I'm from Louisiana and I've heard rain while the sun is shining called "the devil whipped his wife." I never knew why and didn't question it. Haha
Lmao wtf
Yep that's right grew up always heard that
Grew up with it being called "the devil is beating his wife"
I live in south Louisiana.and she has north Louisiana accent. it depends on what part you come from but to me she sounds like she is from Alabama
Daijah Jones true
I used to fight the southern twang so hard but you can't escape it
Lol, I used to think I didn't have any southern accent even though Mom was born and raised in Alabama. Boy, Momma taught me more than I thought. I heard myself speaking in video and Alabama came out of me loud and clear....even though when I'm speaking I can't hear it.
I know you posted this 8 years ago but why fight it? As a Briton, I love it.
Yours is the most authentic north Louisiana accent I've heard on these accent tag videos. You sound 'exactly' like all the women I know from that region.
I love your accent. I'm from New York City, and I've always liked a Southern twang.
I have friends from Natchitoches. It's always funny because if you say it, most people can't spell it. If you write it down... no one can say it! The thing is... In Texas it's pronounced like it's spelled, phonetic. In Louisiana, it's pronounced Na-kuh-dish.
I'm from SE Louisiana 30 minutes south of New Orleans, and we have SO MANY different accents, she has to be from north Louisiana, b/c we don't sound like this and neither do we sound like the people in the Baton Rouge and Lafayette area. She pronouncing New Orleans different from how we "down here" say it, we say it like how she say's she doesn't say it.. Pecan is pronounced the same, down here we don't say "rolly polly" it's "doddle bug", "down here" everything is NOT coke, its soft drink.
I love your accent, the way you say again and advertisement is great, so strange to me (I live in London, UK)
Me and my wife have been watching this specific accent video for years now. Every now and then I'll think about it and we watch it. "There's no G there, it's silent 🤫". Lol. Too funny. She's hilarious and should have kept doing content
Lol. Yes! I get in trouble because I call every soda coke. That's just how we say it in Louisiana! I'm sorry! :3
Your Louisiana accent sounded great. Totally beats your Acadian ancestors you Cajuns. Cheers and thx for sharing. AHAHAHA Caramul...dayta, Pecayn... The funniest word to ask is Nuclear....Some people actually say "Nucular" lololol!
Why are apologizing? You're not "butchering" the words. Your doing an accent tag. Accent just means you pronounce certain words a certain way, not the "wrong" way. Have a little confidence in yourself.
alright son, fucking hell its just a youtube video my bru.
Billy Vallon
Well, "son"....she's a genuine Louisiana girl. Her 'southern accent' is very nice actually. (Like flowing honey and her seemingly laid back personality) This girl is actually very well spoken in fact. She 'enunciates' well (meaning you can understand her), seems pretty smart , and most likely has a lot of common sense compared to others.
Oh and a side note for everyone, I've listened to several linguists speaking one time and the way she pronounces "pecan" is actually the correct way!
There is a much nicer way to say that, thats more of an insult to her confidence
I agree, or at least somewhere in northwest Louisiana (Caddo or Bossier parish) out there with all the big tall pine trees and the red clay dirt. The whole Arklatex area has some beautiful countryside actually.
Spittin' image. You're right! It's silent!!
Rolly Polly Bug - I have been watching these videos from other countries, and I keep yelling at my screen "It's a rolly polly bug stupid!!" Hah
-Your Southern Friend from Tennessee. PS I would like Mellow Yellow as my coke please ;)
it makes me happy how you say pecan. I'm originally a Texas girl, and it's puh-kuhn
Hahaha!! I'm from Louisiana as well and I say devil is beating his wife!!!! Hahahaha!! I thought I was the only one!!
i from new orleans/ we DO say n'awlens...a roly-poly is doodle-bug...NONE of our words end in "ING" only "in" and water or quarter is wa-der and quar-da. everyone say- y'all but we don't seem to pronounce th ...so THAT becomes: DAT and THEM becomes: DEM..".going to"becomes-"gu'na"
I'm from Louisiana and das exactly wat we say wen its raining da devil beaten his wife wen i want sumthin to drank i say cold drank
Tennille Handy, cold drank lol
You sound like you might be north Louisianian or thereabouts.
