Xavier said like "Igxavier." Actually met a guy named Igxavier. There is no IG in front of Xavier.

The first one doesn't make the cut because there are no medians in NOLA; only neutral ground.

I hate it when people drop the "t" in words:
button - buh'un
kittin - ki-un
martin - mar-un
bottle - bo-ul
