Are we speaking the same language?

Yes, but many Pittsburghers will put malk on their cereal.

 

Yes. It's "pin" and "ink pin"

 

So is that pronounced MOW-k or MALL-k?

 

I was trying to say Norfolk around my brother, who lived in DC for a number of years, and he kept telling me if you're not cursing you're saying it wrong.

Still hear people say Nor-Folk, not Nor-Fuck all the time though.

 

Have you or anyone you know ever written a poym?

 

And if you're a native, it's NAW-fuck.

 

Indeed it is, though surprisingly few people say it properly even there. Transient population, I guess. Definitely a different pronunciation than the ones in England or Nebraska.

 

Faucet or spigot?

 

Locals in Nebraska actually pronounce it "Nor-fork."
According to local legend, they wanted to name the town after the north fork of whatever river is nearby. The people doing the paperwork back east thought it was a typo, that they wanted to name it after the city in Virginia. So it went in the books as "Norfolk." The locals, however, went with their original intentions and still call it "Norfork."

 

Jeet yet, Sam? Or are y'all fittin' to head?
