The SLANG Thread.

My city doesn't so much have special slang as really meathead sounding pronunciation, for example:

wit = with
wuhda = water
fie dolla = five dollars
axe = ask

And so on and so forth.

I wouldn't really say the people who pronounce it that way sound like Elmer Fudd. They sound much more meathead-ish than that.

That doesn't bug me near as much as someone calling a Sprite a Coke.

And that doesn't bug me nearly as much as someone drinking Sprite as an adult.
