Regional Dialect


This is so dorky. But fun. Also, I was recovering from a novocaine injection (thanks, Dr. Arndt) on the left side of my face so I couldn't really move it very well. That's why I was kind of self-conscious about smiling because I would have looked like I had suffered from a stroke or something. I am so awkward. And I sound suuuper American. Bleh. If you want to do it too, here they are:

Say these words:

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

Now answer these questions:

What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?

What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?

What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?

What do you call gym shoes?

What do you say to address a group of people?

What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?

What do you call your grandparents?

What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?

What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?

What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

    I think I'm going to have my North Carolinan (Carolinian?) brother-in-law do this. For a guide.