When it's raining and the sun is still shining, the devil is beating his wife (learned it from my Louisiana family)
Yes, same
I grew up in Virginia and you pronounce these very much like I did. I've modified things a bit as a grew older, but I LOVE your accent, and your are so sweet. Don't lose your accent!
Dr pepper coke, fanta coke, sprite coke, coke coke and uhh..and Diet coke coke!! Haha wtf? You guys are nuts down there!! Haha
If you live in the South, YES. "Coke" is a noun here that takes the place of "soda" or "pop" in other places. Coca-cola is a type of coke. Pepsi is a type of coke. Mountain Dew is a type of coke. "Coke" is slang in the South for "soda".
"You wanna coke?" "Yeh gimme a Dr. Pepper."
And more hick people call Coca-cola "Co-cola".
I live in Alabama, so I know. I think it's a stupid slang. I say "soda". But I'm weird.
thats a north LA accent
She sound like Texas lol she definitely from north
As soon as I heard oil...we say awl lolol mota awl
I’m from the Alexandria area and she sounds similar to me. Except I think my accent might be stronger.
Rodger Brown you are right
gawd, earl, ersters, caw, Newawlins, doodle bug, tennashoes, Bawks Rootbeer, Speckle Trout, Red Snappa, Pitchashow, Thee-ada, RaC Cola, Swaggamans, Tieota, Riva, Wata, and anything that floats is a Boat.
Awesome vid! Love it. I don't think you butchered any of those words. Accents are accents and yours is awesome. Be proud. I moved from Tennessee to Florida as a child and got teased so badly that I began correcting myself. Now I sound like I'm from the Midwest lol. Working on acquiring a Virginia accent now lol
I like US southern accents a lot and I luv yours! It's like the Italian of US accents :)
I live in Louisiana and most of dont live in a swamp. So.
Of course not.I grew up in a city,New Orleans,back in the 60,s,and 70,s,friends.Merci beaucoup,mes chere amis,and God bless you.
OMG, I love this! When I came out west, I called everything soda a coke.....they thought that was so damn funny!
Wtf, that insect is called exactly the same in Swedish. Daddy longlegs = Pappa långben.
We always just called them granddaddy spiders.
Spiders are not insects
@@camilo.decaro Daddy long legs aren't spiders.
@@hilley No, but they are arachnids, and as such closely related to spiders, ticks and mites.
@@mytube001 They are probably talking about crane fly
Great idea for a youtube video. I am from Norfolk, Va and we say ya'll (is that the way it is spelled?) When I moved to Northern Va , outside of DC, I was teased terribly for saying ya'll. Go figure? My grandaddy from Alabama says, "Do you need me to CARRY you to the store?" I always thought that was funny. The best one in your vid was what you can a shopping cart- a buggy. Love it.
OMG looks like someone beat me to "The Devil's Whippin' his Wife" unfortunately! Oh well. I am born and bred Louisiana living out here in Cali the past 12 years and I still say those words every time the rain falls as the sun is shining!
LMAO 'Its been one of those days" I died laughing
Very cool. You seem comfortable talking to a web cam. lol Well done!
Fellow north Louisianan here. I've lived in Europe for the past ten years, speak Italian fluently, but I still pronounce everything the same even if my accent is a bit covered up (I teach English). However, when I come home to visit, my accent starts to creep back even on the flight.
Roly-Polies!
Christopher Parks
Some of the older folks call the little pill bugs that roll up in a ball, "doodle bugs". (Although they are not the true doodle bugs). A lot of these terms are generational sometimes.
