- hey everyone, this is the accent tag featuring me (from North Carolina) and my friend, Sarah, (from Pennsylvania)! If you want to see who talks "correctly" keep watching! :) Thanks for watching and please SUBSCRIBE!
It's so annoying when the southern girl kept telling the northern girl that she was snobby for saying words a certain way.
thethingabouthappiness no kidding!
Yes, and that is the way here in NC. A lot of southern girls are on the offense about sounding wrong or silly. I was raised in Fl with yankees as best friends and now I'm a hot mess. My Fl friends say I sound southern and I also take it like I sound stupid, so I correct myself when I hear it. Yet I love to hear some southern accents. I'm 56 and a hot mess. Which the switching back and fourth.
lol
I’m from Mississippi and I couldn’t believe she was trying to correct her like that. Maybe it’s because they’re so close, just a little aggravation but it was rude
southern woman one is so annoying. she thinks english with southern accent is correct english lol
The southern is so domineering and bossy.
Because we southerners are aggressive lol
She dont represent us fuck her
I've heard southern women have passive-aggressive down to an art.
ChiliPepper not all of us lol😂
Not normally. Shes just kinda shes bossy
I was always told that when it rains while the sun is shining it means the devil is beating his wife. Weird but that's what the old folks told me!
Toni Hunter
hahaha yeah..
In Brazil they name this "The fox marriage" rsrsrsr that's weird too...
Toni Hunter In New York it's "Sun Shower"
Toni Hunter I call it sun rain
Same
thats what i was always told too
I really don't think there is a right or wrong way to pronounce words it all boils down to where you come from on how you pronounce your words I think if we all sounded the same this would be a boring place
Thats what iam saying!!
Ok fun police
I’m Polish and nowadays 90% of my country’s population speak the same accent. Only old people can sound different. Absolutely no one can tell me that I’m not from their region in Poland. Because we all young people sound the same. It’s kind of sad. I always get excited when I find someone with an accent in my country. Btw I had funny situations when I was in San Diego. And I was asking for a trolley 🛒 at the supermarket. And people were like : ???
The same with a cloakroom. Haha
I'm Southern (MS) and my mama would have smacked me for saying "Pee-can". She said that a pee can was what a truck driver would keep under his seat for emergencies and that sounded rude. lol We were taught to say "puh-CAHN". :)
that's funny!
MarieLaveau puh-cahn.. I'm from MS and I ugh just hate it when people say Pee-Can... ugh
I'm from Mississippi too! I say puh/cahn.... it's weird when people say pee-can
+Bella Collins im from aouth ms
I'm from CA but I say puh-KAHN
Sarah is not shy she's being respectful while the other girl likes to talk a lot and Sarah also accepts others' opinion. Her personality makes her even more beautiful then she already is.
I can't stand the southern girl omg "that's stuck up. that's not night. you're wrong. you're annoying ." Grrrrrrrr
She ain't that southern. She sounds like a northerner. I'm from Southern Arkansas and I know an ascent when I hear it.
Southerner seems rude, like if you don't speak her way you're wrong. Australians pronounce words more like Northerners though
I would have said the other way round haha :)
I'd say the other way around too, I've lived in the south and I've never felt like that, I'm kinda a different kind of southern, I'm Puerto Rican and Italian and speak tiny bit of Spanish I learned from my grandma, and my other grandma who's Italian was from Boston and my dad talks with a Boston accent mixed with a southern accent because my grandpa is from the south.
no were awesome. its the notherners that are assholes
she's joking. did u see that
ben salter No I don't, as I'm not from the south. I'm just saying that my opinion of her was that she was rude...
the southern accent is amazing! we just done this tag on our channel (we are scottish) and we don't say aluminium like you guys haha:)
ItsHollyAndBecca ... Here it's called Al-um-in-um... When I was there (your turf) I heard Al-u-min-i-um...YIKES!!!
ItsHollyAndBecca I've heard a lot of people from europe say Alu - minium but I've never actually heard anyone say it like that in person.
I have a southern accent I hate it my Instagram is man_64_stunt
I am a Northerner and I pronounce crayon like (Cray on.)
