Orange-Juice - Some people, like me, say both words "Orinj joose" some make in one longer word "orinjoose" without the seperate "ju" sounds in the middle. The second is common with people who have english as their second language and also those whose parents aren't native english speakers.

Well, I've just moved up north to Chicago, and damn... the dialect here is a bit crazy. I've also run into the Minnesot(ans? ians? ites?) and here is what I hear all the time...
Chicago- Chic-ehh-go, Chic-Ah-Go, Chiga-ah Room- Rooom, Rum, ryoom. Roof- Roof, Ruff, ref Drives me nuts, I was aware that they talked like this before, but I just want to scream out - IT'S ROOF. ROOF. |
