Re: random bread question

me: "what do you call the last pieces on a loaf of bread?"him: "the heel"
me: "really?"
him: "yeah, that's what it's called - look it up...is this a lisa quiz?"
(i've talked about your awesome random polls before, and how you should write a book of them. glad to see MH was listening

are you sure they aren't saying "heel" w/a Canadian accent?

LOL! That's not like any Canadian accent I've ever heard. When we don't have that generic North America, we tend to draw out vowel sounds (think like the Scots or Irish do). I'll cop to elongating my o-u sounds, but a short "i" to long "e"? I'm going to say that's more like Andrea's crazy family.

LOL
I voted for "end". I didn't know there were all these names for it!
Bahahaha I'm getting a reputation!
Yes! Yes! The o's and the u's are always more pronounced and drawn out...I love having them around and hearing that old familiar accent. I used to have it too, but I've been down in the South long enough and it's gone. Alyson, do you guys also say "chesterfield" for couch, "serviette" for napkin, and "touque" for stocking cap? Hahaha!
I'm thinking "heel" might be how a Southerner would pronounce "hill" down here in Oklahoma. They also call oil "ohhl" and say bumpkin things like "used-ta-could." Example: Y'all remember when we used-ta-could go to the movie for a couple dollars?