Same lol
It is one Syllable Crayon
In Michigan we say Cran
Joetatoe Productions i say cran
4 years later I’m on here and I say cray an
She's a Pennsylvanian--you ought to get a real northerner from New England. We, for example, pronounce the vowel sound in "aunt" like the "a" in "father." The way you two say it, it sounds like you are speaking of an insect. Some Southerners pronounce it "aint." There's also the issue of our alleged infamous "r-dropping"--as in "I pahked my cah neah the cu'b at Hahvid Yahd."
The time you took to accurately place the quotation and dash marks to show people the right way to pronounce a word deserves a like..
What about a guy from Washington, D.C. Lol do I count for northern ?
Psychopathic 16 Yes... Would Texas count as Southern?
Jean Otaku indeed
How do you pronounce "parka"?
when it is raining and the sun is out i call it a ''sun shower'' ,don't know if anyone calls it that .
i call it a sun shower too
Here we say that it's the devil beating his wife
Emily Tejeda I'm New York, We say Sun shower!
Emily Tejeda the devils beating his wife
I call it normal lol
When I was growing up I was always told if it is raining and the sun comes out its the devil beating his wife. Lol
I don't even now what it is for it to be rainin and the sun to be shining.
We are definitely on the same page! LOL!!
Sometimes it's called a sunshower, at lest that's what I know it as
Ive heard that , Kelleanne and I have also heard that means its going to come a gullywasher that same time the next day.
Me to
North American accent is a perfect one baby.
I am southern and I say cran lol
Nah man south
even though I'm from the south, I pronounce some words differently than you 😂
I'm a southerner but I talk like a northerner... Is that weird?
Are u from the north?
***** Arevu from the north
Trust me it'll hit you quickly it happened to me now I speak like the south accent (I'm in Texas)
+Alexia Malchow You talk like the people you were raised with
Daniel F my whole family is from the south. And Germany. But from the south
When it's raining and sunny in the same time, in Russia we call it "mushrooms rain" because it's the best condition for mushrooms to grow. Nothing about devils or birth or something.
***** then i'm not as old as you think i am
The Devil is beating his wife!
Wealthy southerners have long had Black women has nannies, so, the southern accent has generally sounded slow because of the history of denial of proper education of blacks in the south. To my ears, the accent of the northerner girl sounds very patrician aka "snooty" whereas the southerner girl sounds much more relaxed and friendly.
Rodrick Colbert True my Northern accent is much more clipped and people can actually think I am being rude, when it is just the way I talk. It can drive me insane how "slow" the Souths accents are lol
cierra janay your just so wrong on that.
kit kat On my opinion? Sweet, thanks :)
+rjdulac Typically Northerners have a lot of stereotypes about the South, and as soon as they hear a southern accent, those stereotypes come into play. I've heard lots of people in the North say that all southern accents sound "ignorant." There are ignorant people everywhere and they tend to be the loud ones, so they unfortunately do a lot towards determining the stereotypes.
"What do you say when the sun is shining and it's raining at the same time" Here in the Southern Appalachian mountains it means "The Devil is beating his wife." Raised by my Great-Grandparents who as well as my family have very strong Southern accents. :)
I'd say is rainbow time.
But that's me
:)
I was always told the same as you Iva :)
That's really cool! :)
In Minnesota in the North we call it a sun-shower... I'm pretty sure. Haha
When its Raining while the sun is out in the south Older people say"The Devil is Beatin his Wife"
The route thing depends on the context I think. For example, "route 99"- the 'oute' would be out as in... well, out. But "take that route" over there would sound like, "take that root over there." I don't think that's because of where I'm from, that's just me. Apparently, I pronounce "data" differently than everyone else.
who live's in the south and speaks north besides me?
Me. My family speaks pretty northern like and so does everyone at my school. I don't really know anyone with a heavy southern accent.
I cannot relate because as a true southerner I speak in a southern accent
I love this! I'm from Japan and I was in North Carolina a year ago and have been learning southern accents so this one was really interesting!
Q - what do you call it when the rain falls when the sun is out:
A - a sun shower.
i'm from philly/south jersey and we all say it. does no other region use this expression?
and many of us do say wooder (water).
It's ' The devil's beating his wife.' for when the sun is out and it's rainin'
+Hunter Conrad exactly i dont know what these folks is talking about
:)
I've always called it "sprinkling"
+Car Glaze Sprinkling is light rain
The davil is beatin' his wife with a fryin' pan.
