False. False false false

Now If you’re a local and probably black you say “noo-wahlins”

But no one says fricking nawlins


Yeh "Nawlins" is some Hollywood shite lol. I hear a lot of "New Or-lee-uhhns" and "New Or-lynns"from people in New Orleans.

It's not really jambalaya, like. 'he's got himslef in a jam'.

And it's not really jumbalaya like, 'did you see the movie about the flying elephant, Dumbo'?

It's somewhere in between sorta like, jahmbalaya.

I think Kafaka referenced Hank Williams - listen to the way he says it, because he kinda covers all the bases :
Jambalaya

Yeah I feel like that Chalmette/lower ninth accent says New-aw-lens and the uptown crowd says New-Or-Lens.
