Louisville?

[billanole]

I have a story from Panama city beach about a young lady who took the time one evening to explain me the appropriate pronunciation.




And I don't even remember her name..

Sweet Lou?

I don't care. I've hated Louisville since the 1980 Final Four

Exactly, the 'ville sucks balls

However they choose. My son used to live in Houston County Georgia. They pronounced it House-ton. They would correct you by saying you live in a house not a hoose.

Same way in Manhattan. House Ton Street is a busy one down at the “border” of Alphabet City.

“louie ville”

Proper French: “louie vee-yuh” (sort of)

St. “Awgusteen” Florida as opposed to St. “Uhgustin” the Saint.

Hey…in Iowa if you live in Madrid…you pronounce it “Madurd”….always loved that one.
