when i was little, i used to pronounce aunt as "ain't" but i think i picked that up from my dad (who's from southern louisiana) because i've never heard anyone else say it that way.

i almost exclusively use "ant" unless someone else is referring to their aunt/themselves as ahhnt, then i'll use ahhnt uniquely for them.

i also used to call ink pins "ain't pins" because my dad pronounced it similarly (aink pins) but that's just me being a dumb kid

hey ali......... what the fuck is an ink pin

You make shitty stick and poke tattoos with them

this tracks to me

fuck i meant pen***

but we pronounce the e like an i. so instead of pehn it's pin. we call them "ink pens" even though... i don't know why we have to say the "ink" part because pens obviously use ink

ohhhHHHHHHHHH

I never questioned why it's an ink pen and not just a pen til this moment

are all pens "ink pens"??

vape pen

Maybe not exclusively but very often yes

yeah i never really questioned it until just now. even as an adult, i'm like, "oh, wait, hold up, i have an ink pen." like. yeah, no shit it has ink.

Maybe because a lot of people pronounce pin and pen the same? Like you don't wanna ask for a pen and get no safety pin

not a lot of people, just yall

I... I think I say pen as in pehn when it's by itself but pin when it's an ink pen what is this what is my brain

when i'm around other southerns i'm like "INK PIN" but when i'm trying to act educated around non-southerns i'm like "pehn 💁"

TRUE, TRUE. i've been asked for a pin before and thought they meant pen. (especially when i used to work in the theatre's costume workshop, because we were all southern and all pronounced pin/pen the same.) but people from other regions definitely sound out the "e" in pen.

i googled "ink pen" and... it's not what i expected??? i refer to ballpoint pens as ink pens but google images shows a fountain pen (the one with the lil quill tip) as an ink pen. is my whole life a web of lies?

i initially guessed that you meant a fountain pen

no, that's for the rich folk who don't pronounce pen and pin. pen/pin people buy our ink pens ink a bulk pack from walmart.

Yeah like a regular as Bic ink pen

YEAH!!! those fancy pens are just "fountain pens"

i'm sorry you're never allowed to criticize my pencil crayons ever again, mrs. INK PENS.

I can I will and I do

pencil pencils

it should make you happy that the french>english translation is "coloured pencils"
