So here's my first vlog. I kinda like them better. Sure it's weird seeing your facial expressions and hearing yourself talk, but it sure is more time efficient!
note: I can't figure out how to make the video screen bigger. Any ideas?
Please respond!!! I'm just curious. ;-)
Thanks to Ashley for posting this vlog first; her blog is really funny, informative, on trend, and entertaining to read. You should read it, too. :-)
Apparently these questions were part of a dialect study at Harvard and the results can be found here.
The list of words:
aunt - route - wash - oil - theatre - iron - salmon - caramel - fire - water - sure - data - ruin - crayon - toliet - New Orleans - pecan - both - again - probably - spitting image - Alabama - lawyer - crayon - mayonnaise - syrup - pajamas - caught
The 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 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 that wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries in the super-market?
- What do you call it when the rain falls and the sun is still shining?
- What is the thing you use to change the TV channel?

Cora! Of course you have an accent! It's one of my favorite things about you :) Don't tone it down for the Bostonians-- they'll catch on.
ReplyDeleteHey Cora!
ReplyDeleteIt's called "the booger bear (aka the devil) is beating his wife".
Also, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? You should come to NYC!
Love,
