Pronouncing "Guadalupe" in Austin or San Marcos.

[luksky]

Hey, hey....let's not get testy. I happen to be one of those "foreigners" from Alabama. Been here a year and love living in Texas. When we first moved here our realtor gave us a crash course in street name/city pronunciations. We try really hard to prounouce them they way they are pronounced here so we won't stick out as one of those "foreigners" as you call us......

i swear. austin and its trendie sh*t.

incidentally, Jobert is pronounced "jabbit". Seriously though, Schlumberger Rd. is pronounced "schlum-ber-zjay" (au francais). Pedernales = "peddernallus" Bowie = "booey" etc. People say weird things all over the country - up north creeks are called "cricks"

Off topic again, but back to HEB pronunciation, my family and I pronounce Central Market as "Gucci-Bee", the HEB at Hancock Plaza as the "Wanna-Bee" and the HEB at Burnet/Koenig as the "Sleazy-Bee."

Inversely, Target in a good part of town is pronounce "Tar-zjay" (again au francais) and the bad part of town they're called "Targhetto"

btw would the HEB at Cannon/35 be what, the Nacho-Bee?

When you don't have time for the whole joke...just use the punch-line...

"Hey! Put that back! That's not 'cho cheeeeze!"
