"pecan" pronounciation
 
Ever since I met my wife we've had the infamous debate on the way you say "pecan". I say "puh con", she says "pee can"which drives me crazy. just wondering how yall pronounce it. I think its the yankee in her.

Top Dawg 01-02-2013 08:26 PM

Pahcon

Matt G 01-02-2013 08:37 PM

Pa-con. People sound retarded when they call it "pee-can". Same thing with pray-leen" and "praw-leen". Maybe it's the Coonass in me but maw maw always called those "praw-leens"!

There's nothing finer after a pop and a brot than a slice of Gam-gam's good old fashioned pee-can pie!

Haha definitely. Crazy how different accents are just from Lafayette to LC. LC people do talk like Texans. Then I can ride to my deer camp an hour and a half the other way and people talk like Rednecks! Then you can keep going south to Houma/GI and you get the "down da bayou" accent. 4 different accents in one state!
