@@KeganTheTowel Not wrong, exactly, just colloquially they drop the N sound. Pronouncing it would give away that you're not from there. Admittedly, I pronounce the N because I just don't like calling a place "the Kill," but mostly I just avoiding saying the town name altogether. 😅

We lived in Jackson for 12 years and I know I've never even heard anyone MENTION some of these. Lol.

[@dindixie]

Because, according to Jacksonians, the rest of the state doesn't really exist, other than as a tax base.

2:20...that word is choctaw tribal language. During the removal of choctaws, the choctaws traveled north to what is called "Oklahoma". That's another choctaw word. Fun fact: arkansas has choctaw words also.

I knew how to pronounce Benoit, because of a certain WWE wrestler we don’t talk about anymore on account of...reasons I’m not going to get into here.

[@bennapier9260]

Too bad we don't actually pronounce it that way here. They are incorrect.

[@reneemulherin2899]

If you are in the culinary realm, it is Saucier (so--see-ay). If you are in Mississippi, it is Saucier (so-sha). Kinda surprised it didn't make your list of town names. Love this channel!

[@jimmyrants4342]

Many pronounce Saucier as So-Sher. My family has many Sauciers in it.

[@ManLand]

Bwahahaha... I live here in Mississippi and not only did I get half wrong...I didn't even know half of these towns existed...lol. Good One!

[@marleyturcotte1640]

Kiln is prounounced with or without the N, depending on the context of the sentence, but it’s never just “Kill”, it’s “The Kill” :)

[@Keirebu1]

I've lived in Mississippi for 30 years, I have heard of all these places, but I did not know that's how most of'em were spelled.

[@amariafrost]

I was waiting for this!! I can't wait to share it with my students.
