Thread Name: BS: the pronunciation of bayou
Subject: RE: BS: the pronunciation of bayou
Mind you, in the interests of song and rhyme, I have heard native born Louisianans pronounce the town's name as New Orleeeens. And that is not what they say in course of conversation, where it is N'awlins (if you are strict) or NooOrlinns.

Where is PoppaGator?
