Sarah Harris I live in Florida, but my family is from the country-ass part of Florida, never seen most of these places, only missed one. I was hoping for Brunswick since It’s only an hour away from me.
Ages ago, an out-of-state student at the University of Georgia tried to lie his way into paying in-state tuition. He claimed to be from Winder, a short drive from Athens. The lie became evident because of his mispronunciation of the town name. He pronounced it WIN-der. The correct pronunciation is WINE-der.
I live in Georgia and some of these were incorrect. Senoia is pronounced like Sin-oy-yah. And the First Lady did get Lithonia right. Everyone there says it like that.😂
Thank you, Mrs. Dooley who taught me Georgia Studies! I got EVERY SINGLE ONE CORRECT!!! I am both a native and current Georgian. My folks would take me on trips on the weekends to different little towns. They taught me a lot of very important stuff that I still use today in the Vacation Rental business (in Helen, GA if anyone’s interested! Lol) Have a blessed Easter! 🐣
I know Hahira because my brothers went to the Georgia Sheriffs boy's ranch there back in the 1960s. They taught my brothers how to be self-sufficient, how to garden, how to build things and put responsibility on their shoulders. It was a working ranch and an excellent place for boys to go when their family was going through rough times. They were only there about a year but it left a permanent, positive impact on them. I may not be able to pronounce ALL the names, but i am so blessed to have been born in Georgia...
That's weird because I have to go to Lithonia regularly and I pronounce it with a long "I", Lie-thonia. Of course, I live in McDonough, and people pronounce that all different ways. :-D
Those names are so weird but I’ve seen worse names on Long Island in NY. Amagansett, Speonk, Patchogue, Ronkonkoma, Wantagh, Yaphank, Quogue, Cutchogue, Commack, Hauppauge, Massapequa, Matinecock, Mineola, Setauket, Sagaponack, Asharoken, Aquebogue, I think you get the idea
For what it's worth, you can tell what part of the state somebody's from by the way they say Vidalia. Also, I grew up in Lithonia, they absolutely got that one flat-out wrong! The lady who said "Yes it is!", was right. Granted, there are people who say it that way, but generally they're not from GA. And Senoia (also lived there)! There are about three accepted ways to say Senoia, but the one they have isn't one I've even heard before. Dacula is wrong, too.
At least half this country pronounces Louisiana and New Orleans wrong. What they’d do to the rest of it, I don’t even want to know. Boutte is always fun for out of town friends.
But it is always funny if I set an address on my GPS and sometimes it correctly pronounces Dacula Road but sometimes it says da-cool-a and I always have a good laugh. If you don't mind me asking are you a Dacula native or did you move here? Personally I've lived here my whole life but I always like learning more about Dacula.
I work in Eastanollee, I have family in Hahira (honey bee festival), I've been to the gold mines in Dahlonega, and I have been to the King frog palaza (?) in Adel. Oh and The Walking Dead is filmed in Senoia!
Relatable. I have family from Tennessee and sometimes the way they pronounce our ga town names is kinda funny. So I’m from Vidalia. Yes it’s pronounced Vi-day-ah, not Vi-dale-ya. So I’ve heard it pronounced vi-dal-lah and vih-da-lia.
That's because everywhere else in the world it's pronounce mar-Teen-ez. But I can't talk. I grew up in Amarillo, TX and there's a street named Montague. Like Romeo's last name. Mont-ta-gue. But everyone pronounced it Mon-tayg. And here in Houston there's a major road named Kuykendall. Ain't no "r" in there but everyone calls it Kirkendall.
Several years ago I called the operator when that was a thing to find a phone number of someone in Wimaumama. The lady’s got mad at me and told me that place doesn’t exist.🤣
We got some weird ones up north, too. My favorite hard to pronounce Pennsylvania towns: DuBois (great french name usually pronounced Duh-bwah, but no, here it's Dew boys), Duquense (Dew-cane), Reading (Redding), Schuylkill (Skoo-kle), and, best of all, Youghiogheny (Yahk-i-gain-ee). There's also an amusement park called Knoebels (Kuh-nobles)
Fun Fact: In the Ray Stevens' song about the 43rd annual convention of the nobles of the grand mystic royal order of the Ali Baba temple of the shrine, they represented Hahira.
