My husband and I answered many yes on this joke thread. I'm thinking that we will feel right at home!

Don't forget Maryville is Mar-a-ville and not Mar-e-ville. I got corrected several times while I was there.

To sound like a true native, pronounce it "murvul."

Do I have to be without teeth to pronounce it that way? The man who corrected me said it that way and didn't have any teeth. Just wondering if there was a lingual relationship.

Now, when I go visit my Mom in Farragut I have to choose how I pronounce it depending on my audience. When I talk to out of towners I say "Fair a gut". When I talk to fellow Maryvillians I say "Furgut". That way everybody's happy. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Or just ignore the whole thing. For example, I refuse to pronounce Shelbyville the way the Shelbyville locals do. If any of them complain, my standard answer is "Oh, shut up".
