frindley commented on the word apple pie
On cleaning out his car one day a man found a McDonald's apple pie under the front passenger seat. The packaging was in pristine condition and there was no sign of mold or deterioration, which amazed him, since he and his wife had sworn off McDonald's food more than three years before. Still, it looked good. So he took a bite. And it still burned his mouth!

I have a carton of Edy's Apple Pie ice cream in my freezer right now. The other day I noticed the carton doesn't say ice cream, it says "frozen dessert."

I first read 'carton' as 'cartoon,' and was wondering what good that would do you, and why you'd want to freeze it :-)

As I'm sure frogapplause can attest, cartoons always keep longer if frozen.

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word apple pie
Frozen cartoons are the best cartoons, that's what I always say.

I don't have enough freezer space for cartoons. I can barely fit in the tempeh as it is.

You are missing an Australian accent, apparently...

frogapplause commented on the word apple pie
WANTED! An Australian to pronounce the words: drawers, coldsores and applause (preferably in the same sentence).

Ha. Excellent! I love your droopy drawers recording, bilbycakes. I'd add some new pronunciations of my own, PossUnd... except all of my festering coldsores keep getting in the way.

Based on her peter piper pronunciation, it sounds like frogapplause is an R-emphasizing Amerrrrrican like me. So:
Droopy drawerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs.
Coldsorrrrrrrrrrrrres.
Frogapplawwwwwws.
...see? Totally different.

Uselessness, do you feel or know of any geographical or sociolinguistic links with the degree of r-coloring within the US? That’s been puzzling me for quite some time now . . .
