Pro none see aye shuns

I saw this video meme over at Sarah’s blog and decided to copycat her. Also, make sure you check out her video — her accent makes me want to dance a little. It’s fairly awesome.

So, there’s a list of words to pronounce, and then some questions to answer to gauge what term you use for things. Here’s my video (if you listen closely you can hear my dogs in the background, and Charlie goes crazy at one point).

Also, I apologize for looking like a ghost-faced killah in my video. Unless you like that kind of thing, in which case YOU’RE WELCOME!

If you want to participate (and I hope you do — leave me a comment so I can check it out) you can see the words and questions below:

Words

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

Questions

* What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
* What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
* What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
* What do you call gym shoes?
* What do you say to address a group of people?
* What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
* What do you call your grandparents?
* What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
* What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
* What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

I was going to do it a second time and bust out my Southern accent, but one video of my pasty-ass is enough, I think.

Aha! The first "datta" rather than "dayta". I thought everyone in the US said it your way, so see what the internet can teach us?
Also, I may start greeting people with "what up, gangstas?". Especially when I go to New York in May.
