Do you listen or listen up?

A sandwich is a “samwhich”

Flapjacks or pancakes?
Do you eat your burger on a roll or a bun?

I am really liking these inputs of our different ways of communication. It’s an education. Very interesting how people from various parts of the country speak. I was born in Miami Beach...yep. My parents met in South Beach (B4 it was cool). They were from different corners of our country. Mom from Tacoma, WA. Dad from Brooklyn, NY. Grew up in North Miami area and later lived in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood areas. South Fl is such a conglomerate of speech patterns. Many Cuban friends. So myself & siblings have no discernible accents. My mom, & I think many of old time Miamians pronounced Miami...”My Am ah”. I used to call her out on that one. And in later years after visiting hubby’s relatives in Baltimore they said “youse”. Yuk. I once told them that it’s “you-all” - not “youse”. Ooh not a good thing to say in “Baldimer”. Lol!
