Vlog Fun!

Ok... so, I'm totally jumping on the "dialect vlog" train, as several of my favorite bloggers have already posted theirs!  The idea is for me to read words and answer questions so you can hear how I speak.  I'm from Pittsburgh and I've lived here for 15+ years, but I don't think I have much of a Burgh/Yinzer accent.  You can be the judge of that!

Please don't judge me.   A little judging is OK, just not too much.  I have a head cold (dizzy when I move my head, ew), and I look pale as the walls in this computer room.  Oh well.  It was fun to do anyways!  The cats and I wanted to say heeey so here we are:





There you have it!  Did you suffer through the whole thing?  I'm proud of you.

The words to read are:  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.

Questions I answered:
  • What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
  • What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
  • 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 change the TV channel with?
So, now it's your turn!  Yes, you!  Join in on the embarrassment fun. Look at it this way, you're probably going to be less awkward and surrounded by less cats than me.

  1. Olive is adorable with her one little eye in the camera. I just want to smush her wittle face and giver her kisses. Bad Kitty must be camera shy.

  2. Love your one-eyed kitty ;)

    My fiance calls it a potato bug too.. I've never even heard of that term so I guess I feel better knowing that he's not the only one and making stuff up, lol.

  3. You don't sound like you have a cold at all! And I don't think you really have an accent, either. At least it wasn't what I was expecting! And Olive kitty is so cute staring into the camera, lol. Loved this, thank you for doing it!
