I am intrigued by the strangest things.

Regular folks say "pee can", snooty folks say "pa khan",... I ain't snooty!

Pa-khan all the way....and I'm from the sticks!

And I say "vase" the same way I say race, got no respect for those who say "vaahz!

I've heard that 'bout you "Bammy" boys!

And no, I have no idea what I mean by that.

A yankee was traveling in the South and stopped at a roadside store. He asked the proprietor, "Do you have any pee-cans?" The proprietor replied, "No, but we do have some old buckets out back."

peekhan

Actually there are four pronunciations
Pee-can
Pee-kahn
Puh-can
Puh-kahn

I'm from North Georgia and say puh-kahn and my grandmother used to say a pee-can was what you kept under the bed during the winter.

You Gents crack me up.

Perhaps this is a good time to also introduce the Water Fountain or Bubbler question.

I had no idea.

It's a drinking fountain, or perhaps more accurately a dranking fountain.

Interesting.

You'll get more diversity by asking the name of a foot long sandwich.

You mean a Hero?

Or a:
Sub
Grinder
Hoagie
Bomber
Po' boy

Perfect.

I've got two Puh-kahn trees in my yard. Next to the ah'zalia and cah'melia bushes. That thing kids drink out of is called a water hose. Care for a beignet with you cafe'?

Our land is vast and wonderful.
