How do you say it?

[gunslingerdick]

My son and I were arguing over the way one would say "Come at me, Bro".

He says it with the emphasis on "at" as in "Come AT me, Bro".

I say it with the emphasis on "come" and again on "bro" as in "COME at me, BRO." I think although I'm not sure. I just know he says it wrong.

Thoughts?

 

[heelz2345]

I think you’re fine either way as long as you don’t replace “at” with “on”

 

[gunslingerdick]

I just lost my shit reading that. That's good. Real good.

Are you still able to kick his ass? If so, that is your answer.

That's what I said. He disagreed.

Then you must kick his ass to let him know not to come at you with that junk.

Sounds like you and him have a good relationship. Good for you.

 

[Heels Noir]

Really? You think so? Son and father arguing, getting in each other's face, going back and forth with "Come at me, bro"? Sounds like mom needs to intervene, pronto!!

Your wrong I bet he has mom right where she needs to be, the kitchen!

Remember when Charles Barkley said there’s no reason to buy your wife a watch bc there’s a clock on the stove?? Lmao.

My first house was in a really questionable part of Clarksville here. One night me and some friends were sitting outside drinking (most nights me and some friends were doing this) and this kid next door hit his dad (think his name was Chainsaw or something) in the head with a brick. Then his dad said, 'Why did you do that? You know I love you, son.' Good times.

Sounds like they are enteractin with each other and that is a good thing.

That scene is cinematic gold. Kevin needs an NFL contract ASAP. He hits Marv square in the head 4 times in a row from 3 stories up. He’s got a rocket!

I’m not positive, but I don’t think Kevin actually made that throw. A little movie magic, if you will.

Dammit.

Other ones of "how do you say it" :

- There's no audible "T" sound when pronouncing "Atlanta."
- "During" is not pronounced as "dear-ing" or "deur-ing." I've heard this a lot lately and it irritates me. It's "durr-ing" and is barely two syllables.
- If you pronounce "Houston," "huge," or "human" with a "y"-sound beginning, cut your tongue off.
- The NFL team that plays in Pittsburgh is not folks who work a moonshine still. It isn't the "Still-ers." It's the "STEE-lers."
- The state to the West of Alabama: "Mi-sippi" -- eliminate the middle syllable
- "Aaron" and "Erin" are pronounced the exact same way... "AIR-in." Fukkin yankees.
- "Bojangles" is pronounced with the first syallable emphasized. "BO-jangles." It is not "buh-JANGles."

That's all I got for now. I'll come back with more later.

Which "T" though?

- "Bojangles" is pronounced with the first syallable emphasized. "BO-jangles." It is not "buh-JANGles."

I prefer the Spanish pronunciation: bo-HAHN-glays

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Which "T" though?

Both, but especially the second one.

Does this also apply to Hotlanta?

 

[uncboy10]

How the hell are you supposed to say Atlanta without the first "t"?... You gotta have one or the other or its just Alana

Folks who flock to resorts or the seashore year-round to Wilmington, NC, are not "turists." They are tourists.
It isn't "Can I hep you?" The word is help and the L isn't silent.

No matter what you call ‘em, @heelmanwilm will still want to jujitsu their asses back home.

There's a word I can't believe nobody has axed about yet.

Needs a separate thread that's race-specific pronunciations

Yeah, I pronounce it more like At-lanna

 

[gunslingerdick]

Agreed.

 

[tarheel0910]

I've never heard anyone pronounce it without at least one "t." Maybe it's something that the 9 Atlanta natives do or it could just be a Cobb county thing.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Yeah, I pronounce it more like At-lanna

Correct
