Okay I could not resist doing this too, so here is that list of words and questions everyone's been reading. One thing I know I tend to do that once was semi-on purpose but is now habit, and I do blame Nick, is to pronounce crisp t's rather than be lazy-tongued in pronunciation of words like data, theater, where often one hears Texans pronouncing it more like 'datda' or 'theatder' -- kinda a slide between t and d. Sorta. LOL. I also tend to say 'on' kinda weird...got that from my mom. I should've added that.

And FWIW, both my son and niece have always said aunt the other way. Like Northerners. I do not know why. LOL.

Also, how else does one pronounce syrup? What other options are there??? And remote!

Say These Words: Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, 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

Now answer these questions:

What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house? "Dammit, my daughter was caught tp'ing the neighbor's house. Again."
What is the bug that when you touch it, curls into a ball? "Don't you dare squash that doodlebug! It is bad luck!"
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called? "Man, all I want now is a soda and all I've got is this beer."
What do you call gym shoes? "Has anyone seen my other tennis shoes? Wait. MADDOX! STOP CHEWING MY TENNIS SHOE!"
What do you say to address a group of people? "Hey y'all, want to meet at Riscky's for a Shiner?"
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs? "Do NOT pull the legs of daddy longlegs. That could be your grandfather!"
What do you call your grandparents? "Papa Cox and Papa Scott were both awesome, and I miss them both like crazy. My Grandmother Cox and I butted heads, but I adored my mom's mom. Wish I'd known them all longer!"
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket? "Our Albertson's has really nice new shopping carts!"
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining? "Wow, pretty!"
What is the thing you change the TV channel with? "Who took the batteries out of the remote?!"
