How do you pronounce these names? (colleges)

Parent Cafe
81

<p>

especially when pronounced with a “huskem” voice.</p>

82

<p>A CC cookie to any non-Georgian who can pronounce “Taliaferro County” properly . . . . And two cookies if you know the ingredients to Brunswick stew.</p>

83

<p>It’s “Toliver” isn’t it? That’s how they pronounce it in Williamsburg.</p>

84

<p>Albany, California is prounced AL-BANEE by everyone except me. I say ALL-BANEE, being from New York (no, not New Yawk and definitely not New Yoik).</p>

<p>Macalester is indeed pronounced like “McAllister” or “Macallister”.</p>

<p>I see nothing wrong with House-tin Street or Gren’itch Village (or Villidge). Nor Pellem Parkway (not PEL-ham), "Washinton Heights"or even “Greenpernt”. And nobody calls “MOSH-aloo” Parkway “Mo-Shoo-loo” except people who didn’t live there. And I also say “cawfee”, not “coh-fee”.</p>

<p>And I have a dandy article about confusion or lack of same in Boston between “cod” and “cord”.</p>

85

<p>Is squirrel one of the ingredients in Brunswick Stew?</p>

<p>OK, non-New Yorkers, what are the ingredients in an Egg Cream? I’ll offer a CC bagel to any who know that.</p>

86

<p>ooohhh- I’m from NY but live in Ga. I’ll Have to disqualify myself from pretetmanger’s and pyewacket’s contests. Add into the contest the recipe for a 2 cents plain…
And dadofsam-- see post #69. It’s kind of amusing that California pronounces it’s Al-bany the way Georgia does, not the way NY does.</p>

87

<p>driver - you get a cookie! I didn’t even know VA had a “toliver”. I’ve never found out how “Taliaferro” got pronounced “Toliver”, though. Do you know?</p>

only if one falls in. And if the squirrel gets into the cook’s Kentucky bourbon, it could happen.</p>

I’m sure it was just an Americanization of the original hard-to-prounounce Italian (guessing it’s Italian). It was actually a fairly wide-spread name in Colonial America. There’s Taliaferro-Cole house and shop in Colonial Williamsburg. Another Taliaferro married George Wythe, the famous law teacher who counted Thomas Jefferson among his students. There were several Taliaferros who were big planters in the South.</p>

89

<p>I thought an Egg Cream was seltzer water with something…not eggs or cream…in it. A friend of mine once talked about them but he’s dead now and I can’t ask him.</p>

<p>Egg cream: chocolate sauce (preferably Fox’s U-Bet), milk, and seltzer. Right? (Dredging that from a long-buried memory…)</p>

<p>Now I’m drooling, how unattractive.</p>

91

<p>WHy do they call it an egg cream? <a href=“http://www.nycvisit.com/content/index.cfm?pagePkey=674[/url]”>http://www.nycvisit.com/content/index.cfm?pagePkey=674&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>My father’s Brunswick Stew–as made according to the old family recipe by his mother–did have squirrel in it. He always told us how much he missed it! (Alas, a quick check of the old family cookbook (written by his aunt, a cooking writer, and published in 1967 when she was retiring from her job at the Seattle Times) gives no recipe. The first chapter is “Kansas Breakfasts I Knew As a Child” and describes “pancakes enough to serve the six hired men, our family of seven children, my grandmother, and Cassie, our hired girl” served with molasses, butter, and pork sausage.)</p>

92

<p>Ooooh! Here are some good ones:</p>

<p>Pend Oreille
Puyallup
Nanaimo
Coeur d’Alene</p>

<p>No fair if WA/ID residents play ;)</p>

93

<p>I’ll add a few Texas items:</p>

<p>Mexia
Colmesneil (bonus points if anyone knows where this town is)
Bexar County</p>

<p>And there are some residents of Woodville, Texas that pronounce it as “Woovle”.</p>

94

<p>Puyallup pronounced Pwee-yallup?</p>

<p>How is Pittsburgh pronounced by Pittsburgers?</p>

95

<p>Da’Burg, mostly the dahntahn part where dem Stillers play</p>

96

<p>Puyallup: pew-ALL-up (as is church pew)
or pew-AL-up (I’ve heard lifelong residents pronounce both ways, although it is a native american word, so they would be the experts)</p>

<p>OK I’ve got to know the Texas ones. Never heard of any of those places. Of course, I’ve only been to El Paso and San Antonio and that was about 25 years ago.</p>

97

<p>To a true Pittsburgh “Yinzer” the correct pronunciation is Pixburgh 'an naht.</p>

<p>Although 2331clk you get bonus points for your response.</p>

98

<p>Congrats, mootmom, a bagel for you! Why is it called Egg Cream? perhaps someone’s Ph.D. topic for the future…</p>

99
