[LynzM]

"Exit"

Go ahead, say it, I'll wait....



























And now, vote!

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. Ecks-it

:shrug:

[Briarius]

3. It's ok Rev...

she's just weird :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. Well, I suppose Eggs have to leave movie theaters too

:silly:

[NightWatcher]

2. Eggs Zit

[mockmonkey]

38. That's how I pronounce it. n/t

[MsKandice01]

5. I thought I was the only person who noticed that variation

I'm an Eggs-it person myself.

[LynzM]

6. I didn't notice it until today...

We were on the road and I was explaining to our daughter about the exit off the highway, and she was confused about what it had to do with eggs... :rofl: I'm an "eggs-it" person, as well, and just never thought about it!

[Redstone]

16. She's a damn smart kid, your Little one...If she's noticing incongruities at such a young age,

she has the potential to be a great writer some day.

I know I don't need to encourage you or Mr Brer Rarius to keep her interested in noticing everything.

Redstone

[LynzM]

18. She listens intently when she wants too,

And she notices a damned lot of stuff that I never would, because I'm too acclimated to living in this world to see those things. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Off-ramp

:P



And now, a question for you:

How many returns did you have to hit to make the actual poll a scrolly-downy-thingie?

[LynzM]

10. Punk :P

To be honest, I don't know how many it was... but hang on. Lemme go hit 'edit' and I'll count 'em for ya. :)

On edit: that would be 28, sir. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. And how did you arrive at that figure

for your scrolly-downy intentions?

Was it just random, or were scientific methods involved?









I need to know this kinda stuff. If you could see inside my head, you'd understand why. And you'd run away screaming.

[LynzM]

17. Hrm...

I think I just scrolled down until what I had posted was near the top of the screen, figuring that plus header space would be enough to hide what I typed at the bottom. And then I previewed it to make sure it worked correctly.





I don't think I'd run away. I think I might be comforted to have met a fellow over-analyzer. :)

[Nicole]

8. X-it

I had to say it aloud just now so I could vote. I never thought it were different ways to say it.:rofl:

[Redstone]

9. The way it's spelled. Otherwise, I'd cut wood with with an "aggs," wouldn't I?

And I sure wouldnt want to be doing that, becausse it would be a maggsimum bummer, I'd bet.

Redstone

[LynzM]

12. LMAO....

Dude, you crack me up, and that's a good thing :)

:hug:

[Redstone]

13. Yeah, I'm back. Ain't nothing going to keep me from being funny for very long.

That's why I'll live forever..every day that you give someone else a laugh adds a day to your life.

Redstone

[LynzM]

19. Oh yes, then you are immortal :)

:) :hug:

[lost-in-nj]

24. HUGS!!!!

Mary Poppins had a song

I LOVE TO LAUGH (ha ha ha ha ) !!!!

what an emotion, that is why as cheesy as it is I watch Americas Funniest Home Videos on Sundays....
I laugh the WHOLE hour....





:toast: :bounce: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Laughing is healing.....

[Redstone]

26. I wish I could tell you how I made the lady at the pet store almost spit out her coffee yesterday,

laughing at what I said while I was buying some pigs' ears for the puppy to eat, but you hadda be there.

I do not consider it a good day unless I've made someone laugh.

Redstone

[unpossibles]

39. the tough slough coughs through

or something like that.

And my wife drinks expresso when she's sleeeepy. I don't blame her though - her dad warshes his car. I had to think about how I say it, although my first guess ("ecks-it") was correct.

[Mad_Dem_X]

41. EXactly! It's an X, not a G!

EX-it.

[SPKrazy]

11. Eggs-it

:shrug:

[Redstone]

15. I'd have eggspected that. Just out of curiosity, do you also exert a force called

"leverage" now and again, using a "leever?"

Lots of people do, though I still don't understand why.

Redstone

[SPKrazy]

20. Nope

use a lever

and eck spect

but egg sit

probably a regional thing

doubt it's some sign of universal ignorance though :P

[Redstone]

21. Most of this stuff is indeed regional. I doubt you'll find even ONE Pennsylvania native

who doesn't say "eggsit."

But of course, people from PA tend to put antifreeze into the "raddiator" (rhymes with "gladiator") of their cars as well.

Redstone

[SPKrazy]

25. Raddiator eh?

:rofl:

i'll have to pay attention to how people pronounce it here, i grew up in utah and oklahoma, and i've never thought about the word exit until this thread ha ha

i may be saying it different from everyone else around here for all i know.

but no raddiators

we do have sea-ment for cement

[Redstone]

28. Hey, in Philadelphia, "the payment" isn't something you make on a loan; it's something

that you walk on. ("Payment" = "pavement" = "sidewalk.")

Redstone

[SPKrazy]

29. *snort*

get off the payment fella!

:rofl:

[Redstone]

31. And they WARSH their hands with soap and WOODER, and dry them with a TAL.

I had a harder time understanding Philadelpians when I first moved there, than I had understanding Southerners when I forst moved south.

Redstone

[SPKrazy]

32. Now people 'warsh' their hands here too

and funny how a last name can be pronounced one way here, and another way in another part of the state.

And when i moved from north central oklahoma to central arkansas, i felt like i'd moved into the very deep south.


now i live in western arkansas and it is a different dialect altogether, still more of a "southern" than western, but i thought oklahoma accents sounded southern when i moved there from utah, but in comparison, it's like oklahomans in central oklahoma anyway, have a much different accent than southeast oklahomans.

i'm sure that is true anywhere, i never noticed it much in utah, of course it never seemed like there was an accent there.

:hi:

[krispos42]

35. Oh yeah, the raddiator

I've heard that a few times myself. Rarely, though. I don't think it's very common in Connecticut.

[I Have A Dream]

37. I'm a Pennsylvania native, and I say "eck-sit".

I also say radiator with a long a. :shrug:

[lost-in-nj]

22. Eggs-It

I am from NJ and this is how we say it

I think with these "how do you say" posts and surveys you should ask where they come from..
Its really interesting!!!!

I remember being in Las Vegas and a woman came up to me and asked me where my accent was from????!!

Never in my life has anyone asked me that again...
My son went to Paramedic school in Pittsburgh and they actually have a translation book in the stores for the students!!!!


LOL :)

[VenusRising]

23. Eggs-it.

Never thought about it before though.

[SPKrazy]

27. me either

and you are a Texan, right?

or an Alabaman

or an Ohioan?

:shrug:

I know where you went to high school though :P

(Acire told me)


:hi:

[VenusRising]

34. I think my life has been divided by

living in Texas and Ohio about equally. Most of my formative were in Texas, though.

Can't break me of saying "y'all" or "cokes". It's just part of me now.

I bet you read it on my myspace page. :p

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

36. Acire told me

:mad: don't you doubt that!


:hi:




:rofl:

[LaraMN]

30. As soon as I started to think about it,

I could no longer remember!
Now I don't KNOW how to say it!

[Kali]

33. Eggzit

Eggs-Zackly!

(Arizona)

[ZombieNixon]

40. With an unvoiced /g/ but a voiced /s/

So, somewhere inbetween. :evilgrin: :P
