This is the incorrect pronunciation, but do use it if you want.

Um, yes, but Steve's point was addressing the curiously incorrect
pronunciations that native Texans employ, which identifies who are native
and who are not. Kinda like Houston St. in Manhattan...
He did leave out Manor..........


Um, who cared if someone is native or not? This is the United States
and I was born here, so I am American. I live 37 years in NYC and
eastern Long Island.

Houston St. is pronounced both ways in NYC. Howston or Hueston. No
problems and nobody gives a shit if people are native or not. I guess
that's the advantage of growing up in a progressive, diverse culture
in one of America's first cities. To be honest, I like it much more
here, but that doesn't mean I'm going to dumb down to fit in.

What was it that Granny called them on the Beverly Hillbillies?

Stew...

Granny served up "heapin' helpins of possum stew". She also made
possum pies.

I found these.... still funny as when I first heard 'em...

http://www.amazon.com/Beverly-Hillbi...cts/B0007L86LW
Granny: "How do you like yer possum, Lowell, fallin' off the bones tender or
with a little fight left in it?"

[to an obviously revolted Mr. Drysdale] Jed Clampett: "That's the thing
about salted down possum, it's just as good the second day."



Maybe what I'm thinking of is what Ellie May called animals. Was it
"critters," or something else?

I lived in NYC for 10 years, on Mercer two blocks above Houston, I never
heard it pronounced "Hueston" by anyone other than tourists.

I didn't hear it often, but it is correctly pronounced both ways,
which was my point. I lived in Soho, grew up in Brooklyn.

I think Ellie was a vegetarian - practically unheard of back then.
She was a critter-lover and had sorts of pets. I remember her
being the coffee-maker of the house.

Granny: "It ain't her shoulders that have been poppin' these buttons."

Jed Clampett: "Well doggies!"

They don't make 'em like that anymore. All the sit-coms pretty
much went downhill after All in the Family, Barney Miller and
Mash.

-sw

What about:

Seinfeld
Everybody Loves Raymond
King of Queens
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Two and a Half Men

I could list more, but my mind is fried today. I'm also biased now
that I look at my list because most of these shows were about New York
and many of their references were funny to me, but my husband who is
from Green Bay didn't get till I explained it.

I knew that about you (more or less). I made a joke (which I think
you get).

But now you got my hackles up. Texans tend to use different words and
pronunciations than New Yawkers. That does not make us dumb.
However, please do not construe that as an endorsement of the word
"newcular".

Cliff's first response was spot on. Beneficial nematodes. But WOW, what a
thread. Maybe it's just that things are finally warming up and people are
crawling out from under their rocks to get involved in the discussion, or
maybe.....MORE BEER!

Do you think the grubs will be out early this year due to all the warm

How do you treat for grubs?
Where can one get the best products to treat for grubs - I hate them as
they destroy my lawn and plants.
Also, snails and slugs chew my poor flowers!
