You know what I am talking about. I'm not from LA and think it is goofy.

They are trying to be ethnically cool? 
The irony is when I pronounce "baton" in Baton Rouge it's "batun". "Baton" alone is pronounced "bah-touwn".
I don't know why.

You need a lesson in phonetics because I have no clue how you are suggesting "touwn" should sound.

Same reason from Lafayette say laffy et. My wife is from ATL and tries to correct me until we pass that way and everyone says the same thing the same way....dialect!

Its hard for them to recreate the dialect and say it correctly..."Batun Rudge"
