Hairicane Katrina
Rant of the day: mispronunciation of words.
I know I've not got a lot of room to talk, what with my infamous substitution of "peench" for the Prada-wearing, trust-fund-bragging "pihnch", but how does one get "HAIR-i-cane" out of "hurricane"? These are the same people who say, "Don't be in a HAIRY! You'll get there on time." And this, too: "Wait! You'll run into protesters if you wear that FAIR coat tonight."
FUR. HUR. They rhyme. FUR coat. HUR-i-cane.
Can anyone pin the dialect on the donkey? In what part of the U.S.A. do these asses reside? Are you one of them? How can you tell? Ask *me*.

Good night. I've never heard that before. Cajun?
I am still curious as to how one prounounces "goldfinch", "inch", etc., according to the Jason Bennett Phonetic Paradigm.
