Call Me Merriam Webster

....right.

I actually just steal from MW and add some shady pop culture references to the mix.

But you run with whatever works for you, no?

My oh-so adorable Belen left a little comment asking me to further explain the almighty Twang.

Merriam -Webster defines it as:

Main Entry: 1twang
Pronunciation: \ˈtwaŋ\
Function: noun
Etymology: imitative
Date: circa 1553
1 : a harsh quick ringing sound like that of a plucked banjo string
2 a : nasal speech or resonance b : the characteristic speech of a region, locality, or group of people
3 a : an act of plucking b : pang, twinge
— twangy \ˈtwaŋ-ē\ adjective

Still a little unsure of the twang?

Just think of Ryan & Maci from MTV's Teen Mom.... and the fact that they're kids name is Bentley yet they call him "Behhhn-laaay"

OR

Think about any song by Justin Moore, particularly this one...

Still don't got it?



Just imagine any of the above saying "Fingerrr Leckin' Gooood"

I for one do not have a twang.

I have noticed, however, that when I'm around Ben

I tend to get a little twangy.

He probably thinks I'm mocking him,

but I'm just going to file it under "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
