Same reason people say Cali, Hot Lanta, Chi-town, "new yalk" (however you'd spell that accent)

Simply put, stereotypes

Because people love to go to nawlins for the Mardi Gras and hang in the swampy sinking bayou of the city where you can pee anywhere you want ane everyone in the French Quarters is naked and drunk 24/7

It least it isn't as annoying as people saying New Ore-lee-ahns.

"N'awlins"


I can't stand it, but I tolerate it and try and just simply say that we don't say it like that. I also can't stand the way that morning radio newscaster says Sean Pay-Unnnn.