As a brit this was very interesting. I'm from the south west and there are differences in how i speak verses the rest of the country. perhaps there are other areas in the US that you can compare too?
When the sun is shining and it's raining at the same time we say in the south, "The devil is beating his wife."
"If I try to be grammatically correct, I say /'faiər/" Do you even know what grammar is?
its called "the devil is beating his wife" when raining and suns out
The second you opened your mouth, I knew you were from North Carolina. One of my co-workers is from there. Crazy how that works.
southern girl sounds like Texas, not NC
From the deep South (MS/Bama) here and we all say 'puh kahn', not pee can. All 'soda' is coke. You can have an orange coke, sprite coke, grape coke, etc. So, we ask, 'What kind of coke do you want?' Rain when the sun shines is the 'devil beating his wife'. Rainbows can happen during or after a rain and sun event. Of course, it's always 'hey y'all'. The bug is a 'roly poly'. It's New 'Orlins', unless you are from Louisiana and then it's Nawlins. You get a 'buggy' at the store. Daddy is just daddy most of the time, but I do know some that say it like 'diddy'. That's all I remember. Fun video, girls.
My granny always told me "the devils beating his wife with a frying pan" when it was sunshiny and rainy
"What do you call rain falling out of the sky while the sun is still shining?" I call it a shower too
North talks right
Y'all are wrong south talks right
+Fatclubs There's different accents in the North too. Just like the south.
"Well/But I grew up saying..." you cracked me up, when you started to laugh yourself!
I'm a native Floridian and family is from Augusta Ga. We call the fizzed drink "Coke" (if it's cola, but no matter the brand) and when it's raining with sun shining my grandma (and granddaddy) would say "the devil's beatin' his wife".
+Shannon Jones Yep, in TN we call it a coke too. As in "Hey, ya'll want a coke" and the answer is "Sure, I'll take a Dr. Pepper"
Nice! I’m from Augusta as well, Columbia county to be exact.
I was always told by my Great Grandmother that if rain was falling and the sun was shining that "the devil's beatin' his wife." (Southern)
It's commonly called a "Sunshower" in the North.
a pe-can is something you pee in when it's too cold to go to the outhouse.. LOL
I was born and raised in Texas and we say if it rains while the sun is shining it means the devil is beating his wife.
There is no right or wrong way comparing 2 accents
In the south when the sun is shining & it's raining we just say "well, look at that, the devil's beatin his wife"
Beautiful ladies! I'm a Southern boy! Love both your accents.
Jack Burton You should watch some of his videos then. Because I could clearly hear a southern accent in some of them.
when it's raining while the sun is still shining, it's "the devil beating his wife"
Technically neither are correct. The language itself came from England and they say it correct.
The English language has changed in both places since they split, and honestly I have read that American English retains more of the original pronunciation than the British did.
stop
Stop what...?
like dont say american english is wrong because thats kinda rude imho sorry if i sounded rude ;)
Sophia Seidel But most of it is wrong. A lot of the pronunciation is wrong.
I'm from Alabama and my Grandmother always said "The devil is beating his wife" when it would rain while the sun was out.
Hey just want to say that I live in California and it is totally "American" to pronounce theatre as "THEE-uh-tur." The American pronunciation as you say is not exclusively "thee-AY-tur."
+itsjanehorner Thee-AY-tur is not only more southern, it's also more rural south.
thanks for that guys :) you are very funny and the video is super informative!!
I'm from Minnesota and... I say pop
PA, soda.
Same
It bothers me so much when people say pop. 😂
I'm from the south and I say coke to reference cola's but sprite and mountain dew and stuff like that I just call by their name
growing up in the south when it would rain while the sun was shinning my granny used to say "The Devil's beatin his wife"
i’m from england and i’m loving this😂😭😭
When I was growing up I called it a "channel changer" too, since my mom did. She also called conditioner "cream rinse" and the colander was the "strainer" LOL. Bless her! :D p.s. I think the answer they were trying to get from the Southerner was "the devil's beating his wife with a frying pan"... referring to when it rains while the sun is shining :)
I call it a sun shower.
