...why? Did I mispronounce lunch again?....You might want to watch that video again!
...is that anywhere near Intercourse?....That's how we pronounce our Bangor, yes.
LOL, no. And it’s not near Blue Ball, Virginville, Lickdale or Climax either....is that anywhere near Intercourse?....
They should! It's not Or-on-o or O-ron-o, it's Or-ah-no with the emphasis on Or.Do they have one for Orono?

...yeah, like Orono Flow by Enya.....They should! It's not Or-on-o or O-ron-o, it's Or-ah-no with the emphasis on Or.
They should! It's not Or-on-o or O-ron-o, it's Or-ah-no with the emphasis on Or.
This is AWESOME! This should address all the people who mispronounce the city's name. Filmed at Paddy Murphy's, too!
I can't say that!!! I don't mean because I consider it obscene (it may be), or that doing so would go against every conviction I've always held dear - I just can't do it. Like some people can't roll their Rs, you know? Perhapes, were I to live on Banger for a while, I'd learn the local lingo.They should! It's not Or-on-o or O-ron-o, it's Or-ah-no with the emphasis on Or.
...who cares? They have beer!...
As you know I stayed in Orono when I visited. To make sure I got it right I remembered it by this phrase: "Is that a yes, Or-a-No?" I got no strange glances for my pronunciation, so I am saying the trick worked.They should! It's not Or-on-o or O-ron-o, it's Or-ah-no with the emphasis on Or.
"Ora-know", like when dad would say, "You ora-know better'n pee yer own leg, dammit!"?They should! It's not Or-on-o or O-ron-o, it's Or-ah-no with the emphasis on Or.
That's what you get for naming your kid after a Jethro Tull song.My little boy's name is Orion, and you'd be surprised how many times his pediatrician or dentist office leaves a message, calling him "OR-ee-on." It's very frustrating.
