I always found it funny when the weather anchors are training here and they are from up north and they try to pronounce the names. Yet, I didn't know how to pronounce half of them. I haven't even heard of some of them.
This can’t be real. Have y’all really never heard the day the squirrel went berserk? I mean, you can’t be southern if you don’t know that song. If you know that song then Pascagoula is a given.
The founders of D’Lo were reported to have scouted the land and remarked, “This place is too damn low.” The apostrophe was so it could be said amongst the general public.
I live in Magnolia, MS. Probably the second easiest town (behind Jackson) in the state to pronounce. Y’all should do one where Mississippians pronounce names in other states. That would be entertaining.
please don't stop making these. No matter what kind of day I'm having these always always make me laugh and just put me in the best mood. You all is the best! :)
Coila is pronounced "koh-eye-luh" ("kwy-luh" said fast) by the Choctaw people it comes from. But my Southern friends usually say their "eye" like "uh", so... I could see it going that way.
Great job!! 🤗😉😆😆🤪 I'm from Mississippi and I wish I could submit some names for you to try. I love near D'Lo and it's always been a fun place just to say. Thanks for doing round two of Mississippi. We've got so many interesting places with do many interesting names. Thanks again!!!
Wow ok lol can’t say most of them. From ocean spring, but bruh only ones I could say were the ones near me, but come down to the coast. We got plenty of casinos to gamble at. We got ugly water tho. The big cargo ships kick up the sand and it’s made the water all brown.
I'm from Mississippi and I only missed 2, this is absolutely hilarious we travel alot in state, the D'lo one was particularly funny to me I mean I assumed everyone knew these
My mama was born in West Point, MS. Yep, so much family from that area. I just ❤️ MS. Y'all should do a skit on social classes dressed up as middle schoolers.
Try these: Toccopola, Pontotoc, Biloxi, Tunica, Bogue Chitto, Saltillo, Coahoma, Escatawpa, Iuka, or Saucier. And don’t even try some of the county names! 😃
I live in Iuka and I can’t call any customer service number without them saying Luka. I literally had to tell someone that what they are looking at is a capital I and not a lowercase L. For anyone interested, it’s pronounced Eye-you-ka.
Oh wow I've lived in MS all my life and have never heard of half of those. Still pronounced all but 1 right! Unfortunately, it wasn't Learned... I was hoping I was wrong on that one!!
From Pelahatchie here...means crooked creek..Leann Rimes song Nothin Better To Do references our small town...so accurate nothin better to do here...went to California with m softball shirt on and they had no idea 😂
don't feel bad, I grew up and live in Mississippi and I didn't know most of them, most of the odd place names I'm familiar with are within an hour or two of me.
There used to be a bridge what was about 1.5 inches to short to drive trucks under. Fortunately there was a gas station on either side where truckers could let the air out if their tires and just squeeze under. The would refill the tires on the other side complaining the whole time that the bridge was to Damn Low. A town gree up around the area since the truckers had to stop anyway there were some shops and restaurants. In homage to the bridge being to damn low the city was named D'Lo.
D'Lo got it's town name from being a town where the Strong River commonly flooded in the area and the water was "too d*** low" and they shortened the name to D'LO
We have a Tishomingo in OK. It is now Blake Shelton’s home. He has one of his Ole Red Bar & Grill there🤠It is also the County seat for Johnston County where he pays Property Tax for THAT PROPERTY that he & Gwen have used as a place to getaway from the crowds for privacy? He also has Lakefront Property on Lake Texoma in Marshall County. Tishomingo is home to the Chickasaw Nation. Named after what I think was a Chief Tishomingo? We share names of towns, counties & streets sometimes bcoz that was their Original Home before they were forced out in the Trail of Tears😢
Mississippian here. Ya'll got my town's name right, thank goodness, so I forgive you for the mess you made of Mississippi town names last time, Now, I am Not from D'Lo but I can tell you that the town name comes from a French term meaning "bad water" (de l'eau no potable).
zzydny I always heard that D’Lo came from when the founders of the area remarked “This place is too damn low to be good for anything.” The name stuck, the apostrophe was so the name could be said in mixed company.