I'm from Minnesota. I just call it a remote. But my friend's mom calls it "the blipper"
You two look so much alike
When it is raining while the sun is out in the south we say "The devils beating his wife."
When it's raining and sunny the devil is beating his wife. (Born and raised in MS)
I agree I'm from AL
Same magnolia76
In Houston we call it a sunshower.
The whale vs well thing reminds me of hill vs heel
Gosh how can you be so bubbly and cheerful. Does it come from the water you drink?
I am from India where we have a million accents and some more so I dunno about the accents but I sure would love some of that vivacity . Now can both of you say 'VIVACITY' :-)
But they all sound like this: "Tank yew berrymuch for calling support of the technical. My name is Raj- Beel,. yes, my name is Beel. I american born am i, growing up in Cleveland, which is in Meechigan. How may I have the pleasure to be assisting with the broblem with which you are habing today?"
Rain when the sun is shining is called liquid sunshine. :)
10:51 I say that the Devil is beating his wife. (South)
So cute!! Loved watching you two :) Ok- I was in MD until the 6th grade when I moved to Fairfax, VA. Your 'rolly poly' = 'potato bug' and I used to say 'warsh' bc that's how my mom said it but now I say 'water' :)
the northern girl, why are you so shy ?
+ابوسعود المالكي like your mother ?
+ابوسعود المالكي yes i speak your language, and another 2 languages other than my mother tounge so dont talk trash to me
+ابوسعود المالكي no its not, your mother tongue is clearly arabic, your name is arabic, all your channel has arabic videos, you are iraqi, by the videos you're sharing i conquer you are brained washed dumb fuck.
Иван Калашников
huhhhhhhh Iraqi ? really Rusiian cuckold vodka vodka vodka
+ابوسعود المالكي yes iraqi, al malki is iraqi family, and not all russians drink you ignorant fuck.
I was raised in Washington State, and I call the carbonated beverage "pop". To me, a "soda" would be like an Italian soda or a Ginger Ale. I call the long-legged spider "Daddy Long Legs", and the insect that rolls up in a ball when you touch it is a "potato bug". To me, "fire" has two syllables. The thing that controls the TV is a "remote", and at the grocery store you use a "grocery cart" or "shopping cart".
My husband is a native Idahoan, and it drives me crazy the way he says some things. Like "drag" he pronounces "drayg" and "bag" he pronounces "bayg". He uses "drug" instead of "dragged". He also uses the word "rig" to mean ANY car, whereas to me a "rig" is only a semi. And even though we were raised in the same family, my brother says "warsh" instead of "wash", and I don't.
About the part when its raining while its still sunny, people where i come from call it the devil beating his wife.(northeastern alabama)Tho you rarely hear it being said.
Also I say aunt aunt and pecan pecahn
I've heard that too and I'm from middle Georgia
Raining and sun out, "the devil is having a fight with his wife". (southern slang) LOL
I'm from NYC and my accent is different from both girls...lol. I lived in Texas for a year and we couldn't understand each other much..lol. Personally I find the southern Accent really annoying..lol. No disrespect to you southerners. It was real fun trying to order food at a drive through too..lol! I had to order at the front counter. Only thing I miss is the warmer weather and Awesome BBQ...lol! I would hate when they asked me..U from Boston? ...lol! We sound totally different u knuckle heads!..lol.
It's called a sun shower, but she's right because when I lived in North Carolina there was a rainbow during the sun shower.
You both were wrong on the first one. It's Aunt like your mother's sister. Ant is an insect.
stop
Sophia Seidel Sorry. ;-(
im sorry too bc i probably sounded rude haha ;)
Only lofo Obama voters of color who _think_ they're smart say _Aunt_ They also say "rrra"
The rain when it's sunny is the devil beating his wife! Lol. I'm from north Florida!
0:58 "Warsh" is Ohio accent
No im from Ohio and i say wa-sh
I have a friend from Columbus and she says "Warsh to this day
Then shes not from ohio
I knew people in Texas/Oklahoma area that said warsh as well as gurage instead of garage.
My grandma said "warsh" too.. and she prayed to the "Lard". I later learned it was a specific Utah accent called Dixie, totally unrelated to the American South :)
you are very right about how the English say theatre, being English myself, but accents and pronunciations vary from north to south. im northern and I tend to not pronounce the second T .
