My favorite is a friend of mine from the Westbank says buffet as BOO-fey.


Buffet is a different situation. That is a french word, and that is the french pronunciation. In a city with french heritage, it's acceptible.

If french folks in Lafayette call the city, " La Fayette", instead of the Americanized, "Laffy ette", that's understandable and even appreciated.

Yes, it's kind of a hiccup or throat click in place of the "t" .


This is actually more of a Southern thing. Maybe it's common in parts of the NE, but not most.

I've also noticed that people from the southwestern part of Louisiana can't say a word that ends in "ale". "Whale" becomes "well", and "swale" becomes "swell". fricking lazy.
