Apparently I somehow mixed up and said "Yinz" is from Philadelphia when I meant to say it's from Pennsylvania, primarily due to it mostly being used in western cities like Pittsburg. I think I got confused on its origin when juggling Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia in my head.

best description of English I’ve heard
“English is the language that waits in alleyways waiting for other languages to walk by so it can mug them for spare prefixes”
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." -James Nicoll
English is not unique in this regard.
That'll happen when your language comes from Germany but the Romans, Scandinavians, and French take turns forcing you to speak their languages
@@zakd2124 Germanic doesn't mean from Germany whatsoever. The Proto Germanic language from which English, German, all of the Scandinavian languages and many others descended from was spoken partially where Germany is but the direct ancestors of English came mostly from modern day Denmark.
@@KatzRool (edited to be more polite) That’s not quite right; take a look at migration maps and linguistic maps. There’s a reason the closest language to English is Frisian, because the lands to the East of Frisia (which lie in modern-day Germany) are a large portion of where the English (Anglo Saxons) come from. Y’know, one of the regions being Lower Saxony, where the Saxons came from. A portion of the group came from modern-day Denmark for sure, but to assert that it’s wrong to say Germany and that I’m just assuming “Germanic” means “English comes from German” is just not an accurate assumption for you to make here.
As a part of an English class, we all took this quiz. I live in Jersey and everyone’s results reflected either Jersey or New York. I got the Sun/rain question and thought it was funny. Five months later, as I’m working at a summer camp, it starts to rain while the sun is out. Some kid from Tennessee looks up, sighs, and says “looks like the devil’s beating his wife”.
Pff
Isn't that a southwest thing? I remember watching a video about the whole meaning of it, it's fucking stupid but it makes sense
Can confirm. Tennesseean here that has used that phrase.
I was also working at a summer camp when someone from Memphis said “the devil’s beating his wife”

“What do you call a drive-through liquor store?”
A tragedy bound to happen
I call them Dairies, but that is specific to the city I grew up in which was a Drive-Thru Liquor store owned by a Dairy in my square-mile town, Hawaiian Gardens, however, I have seen some in other cities within Los Angeles County and they are also owned by Dairies but some people don’t call all of them Dairies.
We just call them Daiquiris or Drive Thru Daiquiris

Fun fact: when I was in third grade I got “colonel” wrong on a spelling test even though I knew how to spell it. But young me thought “im pretty sure it’s c-o-l-o-n-e-l, but that makes so little sense! If it turns out that I’m wrong and it isn’t spelled this way, the teacher will probably think something’s wrong with me!” I basically gaslit myself and made myself so self-conscious that I spelled it out phonetically on the test instead and got it wrong.
As a non native speaker, I'm glad natives also think it's dumb
"Kernel" is a legitimate word to describe the underlying level in operating systems.
And the skin on Corn
@@VladTerrible well, yes. Kernels are corn seeds, and an OS kernel is the base from which everything else grows.
I know someone who has the name "Karnl", guess how it's pronounced 😉
To be fair, if you were provided no definition, then "kernel" is a real word.
One of the most enlightening parts about this quiz is discovering that I do not have words for a lot of these concepts.
Quite a few of the "What do you call X?" questions I just thought '...I just call it X.'
Same here. Especially with the rain when sun is shining. I just say "it's rainy and sunny at the same time"

Same. Some liquor stores have a drive through?
@@FG-dh6pr "What do you call a liquor store with a drive through?"