I'm from Louisiana too. When I was young, I called the roly poly a doodlebug, but now I say a roly poly. And everyone I know from down here says, "New Awlins."
Your accent is light, breezy & easy to listen at. You are real.
Im from southeastern louisiana. About 30 miles east of baton rouge. And all the things u said are the exact ways my family and i pronounce everything. Thanks for the vid.
sunny rainy day= "devil's beatin his wife" i have no idea where my family got that but go figure lol
She's so cute lol
you crazy i wish i can demonstrate my self on youtube like you hahah
by the way speaking about louisiana you speak french too right !! i ve been in the us for almostt a year and i just found out yesterday that a part of the us speaks are francophone , i do ;)
It's nice to know that remote/clicker is called different in different regions since I always feel annoyed when I watch Hispanic TV shows where they call it "mando a distancia" and Latin speakers (at least in my country) call it "control" or "control remoto" (this one we don't use in my house at all).
You're the only American I've heard say 'soft drink'! I'm Australian and we say 'soft drink', and I've always heard Americans call it 'soda' or 'pop', never 'soft drink' so I was like YAY when you said it! XD Btw I love your accent, I've always loved the southern ones. :)
@maitretsu- I'm sorry that me not specifying my exact address has upset you so much. I was born and raised right here in Louisiana. North or South LA is irrelevant in my mind because it's still Louisiana. I would have said Cajun Accent or South of I10 Accent if that were in fact what I thought I sounded like. I feel LA Twang was adequate to distinguish that it's a country accent. But I am just as Louisiana as you are. To imply that my not being Cajun means I should have retitled my video is off
leslieelsie : Sweetie, you speak w/ a very, slight twang. Of course you are a Louisianan! But different from the various distinctive, southern Louisiana areas. You do not sound like a New Orleanian. When you said “maw’-maw”, NOLA says “m’maw”. A better was example is “card” or “heart”...pronounce each, then see if you say the rhotic or non-rhotic version. New Orleans is non- rhotic, it’s (“caw-d”, or “haw-t” with a super soft d/t, it’s just aspirated not spoken hard.)
Def'nitly Nawthin' LA. N'awlins is completely unique in a variety of ways between old locals, young locals, black folks, creole, cajun.
I serve tables and today had a table of people from northern Louisiana. Sounded just like you haha so crazy, felt like i was in the movies or something. I'm from Wisconsin btw and now live in Colorado. Both places sound pretty standard to me. Northern Louisiana accent is definitely awesome sounding haha
I am learning a lot, because I had never heard buggy nor trolley used to call the cart. In spanish it's called carreta o carrito so it's easier to remember the "cart" one.
i also had to laugh cuz i was giving the EXACT same answers that you were. And when you said buggy i was like yup, thats la for ya.
Its SO NOT a millipede completely different insect. The scientific name is a Armadillidiidae, some people call them pill bugs, some call them rollie pollie's and where I'm from we called them doddlebugs.
yep she sounds familiar, with me being from Texarkana,Texas . its very similar, of course our local tv outta Shreveport. hell on our Dish network, we cant get Texas public television we Louisiana public television , I got relatives in OIL CITY, I love our regional accents, I couldn't imagine ever moving away from this 4 states region
Hey girl, there is no need to apologize for the way you say "iron," "ruin," or any other word. As a Texan who briefly lived in New York, I often apologized because they couldn't understand me until someone told me they enjoyed my accent and told me to quit apologizing. Maybe I'm partial to Louisiana accents too because my daddy and and all of his family are from La Salle Parish...Take care!
yessssssssss..... high five my face with your snatchhhh.... accentzzzzzz gahhhh
I'm from chicago and I don't understand why many southern people are embarrassed of their accents..I think they sounds beautiful!
Commenting before I listen. I live in Lake Charles and I've lived here since I was five and love the city. However, I was born in Midland, Michigan. My mom came from Whittier, California and my Daddy was from all over the place - born in Wisconsin, moved all over, ended up in California and met my mom, moved to Midland, Michigan - had me and my sister - then we all moved to Lake Charles, LA. I was told that I don't have an accent or pretty much have a "standard American" accent. I'm sure that I slip into a bit of some type of Louisiana accent at times, though.
