Srimp Anyone??

I say a lot of things wrong jokingly and on purpose (to my mom and daugters, mostly things my daughters used to say when they were little), but sometimes I say them to the wrong people or at the wrong times and get looked at like I am nuts. Some things have just become habit, so I say them.

On another note, I absolutely cannot believe the waiter would have corrected you. I find that very odd.

Shannon...I do too. I am very outspoken and my mouth has ZERO filter!LOL It can get me in trouble. I'm sure he'll think twice before he ever makes that mistake again

I'm from North Carolina and I think you pronounce it just fine and dandy!

Thank you Gina...I do too!

Folks laugh at me and say I am the only person who can put 3 sylables in a 2 letter word, like on.  I think I pronounce it more like own.  Anyway.  I also can't believe he corrected you.  Good thing he doesn't work in a chinese or italian resturant.

Ha! That would have been a HOOT!

I remember on year when we went to Kansas ( inlaws live there) and I have been living in central Va for a VERY long time, of course as with any vacation someone always ends up in the ER. This time it was me, I had something embedded in my eye. When the Dr asked me where I was from, I said Buckingham Va, he said where? Ok this went on for 5 minutes and my husband finally had to tell the Dr what I was sayin, apparently I was saying, bu-in-ham.... I have lived here way too long!
I have worked hard to get rid of that accent but find when I go back home to Bu-in-ham, my accent heads back there and it gets REALLY REALLY BAD!
I completely understand what you are syaing about your accent!!! I love the srimp though, its halarious ...LOL

I love it...Bu-in-ham! I get teased a lot for my country accent but you know what?? I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love who I am. Maybe that's why it ticked me off a bit!

ROFLMAO."can you pronounce N-O T-I-P?"......I f'n love it!!!!

I know girl...RIGHT!! I just wish I could have gotten a picture of his face. THAT was priceless!
