Subject: oj and chocolate



There is a New York/New Jersey/Jewish pronounciation of GAZZ for gas

and ORANJOOSE as one word for orange juice. However, only New Jersey seems

to use CHAWKLIT for chocolate.

I usually say "ornjjuss" when speaking casually. "chaklit" to me sounds

natural, too. Also, "kerml" for caramel.



I am a fourth-generation Seattlite on my mother's side and second- on my

father's.



My grandmother from WVa says "greazy" for greasy, but I don't recall how she

says gas.