I used to live in Louisiana (and now I'm back) but when I was a kid I moved to Colorado. I just wanted to share some differences I ran into. In CO, they'd don't call it a bookbag (it's a backpack); they'd never heard a toilet called a comode (my grandma calls it that); instead of ponytail, they call it a hair tie; they never say "might could," y'all or "fixin to." They call tennis shoes sneakers; they call it pop/soda pop (yuck) & they say Colorado with "a" as in add. :)
when the sun is shining while it's raining my grandmama always used to say, "the devil's beating his wife again." Didn't know he had a wife, but that's what my family calls it. We are from Louisiana too.
I'm from Texas and my Paw Paw used to "sodi water" for cokes, and your right, its always coke, even though I drink Dr. Pepper, its still a coke.
Geez, we New Yorkers need to catch up on yous guys down there, up here most of us think you all sound like French rockabillys with pet gators!
I found this really amusing. You have a fun personality. Your accent actually seems rather mild. I do hope your day got better. Anyway, Cheers.
I listen to everything and I'm from Louisiana. I now live in Nevada the way we pronounced "oil" i. Louisiana was a little different than how you said it. It was more like (Awl) Everything else is exactly the same, including Coke! Here in Nevada people wondered why I call all of them Coke. Lol. Great video
hmmmmmmm now I CAN INVADE YOUR LAND WITHOUT BEING NOTICED MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH *COF COF*
i'm from lone star state and sometimes i have my own slang nobody understands cept fer me, but i always have loved creole accents! i dunno why, i just lik'em so your voice is so cool! you say carmel like me! yay!
Tulsa Ok: theater is the-ater. Tires: tar'z. Come on back: 'momback. Pie: pah. Window: win'da.
Thanks for this-using it for an audition!
You're not butchering any of those words! Gotta love a nice southern accent. Never heard of a buggy though, for the shopping cart.
I grew up on the border of texas and louisiana then moved out to oregon (of all places). man is it refreshing to hear the accent again
"Buggy corral", hahaha XD Oh man that's great
Our accent/ twang in Southwestern Virginia/Eastern Kentucky is almost exactly the same. We say buggy, and remote, even y'all. I love our accent, as you probably do too! It makes each and every one of us special, to have our own take on language. People may make fun of us, but we are still southern, and NOTHING can change that....
i say new orleans the way you say youve never heard lmao at least i dont say it like my grandpa does "new or-lee-ens"
I'm British and we say alot of the same things you say (fyi, Louisiana is the best accent ever!) but roly poly's? No way, it's cheesy bugs!!
I'm from Connecticut and we always called the bug that rolls up into a ball a potato bug.
You need to drive the buggie around the basket and get some oil. I like it sounds great very folksy.
Now yell, "Girls are the devil!" and "Foosball is the devil!"
I've lived in Louisiana's NW corner (Shreveport/Bossier City) for over 30 years now. The tell-tale words for that Ross Perot/Bill Clinton/Terry Bradshaw accent are : Tire, Ruin, Aunt and Fire-among others. Of course the Ark-la-Tex accent differs dramatically from SW Louisiana and urban new orleans, La. accents. It's pretty bad when your mom's from Baltimore and even in your late 40s you STILL talk like her, LOL! (I hear "Yew hain't wunna US!" alot. LOL)
i came here because im from louisiana and wanted to see what people’s accents sounded like
In Alabama, they say "The Devil's a-whoopin' his wife" but really it's just the same expression in a different dialect. I'm glad I"m not the only person who's ever heard this though. I was starting to think I was. No one I mentioned it to has ever heard it.
i love the way you say new orleans. you are a lovely angel
When it's raining and the sun is shining, it's the devil's beating his wife.
