Did you read his last sentence? Frank Davis is about the only person I have ever heard say that. It was just a silly news segment branding, but now everyone thinks we say New Orleans that way, but virtually no one actually from N.O. does.
It’s cringe anytime I hear an out of towner say it, trying to sound cool or like they’re in the know. I even heard it said on a movie once with one of those exaggerated Southern accents they like to depict us with in film that has the whole country thinking we speak like a bunch of backwoods country hicks. 🙄
“You don’t sound like you’re from New Orleans.” Umm, sir, WTH are you talking about??? lol