Fun fact: The way you put a stress on certain words determines whether it's a noun or a verb. RECord is a written documentation of something. recORD is the action of documenting things

Cant wait for things like "the wolf is giving birth" and "the devil is beating his wife" to be reoccurring characters for Huggbee vids
Didn't realize "the devil's beating his wife" was such an unusual phrase to others. Its all I heard in KY

@@cooldude-qz1gf its just the way we say it. I assume because its so damn unusual and seemingly unnatural that the phrase used to describe it don't matter too much and must be nonsensical themselves

Tried the quiz as a German and unsurprisingly, I got most similar for California and New England. That's what happens when you learn English by watching movies and TV shows.
Interesting! As someone from Spain learning mainly through the internet, and a bit in school, I got the most compatibility with northern New York (a city called Rochester apparently?), and also some with Hawaii.
@@PhantomKING113 Huh, this is funny. I'm actually from Rochester! Not a bad place, I must say. Beware of our winters, though.
If you learned from media yes. But you will have most in common with people from the Dakota's and Alberta. There's where all the German colonies went, especially the black Sea Germans. That's why I'm here
@@KNR90 I don't think that makes it likely for someone from Germany to have a lot in common with them. Within Germany there is a lot of variation both culturally and linguistically. Back when people emigrated to America, they would mostly do so from certain areas and back then the differences within Germany were even greater, since Germany was much larger geographically.
@@Saufs0ldat yeah but a a ton of German communities moved to the Dakota's, so by definition more likely
I called sun showers "God's tinkle" once and everyone reacted so viscerally to that that I try my hardest to call it that *every* time

Yep, rain and sun is just God pissing.
“When the Devil is beating his wife” is an old saying, mostly used by older folk in the south. My family uses that saying, and it’s becoming so antiquated that I’ve never met anyone outside the family who knew the meaning off the top of their head, and I live in a fairly southern state.
My family says this 2, when it’s sunny but lightly raining
@@cet-ki I still use that phrase for this exact thing lmao
I still use this phrase except now I live in the north east so no one knows what the fuck I'm talking about and I get alot of weird looks from most of my southern colocalisims (almost positive I spelled that wrong, honestly didn't even know where to begin, smh)
I say it && im from NY but I picked it up off some southern friends during my time in the military

The whole "concept of an aunt" thing actually makes sense to me. I refer to my aunt as "ant" but when I mention her in conversation I use the "haunt" pronunciation to avoid confusion.

I'm similar, but with "mom". The concept is a mom, but my mom is Mum. Picked it up from my dad, and I guess it's kind of a Boston thing to spell it "mom" but pronounce it "mum".
Im german and can totally relate to that video. Considering that my country was completely split up for hundreds of years, we developed so many slangs and dialects that a person from northern saxony could not understand a person from bavaria or hessia...

The regionally appropriate term for "hamburgers" in Albany, New York is steamed hams.
Though phrased as "steamed", a steamed ham is typically grilled, and served on a platter often containing more than a quarter dozen of the aforementioned dish and various french fries.

I’ve had more than one strange conversation about how we call flip flops “thongs”
Apparently it’s a term for speedos
Not just any speedos, specifically those very skimpy bikinis. Partially overlaps with what is also referred to as a "G-string". From Old English þwong, þwang "narrow strip of leather" (used as a cord, band, strip, etc.). As a kind of sandal, first attested 1965; as a kind of bikini briefs, 1990.
we also use thong for the kind of underwear (g-string) to to be extra confusing down here
Or underwear with a thin back for the butt, not quite a g string
Here in Minnesota USA I grew up calling them thongs
Thong fo yo toes
I live in Oregon, and everyone around me calls the small fresh water crustacean 'crayfish'. And I'm screaming and crying and throwing up saying NO ITS 'CRAWDAD' and my family, who is from Oregon, are the onlybones in my town who say 'crawdad'.

Not so much a local dialect thing, but more an inside joke. My friends and I refer to ice cream sandwiches as "cold samuels". This came about from someone shortening sandwich to sammys, which eventually became re-lengthened to samuels. And ice cream being changed to ice cold, and then to just cold.
I like that.

