6. Batohn-Rrrrhooooghe

[TheCentepedeShoes]

17. That's the way

I say it. Picked it up from a former neighbor who was from there and moved next door to us in Tal-uh-hassy.

[Taverner]

7. New Orleans should be a one syllable word

[MrCoffee]

8. you may sing.

[trof]

10. In the song it's Noo Orleens.

Natives say Naw-luhns.

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. I can't figure how to spell the dipthong

but there's definitely one between "N" and "Awlins."

It's not exactly "oo," as in "Nooawlins;" it's closer to "uh," as in "Nuhawlins." But it isn't that, either.

Fuck it. I'm goin' with "N'awlins."

[MrCoffee]

12. I think the conventional standard spelling applies...you may sing.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. And now...

Fayetteville.

:D

15. Nawlins

Repeat after me: "Nawlins"
