Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations How do you pronounce it in your area?

Theo,
Like you I guess I'm not grown up yet. I spent my early years in the Springfield area. So I guess I'm right on that I-70 line. My mom still lives there. We spent a lot of time up by Sandusky/Bass Islands though and Russels Point or Indian Lake whatever it's called now.

rick r.

yea and it's trotline not troutline...... country boys can survive especially when we fixen to eat cropeeeee.

OK so how do you pronounce "Wash"?

I know there ain't no r in it. LOL


Wash or warsh?

No "r" !

We pronounce it crop...eeeee in Wyobraska.
Of course a nice filet looks like a potato chip.

I'm goin' to warsh my cropee in the kitchen zink.

NWW, now yer really pushin it......i've been getting endless crop all my life about the way i say that word (as does my mom, dad, and two bros). i grew up just outside the D.C. area and everybody knows its pronounced "i warshed my car in warshington d.c. after fishin for crap-ee in the river"

that's my story and i'm stickin to it....

LMHO.. I knew it...I just knew it.

Really tho I grew up in Ill. and it was pronounced worsh. But I still know there is no r in it LOL

Well, having grown up as a southern California surfer, we have a lingo all to our own...

Dude look at this most heinous skinny fish.

Bro, that is wayyy cool.

Dude, what do you think this tasty morsel is called?

Bro, I think they call that a crappie fish.

Dude, don't harsh my buzz, your just calling it a crappie fish 'cause you didn't have the skill set to land this bad boy

No way Bro, thats the name... crappie fish. How'd you catch him?

Dude, like I tied on this thing with white feathers 'cause the red eye reminded me of what you looked like friday night, then I flung it into the lake. I felt a tug on the line and said "Hey Bud, lets partaaay."

Bro, I hear that it's six foot and hollow over at Sandstone Beach, lets go surfin.

Yea Dude, lets go surfn.

There are alot of words like this one for instance! I live in Missouri, Not Missoura

smarty pants.....


Bill Cody, make sure you dont miss this for the stunted bass thread.....

And finally, hey I think we have enough data for a rough draft....................



edited post......oh yeah, ewest, this may have potential for a poster session at the PB convention

Your right bohad, my step dad was from central Louisiana and he always had us kids to warsh the dishes in the kitchen zink.

While I don't want DIED to have to re-do the map, I want to stress that we are "wash" here in Pittsburgh, PA.

However, we are undecided on whether there is a "creek" or a "crik" running behind our house.

Wash and crop-ee are correct for SD! Good job with limited info, D.I.E.D.

How do you pronounce fillet? "fill - AY"?

Does that creek flow through a hollow or a holler? And if we wanted to have some cropee and warsh it down with a non-alcoholic refreshment, would we drink a soda or a pop?

Do I even dare throw the word "pecan" into this mix? :p

peee-can

just look at what you started rick.

as long as yer going nuts Ms. King....how about almond? awlmond, amin......gramma (from CA) said amin.

Amen D.I.E.D. (are you sure you weren't born in Georgia, lol?)
BTW I pronounce almond the same way as you, but I leave the "d" off the end. Kinda like Aww-man (shucks)!

I think it is the southern draw...how about Atlanta kinda like Alana.

If you're Hank Williams it's philly.
as in philly gumbo.

I know...that's file'.

Like Greg an' Duane an' Dickey Betts - the Aww-man Brothers Band.

I wondered when someone was going to mention the mighty ABB of the old days.

Ok oh smart ones. Since we have ventured off the original path (partly my own doing )... do I have any takers on the pronunciation of the location of our hatchery. Here are your clues: the spelling is "Alapaha" and the origin is American Indian. Any bravehearts out there???

Al-A-pa-ha ha ha ha ha