As a texas native I will happily supply the knowledge that “Y’all’d’n’t’ve” is a thing here and yes, it’s as rough to get used to saying as it looks and unless your in the right areas most people don’t usually use it. There are SEVERAL other contractions like that, it’s just the longest!
Wasn't that contracting business a whole ass meme back last year or something?
I've lived in Texas all my life, never heard that.
I absolutely adore multiple contractions like y'all'd'n't've, just because they are so hilarious and nonsensical, yet also make perfect sense. Hell, I was born in and live in northeast Ohio and I use y'all. (I lived in the south for like 10% of my life, but that's the only "southernism" I use.)

@@deermasscannon7285 it does have a wonderful tendency to produce useful new words, many of these are entering english wholesale because they have no equivalent, like weltschmerz or zeitgeist, others are taking on new meanings in english, like "angst" doesn't mean "anger" in english but is specifically the brooding and anti-social behavior of chronically angry people, or some are more technical like the English Literature term for "coming of age novel" is literally just bildungsroman. german is really cool sometimes because it will just go make a word for something that is hard to talk about at all.
@@Suiseisexy or it has words that are in English that mean something really different in German. Like the most common example is the word Gift. Gift means present in English but in German it’s poison.
In my hometown, we call roundabouts "spinwops", cabbage is "leaf apples", and cell phones "the rectangle". Thought we had normal words for things until I moved out.

@@TheScience69 that’s so interesting… “the rectangle” really gets me, it’s so strange and literal
Heck, I live in the states and I call my phone a "rectangle". Largely because I've long hated the things, and when I finally got one a few years back, I called it an "alien space rectangle". They're just so esoteric and doopy compared to less limited computational systems.

There is a theoretical language called Anglish which removes all non-germanic influences from english and replaces all of the lost words with germanic equivalents. It makes a lot more sense than our actual language
it is certainly more Germanic. It doesn't necessarily make more sense. If English didn't make sense, we wouldn't be able to understand each other. Since we obviously can communicate, English makes sense.

@@sakamotosan1887 How I was going to describe u...
Literally just read my name. 🤦🏻♂️
I dunno. English has been simplified to large extents by its constant clashes with, and suppression by, other languages. Likely the closest existing language to what you propose is Frisian. The Frisians, Anglos and Saxons were all neighbors speaking similar languages, and all three groups contributed significantly to the migration to Britain. The Saxon language developed into modern Low German, which has been heavily influenced by High German and other neighboring languages. Most of Jutland including Anglia switched to speaking Danish for a while before switching back to Low German. So the Frisian languages are pretty much all that's left of that language family in that area.
@@modulusshift no it has not been simplified. It has been overcomplicated by a lot. And I am not proposing this language. It already exists. Look it up.
In my area (central Pennsylvania) we speak with a strange hybrid of Canada-Philadephia. Here is a brief lexicon:
"Hobott" - "Hey bud", a greeting
"Oh char" - "Yes", supposed to be "Oh Sure"

Here's one I know of: In a lot of the more suburban and rural parts of Canada (Nova Scotia I'm most sure of since it's where I grew up), people call cigarettes "darts". This kind of makes sense, since some people hold cigarettes in the same way they hold actual darts, between their thumb and pointer finger, but from doing a bit of research, the term actually originates from Australia. This makes it even more confusing as to why a lot of Australians (to my knowledge at least) call cigarettes "durries". This term is thought to derive from the brand name Bill Durnham, which was a popular brand of loose tobacco used for roll-your-owns. Durnham then got shortened to durry because...Australian colloquialism nonsense.
Yeah, everyone use to call them darts years ago but then everyone started calling them durries, it just changed with the generation. Tbf tho, saying durries sounds so much better in an Australian accent, and also it confuses the fuck out of foreigners as well.
Aussie slang is weird, and I love it, especially nicknames that wind up being shit like Bazza, just a great system
Newfoundland calls them darts in some parts as well.
I’m from BC and they get called darts all the time here too
I'm American but call cigarettes darts because of the show letterkenny. At work when it's break time me and my friend will say "I'd have a dart" just like Wayne in letterkenny.