My dad gets his hair cut in Sebastopol. Funny thing is, two of my grandkids and their mom used to live in Sebastopol, CA. It's such an odd name it had never occurred to me that there might be another one someplace out there. If I remember correctly, both towns were named after the same Polish explorer. So crazy that after having lived my entire life in MS that I'd end up going to both towns many times. They're both about the same size, btw. 😊✌️
Now try Saucier and Gautier. Most of these folks don’t realize the pronunciation comes from the melting pot of cultures and languages we have, not a lack of intelligence. Sincerely, A MS resident with a 140 IQ
Way I heard it, D’Lo was named because of its topography. Railroad workers revered to it as “ that damned low spot” when speaking to each other, but when in mixed company the left out the swear.
When i think of Pascagoula, I automatically think of Mississippi Squirrel Revival by Ray Stevens! That's how I knew how to pronounce it.
Ray Stevens is awesome.
Thank you. I thought everyone would get that one right.
The First Self-Righteous Church!
Ashley Key Yes!! The day the squirrel went berserk in the First Self-Righteous Church in that sleepy little town of Pascagoula!
That's what I thought too
D’Lo gets its name from the river that passes thru. Which according to the locals at the time, was too “Damn low”.
d’lo means water in Creole
It might actually be of French origin. Truth is no one knows where the name came from.
The River that passes through D’Lo is the Strong River.
yeah, but it's said D'Lo De-low just like D'wayne is De-wayne
From Mississippi, can't say half the names myself lol
I don't think anyone can pronounce Mississippi names the first try lol.
I was just saying this. I only got half right and it’s because I heard of them before lol
I’m from Mississippi too and I could only pronounce the ones I heard before and like one or two others
For real
Same
D'Lo is a *very* shortened form of the French "De l'eau non potable" which refers to the water being undrinkable because of tannins.
I always found it funny when the weather anchors are training here and they are from up north and they try to pronounce the names. Yet, I didn't know how to pronounce half of them. I haven't even heard of some of them.
Born and raised Mississippian here! Great job on the names. I only knew 2.
I have found your channel a couple of days ago and i cant get enough. Finally a channel that has a nice humour about the south.
Heyooo from Mississippi....I still can’t pronounce any signs while I’m on the road. 😂
This can’t be real. Have y’all really never heard the day the squirrel went berserk? I mean, you can’t be southern if you don’t know that song. If you know that song then Pascagoula is a given.
Becky Roberts I had the exact same thought! I saw the name and immediately thought of “that sleepy little town of Pascagoula”!
Becky Roberts my thoughts exactly!
Love me some Ray!!!
LOL seriously 😂
I'm from Mississippi and I struggled on some of them. I'm surprised Gautier didn't make the list tho.
I think it was on the 1st attempt...
@@AerCloud Yeah I watched the other one and it was on it. It was the second town.
Yes I’m from Gauiter
@@justinormon3504 guhLoo-ther?
I’m From Gautier lol
Love the Pokémon reference, picayune, use mean look! 😂
Picayune is a dark type XD
Solstice Soldier agreed
i’m from picayune mississippi🤣
The founders of D’Lo were reported to have scouted the land and remarked, “This place is too damn low.” The apostrophe was so it could be said amongst the general public.
There’s also nothing in D’Lo
That’s not where it comes from. It comes from French the same way towns like “delisle” are “d’” is a French prefix that means “of/from”.
I'm actually from Mississippi, your last Mississippi video was hilarious
Cayla J I live in one of the first towns and all of this broke me 😂
I live in Magnolia, MS. Probably the second easiest town (behind Jackson) in the state to pronounce. Y’all should do one where Mississippians pronounce names in other states. That would be entertaining.
Hey fellow Pike county, Chatawa, here Bruce Williams, Hello.
I'm from Tupelo and I pretty much got all of these right on the first try.
These cooyons would probably pronounce it “Maganoleeah” or something similar
Where I'm from in Mississippi we pronounce Yocona as Yock-nee.
Yock-nee is what I have heard as well.
I've never heard that before
Yocona, as In yahk-nee.. I live about 30 minutes from there... At least the river is pronounced yahk- nee
I live just across the holler from yock-nee!
My grandparents say Yock-nee but most people my age say Yock-na
please don't stop making these. No matter what kind of day I'm having these always always make me laugh and just put me in the best mood. You all is the best! :)
Mississippi....you’ve been on my mind. Like a mist in the morning from some dream I left behind.
Commenting from Chunky, Mississippi. You guys are great.
Learned reminds me, we have a school called Rebul Academy. Rebul stands for
Raymond

