ink_n_imp | So, add this to the list of things Nella misprounces.

So, on top of saying "sangwich" instead of "sandwich", and "headacke" instead of "headache", supposedly I say "draws" when I'm talking about "drawers" (you know as in a cabinet drawer). I've never really noticed this before, but I have L. in my office to thank for this round of self-enlightenment, as she tricked me into saying "drawer" several times before I realized the look on her face was not one of confusion from mishearing me, but of glee at my pronunciation of the word in question. This is like the time one of the maintenance guys stopped me dead in my tracks as I was crossing the Drill Hall, insistent that I must be from the south and whereabouts was I from based solely on the way I had said "visited my dad". Oye Vey.

Do you know how LONG it sometimes takes me to convince people I am actually from Long Island, that no, I'm not a transplant from the South, or the West, or Canada, or Minnesota, or Boston, OR Ireland, so some other accented place???

And she's still yelling "Drawer" at me at random intervals over the filing cabinets. So glad my accent of strangely-difficult-to-place and that likes to fuck with random words brings such joy to others' lives.
