    As a native to Washington, I can appreciate this. Should've had them try to say Issaquah, Suquamish, Klahanie, and/or Quillayute!

    I've lived in Puyallup my entire life, and I work at a hotel. So I get people from all over America who can't pronounce my home town......

    Two things stood out: 1) I've never heard of Skamokawa and I've lived in Washington almost my whole life, and 2) Why the heck did the guy know Yakima?

    I've lived in WA for 10 years and am still learning the proper pronunciation for some of the towns. One day I'll master them... One day...

    I live in cowlitz county (right next to Wakiakum county) and I still pronounce skamokawa as "Scam-a-kah-wuh" just because it's funny. And I say whacky-ackum :)

    Movoto Originals I always look forward to your videos! Suggestion: I would love to see some more reaction shots to how these things are really pronounced or what the slang terms actually mean.

    • @movotooriginals
      @movotooriginals  9 лет назад

      ***** That's a good suggestion. Thanks for keeping up with us, Kenny!

      Movoto Originals No problem. It's like I'm waiting for that pay off, and it never (or rarely) comes. I hope that makes sense. Keep up the good work!
      BTW, is Sam related to Ethan Embry (www.imdb.com/name/nm0256121/), because he looks just like him!

      Barbara Houser hi Barbara. I could see them, I just didn't guess any of the pronunciations correctly.

    Kind of awesome that the one guy said Yakima. Didn't know that we are known out of state.
