Since the last post was kind of a bummer, here’s my take on an Accent Vlog. I tried to keep it under five minutes, but didn’t.
(Stolen entirely from Christina’s Rocking the Suburbs.)
Say the following words:
Aunt, route, wash, oil, theatre, iron, salmon, caramel, fire, water, sure, data, ruin, crayon, toilet, New Orleans, pecan, both, again, probably, spitting image, Alabama, lawyer, coupon, mayonnaise, syrup, pajamas, caught
And answer these questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that curls into a ball when you touch it?
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 use to change the TV channel?
I gotta say, answering these questions, I… I only know one thing to call some of these things! I mean, I know soda/pop/soda, but… what else do you call the wheeled contraption you put groceries in?!?
Linnea wants you to read ..Wanna know what’s in my brain? Here you go…
You are just precious! So happy that you are my cousin!!! Love the haircut.
I like your hair! Is very cute and something I could never pull off! And I have no idea what you might call it with it’s raining while the sun is shining. It happens all the time in Colorado and we just ignore it.
I live right over in Georgia and we have the exact same accent, because all of your answers would have been mine as well.
Although I do believe the raining and sun shining thing is “the devil beating his wife”. My VERY country in-laws taught me that one.
This was cute! My dogs freaked out when they heard your dogs!
Also, I’ve always heard it called a sunshower – when it rains when it’s sunny out. Something my grandparents from NC used to say.
I’m going to have to do one of these myself. I’ve been fascinated with accents since I was a teenager and we moved around a lot.
You are adorable! You resemble Ashley Judd to me – do you get that a lot?
You could not possibly be any more adorable. This video is my favorite ever.
bessie.viola wants you to read ..view of a preschooler
You’re so adorable! I can’t wait to meet you at the Blathering.
@Jesabes, I AM SO PSYCHED. We will have too much fun!!
Love this! I’m totally stealing!
@Lyndsay Cool Legumes, PLEASE DO. I have often imagined your voice in my head. I need confirmation!
Is that a hoodie from Target? I tried it on and I wanted to love it so hard but it looked STUPID on me. If it is that hoodie, I am glad it found a nice home.
You are SO CUTE. SO! I love how bubbly drinks are called Champagne. Yes. Yes they are.
@A’Dell, IT IS A HOODIE FROM TARGET. I’d been eyeing it for awhile. It probably looks entirely stupid on me too but so comfy and tunic-y long. (I’m so long-torsoed that everything looks cropped on me.)
I’m not going to lie, this intrigues me. “Champagne” made me laugh out loud. I’m going to try to see if I can do this sometime soon.
OMG DOG FARTS ARE THE WORST!!!!
You are just too adorable
That was awesome!
When I lived in Atlanta after college, I so encountered that Everything is Coke phenomenon. I still find it odd.
Also, I expected your accent to sound much more Southern-y. Whatever the hell that means.
Very much looking forward to meeting you in person!
K wants you to read ..Pattypans
okay that was hilarious. You are so cute, I just want to put you in my pocket. And maybe I’ll try to do that WHEN I MEET YOU!!!!
I’m glad you did this now and reminded me that I’ve been wanting to do one myself. And now I have!
Being from Tennessee I feel like I would have said everything you said just like you said it so perfect representation!
Except I think I say grandaddy long legs. And I have no clue with that sun shining and raining one either. My first thought was rainbow but that really doesn’t make much sense the way it’s worded.
LOVE the hair!!
Your drawl is adorable! Who farted in the beginning? A dog or one of the males in your house?
I love you so hard and am so bummed I can’t hug you.
ONE DAY, MY LOVE. ONE DAY.
(Totally going to vlog later. Totally.)
