Dialect Experiment! Thanks, Baby Dickey! (I look like poo! Sorry bout that!)

3/4/2011

Today I saw an interesting experiment on Baby Dickey, one of my favorite blogs. It gave a list of words and questions that show just how differently people from different parts of the country sound. I decided to participate, since I am an Ohio native who was cruelly transplanted to Virginia at the age of 12. Okay, maybe not cruelly, as it WAS my choice, but I much prefer Ohio,lol. I look like crap, since I am very, very sleep deprived, but oh well. :) You mamas understand, I'm sure! And WHY would YouTube be so mean and use THIS as a still shot for my video? I was obviously in the middle of saying something, and I look gimpy!

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'd love to see what YOU sound like, too! Link up your posts so I can watch more videos! :)

Yay, thanks for joining in!! You sound pretty "normal" to me, haha... except for "New Orleans."

I have a friend that calls a remote a "bopper" (yea, for real) and I've heard "clicker" a few times.

And pleeeeeeeeease, you don't look like poo at all, you look great!

Hi from Kansas! And you look very pretty, like crap? what? um no.
Yes, I did mine at midnight so it is lovely. Mine is up at mamadweeb.com :)

Since I am from Kansas I don't think you have an accent.

Oh he is so little and adorable!! Mine is 2.5 months old. I love this age :)

I just came across this today from Cat's blog (3 kids and us) and was so happy to hear someone else call that bug a potato bug! Although since I am also from NE Ohio, I'm guessing it's a local thing :)
