Watchamacallit

I've seen a thing going around, where you videotape yourself saying a list of words and answering some questions.  It's supposed to show us your crazy accent and local words you use for everyday things.  I just listened to running backwards in high heels and she's southern and it was such a trip down memory lane from my college days!

I will spare you the videotape and the list, but suffice it to say it has words like aunt and route and other things that no one outside of New England can say right :)

Instead, I will just answer these questions and then you can do the same on your blog and let us know what crazy things you say!