16:12 thank you, finally someone who knows what a freaking baguette is. Not every long dry loaf of bread is a baguette, those loaves all have their own names, a baguette is usually the longest, thinnest loaf you can find in whatever area you're in, it's more like an extra long breadstick than a loaf if you want to think of it that way, they can be four feet long and still narrow enough to wrap your hands around. My French teacher was adamant about not referring to every random long bread as a baguette, she had a poster on the wall of a man riding his bike with six foot long baguettes hanging off the back and would point it out to us when learning food names to show us what real baguettes look like since no one even makes real ones around here.

I distinctly remember a time I went to Edinburgh to visit my family and while walking around the city I heard two people talking behind me and couldn't make out what they were saying. At first I thought they were speaking Korean but then I started to pick out sounds and words I recognized, it was then that I realized they were speaking English; they were speaking in such a deep Scottish accent that it took me a minute to realize it was actually English.
Fun fact, Scots is it's own recognised language. So when you don't understand us, you can use that as a valid excuse.
@@DrewPeabaws Given how it's been two or three years and I still remember the shock of realizing that they weren't speaking Korean I'm not surprised Scots is its own language.
I've always been able to understand a good 90% of what a Scottish person is saying. I found out later on my family came over from there and we live in an area that is primarily settled by Scottish folks. Even after my family being here 250 years there are still a lot of Scottish things my family still says.

I'm from Yorkshire over in England and we've got almost our own language. For one, we skip over about 54% of consonants when talking so words like "shouldn't" become "shun'" and "c*nt" sounds the same as "couldn't". Thanks to the Vikings we've got weird dialect-specific words and phrases like "yat" for "gate", and "addle some brass" meaning to "earn some money". We still use "thee" and "thou" but pronounce it as "thi" and "tha" (or "di" and "da" in some Sheffield speakers). We've got "owt" and "nowt" for "anything" and "nothing". Alleys between houses can be "jennels", "ginnels" or in the city of York they are "snickleways". Once, BBC Radio Sheffield localised the title of the song "I think I found myself a cheerleader" to "I think I found mysen a cheerleader". In general across the country, civil wars have been fought about whether to call a certain type of bread a bun, cob, bap, barm, barmcake, roll, breadcake or some other niche regional term. Sadly folks are using the dialect less and less over time and instead speaking standard British English with a bit of an accent but we still have a legacy of dialect poetry and literature.
The Yorkshire Motto, for those that can decipher it:
'ear all, see all, say now;
Ety all, sup all, pay nowt;

i think it’s something like:
‘Hear all, see all, say now;

I've never seen one comment represent one region so hard in a damn flood of comments from the US lol
I'm from Lancashire and I never get tired seeing some of the similarities and differences. Like we use owt and nowt, shun' and cun'. and then there's regional specific greetings like "reet cha?" meaning "are you alright mate?"
And then there's similarities to some of the slang seen on the quiz like for addressing a group of people, I'd say "you guys" "you lot" and "youse" which sounds more like "yiz" which has a bit of a crossover with the Scotts. And I was surprised to see "sarney" for a sub/baguette/roll sandwich, considering that's some staple Liverpudlian right there, which I can only assume was taken over because of the Irish link that both America and Liverpool share?
I love all the different phrases for sunshowers. I've always known them as "the devil is beating his wife" in English and "the devil's daughter is getting married" in Spanish. In France they say "the devil is beating his wife and marrying his daughter." In a lot of different languages it's something to do with different animals either giving birth or getting married. The most unique one I could find is that in Haiti they say "A zombie is beating his wife for salty food." It is pretty odd though that all across the world there is a consistent theme of either demons or animals having some sort of romantic interaction.
I'm from California and there's no term here. I wonder if they have one in Hawaii because it rains during sunny days so much their license plate is a rainbow.
I literally call it exactly what the question says, and I have never seen ANY of these
I grew up in Illinois, and the only two terms I heard were "the devil beating his wife" and a "Florida shower"

