  1. 1. How do you pronounce "Bengals"?

    • "Bing" like a bing cherry. Cincinnati Bingals
      9
    • "Bang" like the big bang. Cincinnati Bangles
      13
    • "Ben" like a man's name. Cincinnati Bengals
      28

Spelled "Ben", pronounced a skosh more like "Bang".
It isn't "Ben-Gals" (Ben)
It's "Beng-Gals" (Bang).

It only is if you are referring to the illustrious teams the Bengals fielded from 1993-2003.....hence my oh-so-funny username (it's a pun, you know).

Same here. But your wife doesn`t make fun of me . . . :P




Since we`re on the topic of pronouncing . . . how do you say Motorcycle ?

Do you say it like SICKle or SIKle ?

[quote name='steggyD' post='534580' date='Aug 27 2007, 06:53 PM']Well, my hick in New York is worse than your hick in Wisconsin.

Actually, it works for me. Helps me to stand out and get noticed.[/quote]


My accent stands out here no doubt.
I have people ask me all the time where I`m from.
Hell, I even had people in Ohio ask me that before.

Both sides of my family were born and raised in the hills of Eastern Kentucky.
I guess I got it from them . . .


Oh and do you know why guys like Southern girls more than Nothern girls ?


Because a Northern girl say "yes you can". And a Southern girl says " Y`ALL can !"

The one that always tickles people that aren't from the midwest is when I say "Please?" when I didn't hear what they said. I don't know what's so funny about it. It's what I've always said. Hell, I thought it was being polite.

will never use "excuse me?"