As a native Californian, Dalonega was the one that stumped me. On a search for the highest recommended barbeque places, it took the locals in the next town over a minute to figure out what I was saying when I asked how to get to Dal-on-nega.
Not a native Georgian, but my family lives out all over southern Georgia. The family farm is just outside Waynesville and I've got folks all around Waycross, Brunswick, and Valdosta. Spent a lot of summers and Christmases in Georgia. My family also likes to play this game with the kids at our reunions so I knew a good deal of these. Brought up a lot of memories thinking about some of these places, For example, when I first got my license I was driving to the family farm on a foggy night and took a wrong turn. I called my dad when I saw the signs for Ludowici because I grew up hearing the stories of how it was a terrible speed trap especially for anyone with out of state plates.
Here's one for you (& I grew up two miles from it) Ochlocknee, Georgia (it's in Thomas County roughly about 8-10 miles from Thomasville). Also throw in Pavo, Barwick, & Meigs for stuff & giggles too
@@miatinsley8465 Ok. That makes sense. Thank you. If you really want some hard to pronounce city names, go to Louisiana. I don't think anyone in this video could've pronounced Natchitoches, Cheniere, or Choudrant.
Hey y'all! Loved how y'all jokingly said my birth place of Hahira wasnt real. My daughter and I went through all the vids for this set. Loved it! Btw Senoia was mispronounced. The people who live there add an a on the end. Used to live in the area. I have lived in Thomaston,Molena,Forest Park,Jonesboro, Lake City,Riverdale, and Woodbury during my 20s. I worked all around the area. I been back home the back 20 years. Love your channel Btw can you do a video on southern towns that have military bases. It is really interesting how some folks dont know how to handle us
I grew up near Senoia in Coweta County, which is another hard one to pronounce! It’s where Walking Dead is filmed. And, my brother in law is from Hahira. Born and raised in Georgia, but I still only actually knew how to pronounce about a third of these!
My late dad was from Senoia, Georgia. He moved to Atlanta and married my mom and had me. They divorced in 1990. 17 years later, he died of heart problems at his sister's home. -_-
I grew up in Georgia and Alabama and I missed most of these. For many of these towns, you have to BE from there. A couple more: Buena Vista--NOT Spanish, it's BU-na Vista, not BWE-na Vista. Lafayette (both Alabama and Georgia)--La FAY ette, not the French LA fa yette. Ya gotta be local! ;)
@JW McCabe Down here, the locals (I have lived near both), pronounced it the way I described, the correct French pronunciation notwithstanding. :) That's the humor of this video!
As a native Floridian, one of my favorite jokes is about the Yankee husband and wife who came down to visit Disney World. They come into Kissimmee and get into an argument on how to pronounce the name. He said it's pronounced KISS-i-me and the wife said, it's Kiss-I-mee. The argument goes on and and gets more heated until they drive into a hamburger place to get lunch. They go up to the counter, still arguing and the man finally said to the boy taking their order, "Young man, my wife and I have been arguing for over an hour about how to pronounce the name of this place. Would you please just say, very slowly, how to pronounce the proper name of this place?" The kid looks startled, leans forward and says, "Bur-ger King".
One of the funniest ones I hear for Massachusetts is the town of Worcester. Most come up with everything but it. I tell people think of Worcestershire sauce and drop the "Shire."
I live in the same county so I grew up knowing how it’s said. A bit surprised they didn’t put Valdosta or ever Statenville cause I have heard people say them weird.
Being raised in Vl-DAY-A ( Yea-Go Indians) and the way Yall butchered those names I'm beginning to wonder? I notice that yall pronounce Atlanta wrong, it's At-LAN-UH.
I’m from Vidalia and have friends from most of these honestly, and Lithonia is 100% pronounced LIE-thonia. That lady was right to argue lol
Idk I always here people say lie thone eya
Even their "correct" pronunciation of Senoia was wrong.
Yeah, they were wrong about Lie-thonia and se-noy-ya.
Exactly. I’m from there and I’ve heard people say both “Li-thonia” and “Lie-thonia”. She was right to argue 😂