Coke? I've never heard that! Here it's a fizzy drink.
Lol I'm from Louisiana and your accent is exactly how we sound. I have a Valley Girl accent though.
Great accent. That's the nicest sounding twang I've heard.
@LeslieElsie I used to live in Pineville! In the entirety of the time I lived there I never picked up the Southern accent. Lol.
Good call. I was born in Shreveport but was raised in Long Beach CA. I go back to Vivian every summer though and I'd recognize that accent anywhere. It's pretty similar to the east Texas accent in areas like Beaumont.
i hear swedish,french, louisiana and really they don't sound much different by one word separaely. Its only when in context of few words or sentence you get the accent. Except when you said again. Everyone has learned english well to me.
I love your accent. I've always like the Louisiana accent though, thankfully I'm in Texas and get to hear it a lot. :)
Lol, in Louisiana we say drizziling (raining when the sun is still shining)! Odd wording..
You might also say "paper route" (i.e., "root"), as you say "Route ("root") 66".
A "rout", as you know, is some sort of one-sided contest. (e.g., "LSU defeated Nebraska in a rout, 54-13."
Or, "Nebraska was routed by LSU, 54-13."
Or, "LSU routed Nebraska by a score of 54-13."
Every major area in the US has it's own accent. I've been living in South Carolina for 10 years and can barely notice local accents anymore. I do notice an accent when I talk to a person from Flori-dah. Cajuns who live in Louisiana have a distinct accent, not found anywhere else. Have a Cajun say - "Oil". They pronounce it like - "Earl". LOL.
I used to live In Cain-sas (Kansas). They also have a distinct accent and their own way to call things. Have a person from Kansas (or the general Mid-west area) say - "Wash". They pronounce it like -"Warsh". A refrigerator is called an Ice-Box, a wallet is a billfold, a remote control is a flipper etc.
North Louisiana have more than one accent ..it's alot of us don't Kno what a twang is😕😕
Ugh I can't stand that! It just always reminds me of a bird lmao. "pee-can"
Interesting. I'm from SW La. I don't sound TOO different from her, but I don't sound quite as southern, I think. She is from a different area. My area says "basket" for buggy, but we say "coke" and New Orleans like she says it. The sun shining when it's raining? We called that "the Devil's laughing" or something. She sounds like a hint of Texas maybe. But it's nice to hear a voice from home.
You have the correct accent, finally I find a young person with a correct regional dialect!!! Yes!! You sound great! However, keep in mind, that dialect is not entirely about individual words. Dialect is mostly about rhythm, timing, inflection, tempo, and tone. Very much like music actually. Please, do not ever let some damn yankee, or the damn TV, make you think are you stupid for speaking with a regional dialect. Because that is BS! You sound beautiful!
Beautiful accent! Beautiful girl!
I'm a born and raised Baton Rougean, but both my parents are from Pennsylvania, so I never really got the twang in my voice. Otherwise, I completely agreed with your pronunciations 100%. I live in Wisconsin now, and I have to laugh when I hear people trying to say New Orleans, like New Or-LEENZ. They usually don't even know enough to try and mispronounce it as N'awlinz, for which I am grateful. And yes, it's pe-CAWN, not pe-CAN or PEE-kin! Thanks for adding your accent tag, now I don't have to:)
Gosh, the pecan "peecan" thing was a huge debate between our family from the North and from down here...
The saying for "What is it called when it is raining while the sun is shining?" is the devil is beating his wife.
I don't know why but thats what everyone 'round these parts say!. (East Texas)
That being said, it does sound nice for some people...
This lady has a rather nice-sounding accent, anyway, Southern or otherwise.
:)
Your accent is adorable. Like, it's not that different from mine (I'm from California), but that little twang is just so cute. Maybe not ALL American accents are boring. :) Lol
If it's raining when the sun is shining, the devil's beating his wife. At least that's what I've always heard...I'm from Shreveport :)
