We Try to Pronounce Georgia Town Names

In the South, never judge a town name by the way it's spelled. These town names in Georgia are no exception.

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.

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.

Should have included Monticello, GA. We will run you out of town on a rail if you pronounce it like Jefferson's estate in Virginia.

You should check out some of the county names. I'm from Georgia living in Canada. I love to confuse people here with the county and city names!

[@LeeLee-pk4ss]

Y'all should do counties SC has a county called Horry it is not pronounced as it is spelled instead it is correctly pronounced "Oh-ree" Also SC and NC have a long standing argument on how to pronounce Beaufort

As a Lithonia resident. The girl who got surprised her guess was wrong is how everyone here actually says it. No one actually pronounces it like this video says it is... lol

[@thesharinganknight9859]

She’s is right you’re pronunciationing it wrong

The moment I read the title of this video I knew my town (Dacula) was going to be included, haha!! Love it!! :-D

[@noahmcclure2515]

Y'all, I live in Hoschton, and I don't even bother saying I live here, so I just say I live near Atlanta....

Y’all forgot Winder XD Also Lithonia can be pronounced either as Lie-thon-ya or Li-thon-ya. It just depends on which part of Georgia you’re from. I’ve also heard people in North Georgia call Milan as Mee-lan or Me-laan.
