yvr girl, do you...
say

pr-oh-gmom (as in pr-oh-gress)

or

prague-mom (as in prague-gress)

Eh?

ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW! Heh. (Actually, my bro- and sis-in-law are "Vietnam Canadians" and had kids up there, so when we visit I hear the dialect from them.)

6. My Canadian niece and nephew would say it:
"pr-oh-gmum."

They also use the word "bum," which I think is so much more cutsie than "butt."
