm option 3, No T, but hard to judge your own speaking patterns.

My mom's from Kentucky, and I used to go back every summer. I'm very familiar with "Lou-ville". Louisville was the only town I could remember my freshman at CU along Hwy 36 between Denver and Boulder, so when someone would say they were from Wheat Ridge, Westiminster, Arvada, or whatever, I would say "How close is that to Lou-ville?".

I did receive many strange looks.

Almost as many as when I moved to Hermosa Beach, CA that has the PCH/Supelveda running through it. "How close is that to Supp-el-VEE-da?"

My daughter says “Mou-uns.” I give her grief everytime I hear it.

 

[hokiehead]

I tend to pick up on regional accents and I consistently hear "mountain". And that word comes up a lot, I live at 9k and spend most recreational time even higher.

Wife confirms same.

It's pee-EB-low. Get it right (wrong)!

"Mao-inz" is obviously some subversive commie dog whistle - nearly as bad as the inability to get subject and predicate to agree.

Correct. It’s in the town charter to pronounce it that way. The honkeys that founded the town liked the name but didn’t want people to think it was a Mexican town.

The river is too. Depends who you hear it from though, supposed to be Spanish I believe. Heywood beat me to it.

Houston St. in NYC is “how-stun.” And why isn’t “Rodeo Dr.” pronounced “Road-ee-o?

 

[Daaah]

Cause it's Spanish. That reminds me of when my aunt from California came to visit us in Colorado and pronounced Baseline road "bassahleeneh".

Or “Arapahoe” Air-uh-pay-hoe.
