Oh. My. God.
Friday, January 26, 2007
Overheard in line at Chucky Cheese.
Who? JD? Oh. My. God. Brittney, you are NOT taking Justin to that dance.
I'm not sure exactly how to describe the Utah accent except to say, imagine the way normal people talk and drop all the consonants from the middle and end of every word. Plus there are really only two lazy vowels. "Ah", as in "Dahn't even tahk tuh mah." And its bastard, in-bred, polygamous cousin "Uh", as in, "Whuh - uhvuh". Note the missing consonants.
This is also the language spoken natively at my house by the army of 12 year old girls that now live here nearly full-time, parked on the couch in front of my X-Box.

We get letters from them and they can't spell anything right! Total phentic eubonics from the woods! They spell Missouri without the O in all their letters!! They have spelled Texas as TEXUS!

The Utah Twang
Submitted by sofi (not verified) on January 26, 2007 - 10:28am.
When I try to describe the Utah twang, I always use these examples:
1. Mountain: mow-uhn
2. Something: sump-en
Oh, and "how are ya?" If you're in Utah, and someone asks, "how are you?", it's usually safe to assume that they are not a native Utahnian.
Okay, and one final thing. What's up with the constant dropping of "g''s". Huntin', fishin', campin', goin', baptizin', etc.
Now, I must stop. If I keep going, I'm bound to end up with a headache.

Not only that but you get that missing g back in the middle of words.
Sing-ging, Bang-ging, Hang-ging.
Awesome. Totally awesome.

Valley Girls

So, if the term "Valley Girls" was already taken for the California girls who talk differently, what name can we create for those from Utah Valley?