Hi there! I'm from Dacula. Always nice meeting a neighbor haha
Mack Joe welp nice to see you!

I’m from Georgia and I don’t even know how to pronounce these words.
I live in Jesup
Niggato I live in Tattnall County, neighbors Wayne
@@brandonjenkins8334 that's cool
Same 🤣
Me too
As soon as they said Dahlonega, who else thought of the Dahlonega Mine Train at Six Flags over Georgia?
I live in Georgia so it was funny y’all trying to pronounce Georgia names
will you get shot for saying y'all, if you're from another state that's not in the south, I'm from the north and I tend to say it a lot,
Sarah Harris I live in Florida, but my family is from the country-ass part of Florida, never seen most of these places, only missed one. I was hoping for Brunswick since It’s only an hour away from me.
I live in Jesup
I'm from North Georgia so I was dying from them saying Dahlonega
Right😂especially Dacula. I live right by there and it’s funny how many people can’t pronounce it correctly
Don't feel bad guys and gals, I am a Georgia peach born and raised and some of these towns throw me for a loop too! Lol 😄❤️
Same here!! Exactly!
Me too yeahyeah
Same!
Me too lol
Samw
The black lady actually got Lithonia right.🤷🏾♀️
The production staff told her it was wrong. She could be my next door neighbor.
I lived in Lithonia a min lmao 😂 never knew I was saying it wrong
Isn't it Lith-onia or Lie-thonia
John Stinnett I’ve always said “lie-thonia”
It is definitely LIE-tho-knee-uh lol
Oh my gosh them pronouncing Dahlonega 😅
My favorite. ...all my family lives in Dahlonega so that was easy but all of them were easy in you were born and raised in Ga!
There's gold in them there Dahlonega hills. I'm serious, for those of you who aren't familiar with that town. People go there just to pan for gold.
Laura Ward Yeah it’s quite the landmark here but mostly just for its’ military colleges
@@francesward2830 they really do
BUT IT'S SO EASY!!
What about atlanta?
Yall, it's uh-lan-uh
or 'lantah
I pronounce it that way and I'm from NY
and before you say, it's not the city, it's the state
Always called it Hotlanter
How could they mess up Adel and Hahira?
U'layana?
As someone who is from Georgia i was just smiling at their attempts. I knew how to pronounce them all. I wish LaGrange (where I'm from) was in it

Albany ~ all-BEN-y

How about Houston? We pronounce it "HOW-stun" in Georgia :-)
That's right!
Thats where im from XD
um?
It's a county, not a town.
@@Belpthis Thanks, I'm aware of that.
Cairo is pronounced the samy as Karo syrup here in southern Illinois too.
In Cairo, GA we are known as Syrup City and our mascot is the Syrupmakers. But its a different type of syrup from the Karo brand we make cane syrup.
I'm a really proud Georgian right now ,oh and I got all of them right yall!!❤

It's always been Lie thonia to most, but I think they mean the "official" pronunciation
And did you mention Mack Donna?
@@frzstat Mac Donna, Mac Dunna, I give up on that one. LOL!
I'm from Conyers and in this area Lih-thonia is more common than Lie-thonia although you do hear both versions.
I'm from Eastonollee and I always pronounce Lithonia Lie-thonia

Those names are so weird but I’ve seen worse names on Long Island in NY. Amagansett, Speonk, Patchogue, Ronkonkoma, Wantagh, Yaphank, Quogue, Cutchogue, Commack, Hauppauge, Massapequa, Matinecock, Mineola, Setauket, Sagaponack, Asharoken, Aquebogue, I think you get the idea
Hey Kim! Bet you got some funny ones over in North Korea!! LOL!!
Korean is surprisingly phonetic
Haha. I've been to Massapequa for church. I still struggle saying the city's name until I see it.
I see you EVERYWHERE 🤔
That looks like a lot of native tribal names.