Bolton
Utica

Thanks again!!!
They didn't even attempt to pronounce Kosciusko, Ms. Now that would have been impressive.
They did that one on part 1
Incorrect. Kozy-s-ko is the correct pronunciation.
Or ka-zee-es-co
I live outside of Kosciusko and was cracking up when they tripped it.
Cah- zee- es- co
Wier is just 5 miles east of West. Right up the road from kosciusko.
Yokena is pronounced the same way as Yocona, but they are 2 different places. Yokena is more like a community just south of Vicksburg
When everything was looking good my southern folks used to say that's plum hunky dory, anybody remember that one?
I used to live near Chalybeate. Pronounced kalee-bit.
Last time I was this early the cookies were still in grandmas sewing kit
Zorro Dog Studios gold
I don't usually like "first" comments but this was funny!
Devo Davis tbh I don't either
I went to school in a town called Chalybeate, MS :)
We have a Tishomingo here in Oklahoma, too.
One of the best steakhouses in Mississippi is also in Learned! People travel all over to go to it. It's called H. D. Gibbes and Sons
Three of the best steak houses in America is in Mississippi. Gibbes, Does, and Marshals.
People say Como,MS has a good steakhouse.
As a person from Mississippi I think she was lying when she said Jackson is a great place to visit
It is if you don't value your life
@@russellresshaven4672 for real
Know where to go and where not to go and that’s in any city
“Stares you down real mean” that could be either Leer, Glare, Mean Look or Scary Face
Its a dark type
Neerrrrrdddd
Wow ok lol can’t say most of them. From ocean spring, but bruh only ones I could say were the ones near me, but come down to the coast. We got plenty of casinos to gamble at. We got ugly water tho. The big cargo ships kick up the sand and it’s made the water all brown.
The barrier islands don’t help with the dilution as well. But the second you get on the other side of ship island it’s nice and blue.
It’s not really the boats, it’s the water coming from the Mississippi river. When too much water from the river comes, oysters can’t grow as much.
As a Mississippian, we will accept a lot more of these pronunciations than yall will. Yall playin on hard mode.
I'm from Mississippi and I only missed 2, this is absolutely hilarious we travel alot in state, the D'lo one was particularly funny to me I mean I assumed everyone knew these
I lived in Burnsville, MS, which is in Tishomingo County. North East Mississippi is God's Country. The best people you could ever meet :)
Absolutely right! Tishomingo County is the best place. Love it here!
My mama was born in West Point, MS. Yep, so much family from that area. I just ❤️ MS. Y'all should do a skit on social classes dressed up as middle schoolers.
all i know is that d’lo has a water park! and some of these were easy but that’s because i live in mississippi!
There’s a place in Knoxville Tennessee called Pellissippi and I can never spell it because I don’t know how to spell Mississippi
Calli is such a doll ...... I missed her ✌️
That was almost as painful as watching Eric Roberts mispronounce Biloxi, while having, himself, been born there, hah.
Try Pelahatchie, Kosciusko, Shuqualak, Escatawpa, Gautier, Sacier, Byhalia, & Inverness.
I don’t know if it shows but it has “translate to English” under the comment 😂
I live here and I've only heard of 4 of these cities lol.
Try these: Toccopola, Pontotoc, Biloxi, Tunica, Bogue Chitto, Saltillo, Coahoma, Escatawpa, Iuka, or Saucier. And don’t even try some of the county names! 😃
I live in Iuka and I can’t call any customer service number without them saying Luka. I literally had to tell someone that what they are looking at is a capital I and not a lowercase L. For anyone interested, it’s pronounced Eye-you-ka.
Oh wow I've lived in MS all my life and have never heard of half of those. Still pronounced all but 1 right! Unfortunately, it wasn't Learned... I was hoping I was wrong on that one!!
Lived in weir for a while... y’all should try Eupora next time
Jenny Howdy We go through Eupora to go down to my grandparents’ house. They live in Vaiden!
Choctaw County in the house! McCool
How about that cute little town next to Tishomingo, Iuka Mississippi
In elementary school that little jingle of M I humpback humpback I etc. is how I learned how to spell Mississippi.
Yay more town names
Commenting from Mendenhall, MS, one town over from D’Lo in Simpson county 🤟
From Pelahatchie here...means crooked creek..Leann Rimes song Nothin Better To Do references our small town...so accurate nothin better to do here...went to California with m softball shirt on and they had no idea 😂