Southern US here, people vastly oversimplify the coke vs soda thing here. Like if you went into a restaurant and asked for a coke they'd give you a coke, not ask you what kind. It's way more contextual I guess. Its really hard to articulate, everyone kind of just gets it down here.
Actually the whole general concept of an aunt thing from the video is the perfect way to describe it.
The general concept of a nonspecific soda is Coke here, but if you are directly talking about an orange soda and call it a coke someone will probably ask if you are color blind.
"The wolf is giving birth" hit me like a ton of bricks and I cant stop laughing
Exact same here

I've questioned the English language ever since I was a kid. My mom has told me that when I was little she taught me how to say the word knight, and I said it with a k-sound because why else would it be there? But then mom reminded me of the existence of silent letters with another example being knife (which I never pronounced the same way as knight), and I begrudgingly agreed with her (but I didn't like it).
The "k" in "knight" used to be pronounced, but then English people stopped, but kept the spelling the same.
I say 'Knife' as 'Kin-Ee-fay' purely out of true spite
Just say kni-git, it has always worked for me
Funny thing is, the "K" in Knife used to be pronounced a long time ago.
Well aren't you special.
People sure do get inventive with ways to explain rain when the sun's out, it seems. In my country we speak Spanish and we say the equivalent of "a witch is getting married". Glad to see we're not the only weird ones!
I've heard "the devil is beating his wife" when it rains with the fun out
@@dontworry4945 Yeah, the video mentioned that.
I've never talked or heard about rain while the sun is out
Other Spanish one: "when cheaters pay"
@@MeesterTweester Yeah, I get weirded out by a lot of sayings people have for things that don't need a name beyond their already simple description.
There are multiple different names for a small flowing body of water where I live. If it's very small and directly behind a house it's a leak, if it's a little bigger it's a crick, further out and larger is a creek, and anything in the middle of a creek and a river is just "the water"
You know what makes calling soda coke even better, I’ve heard more than once they ask “hey can you get me a coke” “sure what do you want” “can you get me a mnt dew”
if i ever hear someone unironically say "the devil is beating his wife" while its sunny and raining i will probably breakdown laughing and they will be very concerned.

I was talking to some college friends from Iowa, and I mentioned "punch buggy", AKA the act of punching someone when you see a Volkswagen Beetle. They said they call it "slug bug". My immediate gut feeling was "that's dumb" because it was new to me, but the moment I thought about it for a half a second, I realized that "slug bug" is a vastly superior term.
Is, "PT Cruiser, punch a loser," a thing where you're from as well or was it just the punch buggy/slug bug?
Ok so my family plays a game with this, we will keep score of how many slug bugs, “Harley’s”(any motorbike), yellow and pink cars. The Volkswagen, motorbike and yellows car are all worth one point, a yellow box truck is 2 points and a yellow semi is 3 pink cars are all 5 points.
I've heard of both of these, along with the yellow car thing. Here in the States, it was more bc there were hardly any yellow cars running around. Another I was raised with is "Popeye" which is a car with a headlight out. I simultaneously love and hate language. Dammit, Bobby. Edit: Or, is it Damnit or Damn it..?
isnt punch buggy from the simpsons, im pretty sure thats where i heard that from
We call it slug bug in the Pacific Northwest too
Since languages are fluid, I will from now on spell it "Terradactyl". If enough people do this it will become permanent.
But the silent p joke will be no more
This is the only valid reason i could think of for pterodactyl to have the letter p in it
Same thing ppl do with saying "are" instead of "our". Everyone jus says it like it is normal.

This reminds me how the English speakers became so sarcastic changed the definition of the word chef, even speech-to-text refuses to recognize it, but you can either read something and be chuffed or you can read something and be chuffed, oh now it recognizes it. I am not even kidding either, one is a good, the other is bad, can you tell if I am stressed or chest. Oh wow look at this speech-to-text is breaking down at the absolute shenanigan BS going on with is this language that I can speak fluently. Also even if two words have meaning that is literally interchangeable you can still get the answer that you selected to be wrong because of the connotation, the car is blank but here are your options : old, antique. Depending on which one of these you will either get it right or wrong, I do not know which one is, go nuts.