It's called a sun shower
Hi Y'all, nice vid and compliments to Sarah, you are such a cutie! ;)
hahahaha darling all english came from UK so you did learned it but in the wrong way 😂
It's an accent. There is no "wrong way" to say it. Plus, we separated from the UK so we don't have to speak like them. We are an independent country.
Nice video guys! i am a former english student, and i wish i had a course on accents ! :-)
Boston people say "wata" not "water" ....take it from a Bostona :D
Then my mom must have lost her accent living in Maryland too long! LOL! She was born and raised in Frammingham!
***** LOL Probably! I have too to a certain extent. I was born and grew up in Haverhill but left when I was 19. But when I get to really talking it comes right back full strength! :D
Lol!
My dad was raised in Philly and pronounces it "wood-er"
I grew up in pennsylvania and moved to south carolina. And ALOT of words said and used differently. A lot more than what I feel like they covered. Like purse- pocketbook, yearbook-annual, everyone- y'all, school,court all end in house, preacher- preacher man. And what I really didn't get is that the southern girl didn't know whats called when it's raining and the sun is shining. The term is 'the devils beatin his wife.'
I say roly poly and I call them sun showers XD
I also am from Long Island New York lol
+Swag Crew we say wood louse
When it's raining while the sun is shining I call it a sun shower
And btw it's sun shower :p
When the sun comes out to shine while it's raining, it's called "Liquid Sunshine".
It means that it's going to rain the same time tomorrow.
I grew up in MS, and people always said that.
Her attitude is so annoying. I couldn't even finish the video. So obnoxious. 👎🏽
Sun shower, soda pop, sneakers/tennies, potato bug, hot dish, goulash, fritters, shopping cart, can you guess where im from? Great video!!!! By y'all
That little head turn and smile to camera the "southern" chick does is simply cringeworthy...
The raining when the sun is out in the deep south is "the devil is beatin his wife with a fryin' pan"
I don't say theatre, I say cinema
You French snob elitist
Rain and sunshine means the "Devil is beating his wife." Most southerners don't know that anymore, but that's what my grandmother always said.
It's sun shower
I've heard it called "the devil beating his wife" too.
That's what I call it too
kalloveable devil beating his wife is what I thought
kalloveable devil beating his wife is what I thought
i live in maryland and i hear both “sun shower” and “devils beatin his wife”
"Devil's beatin' his wife with a fryin' pan" is the phrase used by people deep in the south to describe when it is raining but the sun is shining.
Northern all day.
south side*
JarrelGTV Nah, just nah.
Western all day.
Midniight You from Cali or Wash?
Sactown
Here in Alabama it always rains when it is sunny, today in fact
im from Texas and I say pecan like peCAHN. my sister says peCAN I hate it
"syrup" depends on what kind of syrup. pancake syrup I pronouce sir-up. but if it's for like a snow cone or something I say seer-up
pee-Can
What is the difference between Florida and Georgia? The first sign you see in Florida says "clean restrooms". The first sign you see in Georgia says "Pecans".
The southerner is annoying but I just think that's me because I'm from the north
i'm from the north too but she is rude and how is saying theater snobby 😂😂
Is it weird if I feel like the girl on the left has a southern accent? I'm from Michigan.
Pennslyvania Swaggggg!
Answer to second to last question: "The Devil's beating his wife!"
Here's the deal about southern accents,, they are substandard and nobody who wants to get ahead uses them. BUT if you are cursed with one, it will betray you. Tired, drunk, tired and drunk, no matter where you went to school, no matter how smart you are, If you go north, IT WILL BETRAY YOU AS THE SIMPLETON YOU ARE. ONE y'all. ONE softened I in FIVE. IT WILL BETRAY YOU One "TUESDAY WEEK" let slip, (WTF?) and you are ruined.
Your class categorization of people with southern accents as 'simpletons' betray you as someone who isn't very bright. An accent is just that, an accent.
an accent that is categorized as 'simpleton'.
How rude to assume that all people with any accent have the same intelligence factor!
***** moron.
*****
and i bet you have friends that are black, too.
In Canada, when rain falls when the sun is shining, most people that I know call it a sun shower.