very nice area
I live 15 minutes away from Dahlonega and it was hilarious watching them try to pronounce an easy ga city name
Same
best 4th of july
and i’m from a little town called Suwanee, i bet they can’t say that!! ( it near Lawrenceville)
I wouldn’t call Suwannee a little town :p
Why didn’t y’all do Louisiana? I bet money you couldn’t pronounce Nachitoches or Opelousas!!! 😂😂😂
Luuuuuuseanna would be a good one imho
Tchefuncte is one of my favorites.
That’s the one I’m waiting for!
At least half this country pronounces Louisiana and New Orleans wrong. What they’d do to the rest of it, I don’t even want to know. Boutte is always fun for out of town friends.
I’m from Bossier that ain’t that hard
I live in Dacula. It’s insane to me when people say Da-coo-la and not “duh-Cyoo-luh” but I cant judge them, it’s weird.
I read that as Dracula 😂

I live in Lowndes county and seeing them pronounce Hahira killed me
I laughed so hard! I'm kinda surprised they didn't do Valdosta...I hear so many people from other places mispronounc it.
You go to lowndes high school? LAne Smith
Senoia is subjective. I’ve heard Sen-oi, Sen-oi-a, Sen-o-a, and many more.
😂😂😂 this was hilarious i love being from Georgia
I love how they can't pronounce Martinez. I live just south of there, and it's kinda funny when your used to it, hearing people get it wrong.

Y'all forgot about Albany (pronounced all-BEN-nee)
Krista Bowers in 89 an islander asked a group of us students
all- mond or
al - mond?
valdosta Georgia
I miss Albany!!
One of the funniest ones I hear for Massachusetts is the town of Worcester. Most come up with everything but it. I tell people think of Worcestershire sauce and drop the "Shire."
Love it! I grew up in Martinez-Evans area.
Isn’t Hahira mentioned in the Shriner’s Convention song by Ray Stevens?
Yep, and it's in "Eric the Awful," too--maybe others. I was wondering how anybody can claim to be southern and not know Ray Stevens music. ;-)
Now you've done it! I will have to binge watch Ray Stevens videos :)
It’s in Southern Air as well
Don't answer the phone uddun-unnun!
@@mattstutzman1662 tough to beat Mississippi Squirrel Revival :) My husband went to the same HS as Ray.
Who cant say Vidalia? But Im from Savannah soooooo...
I'm from Savannah also.
They probably all knew how to pronounce it, but seeing it on here make them think they had it wrong all along.
Im also from Savannah
VI day ya ....L is silent
I’m from Tattnall (Neighbors Toombs Co which is Vidalia) and we pronounce Vidalia Vi-Day-Uh

To be honest, I still think this is the best one. I crack up every time I watch it
I knew Hahira because of a Ray Stevens song
I live in the same county so I grew up knowing how it’s said. A bit surprised they didn’t put Valdosta or ever Statenville cause I have heard people say them weird.

I have a good friend from Arab, Alabama.
Ay-rab.
I have family in Dacula, Georgia, and we have visited, and Georgia is nice. It is fun to try and pronounce Georgia towns
I’ve been to all but like three of these towns. Also, I always knew Calli was awesome; she’s from South Georgia!!
Being raised in Vl-DAY-A ( Yea-Go Indians) and the way Yall butchered those names I'm
beginning to wonder? I notice that yall pronounce Atlanta wrong, it's At-LAN-UH.
Me too! You're 100% correct!
I know this is a bit old, but I'm glad someone corrected them on how to pronounce Vidalia! I grew up there.
Honey Due ....you are so lucky! I love your onions💕

Next you should do real or fake Mississippi towns, I won’t say any but there are some funny ones you could use
I’m from Milan in Georgia!!! We are so small I thought no one knew about us! Literally there are only 500 people in town.
Yeah, me and my wife went to Massachussettes, she was driving. She kept telling me to look for Woostah. All I could find was Wor-chester. Same place.
Dagobah 😂
Yesssss!!!!! The force is strong with this one!