I've lived in Georgia my entire life, and I have never understood the "southern people call all soft drinks Coke" thing. I don't know a single person who does that. It definitely feels like something we'd do, with Coke being headquartered in Atlanta and all, but I've never actually experienced it. I have no idea if this is more common in other southern states and we're just the odd ones out or if it's more of a rural thing. I'm about 80% sure that if you call Pepsi "Coke" here, everyone in a three mile radius will start hunting you for sport.
Being from florida i've only ever heard one person say coke everyone else says soda or popb
I’m from Tennessee and i also never heard anyone call anything other than cocacola a coke
I’m from Virginia and most people here just call it soda, I’ve heard a few people say pop or soda-pop, never coke
As a floridian I've only ever known one person that did that and she wasn't even from Florida, she was from Minnesota
I'm not American but we have a province in Canada that's very similar to this adequately named Newfoundland I swear it's funny
Okay, so the "carbonated beverage" question hits home. I call it soda, like a normal person from Oregon (yes I'ma wear that's an oxymoron), but my mom, who is also from Oregon, always calls everything "pop" and I take it personally

I'm Canadian, and apparently a hooded sweater, which I would call a "hoody" is often called a "bunny hug" in other parts of Canada. That one is also very internet searchable.
Also Canadian. Once I went to Florida to visit family. It was winter, but although Florida doesn't get snow, the weather still gets nasty. One day, it was pretty windy, and I didn't pack a coat on the trip because I figured it'd be warm. And the relative who I was visiting asked me if I packed a "windbreaker." My 12-year-old brain went like "isn't that what you call someone who farts?" I've never heard that term before. Probably a non-Canadian term.
@@Diriector_Doc funny actually, windbreaker is common I think, here on the east coast! But Canada probably has about as much variation as the US

The wacky terminology for a sunshower doesn't end at the English language appearantly. In Spanish, my cuban family always calls a sunshower "the witch is getting married today". I had no clue that there was never a common consensus as to what to call this phenomenon, and I was almost expecting to see a translated version of what my family calls it in the list.
That definitely needs to be added to the album!

“Oh bless your heart” Sounds nice to hear, but it actually means the person who said it to you thinks you’re slow/stupid.
Not always, but yes, it can mean that. It can also be used as a way to talk badly about somebody.
"Bless her heart, but she really can't cook well at all."
Sometimes someone might say it genuinely, like “Becky’s husband passed yesterday,’ ‘oh bless her heart’” is how I’ve heard it before
@@beelzemobabbity that's the only exception to the rule
as a southern woman i can say that it doesnt always mean that -- its meant in a genuine way and only assholes have ruined that.

As someone who knows some French I can confirm that Huggbees’s pronunciation of “quatre” is 100% correct
as another french speaker I can confirm that quatre is 100% correct
You're French so that means it's wrong
As a fellow French speaking person I can confirm it is definitely correct
as a romanian speaker, specifically for the last one my grandma instilled in me, essentially, “the sun is smiling with its teeth”, or just “sun with teeth” in shorthand. i always imagined it as a sort of bitter, vindictive smile, like it’s grinning out of spite because it hates you and wants you to suffer.
Sounds about right for nature
Sounds like soul eater sun
Hey I really love this and picturing a kid thinking of the sun with a vindictive smile makes me laugh, so thank you for sharing

Here in Puerto Rico (A U.S. Territory that mostly speaks Spanish but where we are also taught English in School and most of us are Bilingual), when it's raining when the sun is shining, we say "Las Brujas se estan casando", which directly translates into English as " The Witches are getting married".
Good for the witches
Esta lloviendo a la vrg wey
Devil beating his wife is what we've always called it.
Always wondered what las brujas meant, good band
I'm Dominican and I also heard that, witches getting married is so cute compared to the devil beating his wife 😭
My father taught me to say “The devil’s beating his wife” when it rains and it’s sunny out. We’re from Missouri but his parents who likely taught him that are from Indiana.
Also you should check out specifically MidWestern slang and dialect. We all talk like insane people because it’s a mix of all the North American dialects in a big melting pot.
Some one called it a devil's wedding when I was a kid and it always stuck with me. Now it's not even specifically on the list smh