In New Hampshire we have a Weare, NH as well as a Weirs Beach, NH.

Y'all did better then me, Love y'all
Last time I was this early eve hadn't ate the apple
I'm from Mississippi and I can't lie, some of these names I haven't heard of lol. I was really hoping to see Biloxi or even Yazoo come up
I live in Scott county Mississippi
You lost me at "jackson is a great place to visit"
Of COURSE Mississippi says Learn-ned
It seems you are not a very learned person.
This is one of the best videos😂
don't feel bad, I grew up and live in Mississippi and I didn't know most of them, most of the odd place names I'm familiar with are within an hour or two of me.
I'm from Pascagoula,Ms. You should try some of the river names. Alot of Native American names, as is Pascagoula
I see your town names and I raise y’all a Tchoutacabouffa River.
I thought everyone knew how to say picayune....guess I only knew it bc my grandmother grew up in Mississippi
I live in clinton Mississippi but I mean our town name is WAY to easy to pronounce
lemons & leos hello fellow Clintoner!!
Same with Pearl😅😅
I love the GPS when it’s try’s to say Lucedale

The picayune Picachu cracked me up.
Born and raised in Hattiesburg Mississippi!!
damn, even my dad can't say Picayune right and he grew up there, he says it like 'Picky-yune'
Cuz some people pronounce it that way. Some people say pick a yune. Depends on what part of town they grew up in I suppose.
"You are so learned, papa Homer"
Try Sebastopol Ms

That one chick saying Pascagoula sounds like a fun place to be on spring break...sorry, hun...
I'm from Mississippi. I got like 20%. MS stupid, y'all!

Fiddle, griddle, middle... all good "d-l" combo words.
Learned; that is the pronunciation that you would use as and adjective to describe a person that is well educated.
I saw this, I was waiting. I’m from carriere...and my mama grew up in picayune (which is basically just town🤣)
I live in Brandon Mississippi.. easy to pronounce I guess, I love these Mississippi videos
I hate when people say
Bentonia (Ben-tone-ya)as Bent-own-e-a
Belzoni (bell-zone-ah) as bell-z-on-e
D'lo, as In D'lo Brown, the WWF wrestler...
That’s who I think of when I think of the town name.
There is also a Lodi,MS and it reminds me of a wrestler called Lodi.

Yeehaw!!! My home state!!!
i live between rienzi and Tishomingo and I instantly said both of them. 😂
Y’all need to come to Natchez!! Natchez, MS that is😂

How about Noxapater!
Hopoca is the name of a community and road in Leake County. How is the name Hopoca pronounced?