As a Georgian the "coke" thing is something I have literally only ever heard mentioned by people who are not southerners. It is so fucking bizarre to me but there has to be evidence to it. It's supposedly a really old dialect because Coke was invented in Atlanta by John Pemberton. As it spread throughout the south it became everyone's first reference for the new soft drink industry and thus sodas became cokes. This dialect is, however- at least where I am from, so archaic and old that I have never heard anyone refer to soda in general as cokes. Not even my Great Grandmother said this, and she was born the year the Depression began.
I almost don't believe it. ALMOST.
in alabama we say it a lot
I grew up in Alabama and now live in Mississippi and not once have I ever met a person who did this. Really weird to me how the perception from outside the south is that it's normal here. Nowhere have I asked for a coke and been asked what kind I want.
as an also georgian i say cokes
When I was in Texas I heard people refer to soft drinks as coke. Its use probably isn't as consistent as people think. I live in PA and I know people that say Pop and people that say Soda, and people that say yinz.
My dad and his entire family (Tennessee) have referred to every soda pop as "coke" throughout my entire life lol
So far I've only lived in utah and Washington, EASTERN washington. Rain is a thing only for spring, plus summer and fall storms. We don't have a word for this because I in my 17 years have only seen this twice. We're just like "holy crap its raining but the sun's still out? I forgot that that's possible!" And then its over.
Part of the reason why its so rare in utah is because you dont have a horizon, you just have the mountains, so if theres a cloud above, it takes up the rest of the sky almost always.
For the curious- the french word “quatre” he mentioned is pronounced like “kat-ruh” (not “kwat-ray” as he said), hence the cat-a-corner or whatever that corner shit was
It's also more like KAT-ruh with the "kat" being accented a lot more than the ruh part
He probably pronounced it that way because we're used to seeing and hearing a lot more mexican Spanish here.
Kept getting distracted by the fact that his headphones got partially cut off by the Greenscreen and looks like it’s just connected to his ear

When I lived in Africa, specifically Dar es Salaam they used to call sneakers ‘takies’ . I’m not sure of the exact spelling but I think that’s close enough. Also now living in the Caribbean, specifically Antigua I have come to learn every island has a unique dialect which is a variant of the language the original group of colonizers used. Where I lived the dialect is creatively called ‘dialect’
I will now list some of the words
Mom-Mooma
Dad-Poopa
Hit-Nock um
Break/hit specifically used with body parts- Buss up
Girl-Gyal
Boy- Boy
General exclamation of excitement or surprise- Murah or Murder (depending on exactly how local you are)
On/upon- Pan
Move-go so
Child-pickney
I think it’s very interesting how the original African languages that was brought over by the slaves has blended together with the languages of the colonizers.
I visited Antigua for a vacation 2 years back and it is beautiful there and the people are amazing. I did get a little confused when I had to shop though due to the prices being so differently marked than in America.
I feel like I was able to read those pretty well in the accent.
I really like nock um, and i think i might have heard murah before and thought it meant fuck or something

"Thrall-ish" is the best translation for the word Träligt that I can come up with. It's a word in the Närke dialect, spoken by around 150k people in one of the more hick parts of Sweden.

I'm sure there were many times you were "corrected" by native speakers when you were the one who was actually "correct" (and by that, I mean that your way was either more logical or more traditional). There are so many possible pronunciations, but people don't like to let others speak differently. I think it's because it makes them subconsciously worry that they themselves might be wrong, so they try to change others' pronunciations to their own, as some sort of justification.
