Before the storms roll into eastern Oklahoma, let’s practice some town names: I’ll start with Colcord:
“CALL-CORD.”
Like “Imma call you on an old school phone with a cord.”

Adair.
Long A, and DARE as in truth or dare.
“I have a friend who put A-1 on her steak at @mahoganyprime and it wasn’t even a dare.
.”

Moodys.
The “s” is silent. Just trust us on this one.
“It’s impossible to put the MOODY Blues in a box.”
If a fellow local wants to argue this point with me, come at me, bro.

Sportsmen Acres.
SPORTSMEN’S ACRES
This one actually IS plural colloquially!
(Ya like that? We’re full of contradictions!)
So just add the “s.”

DU-LAWN-UH-GEE but with a hard “g” like giddyup!
“DUH! Of course your LAWN is over grown. UH, it’s rained like a GEE-Zillion inches this year.”
(Yeah, that was a stretch, but this one was hard.
)

Wickliffe.
WICK-CLIFF
“Make sure there’s enough WICK on those candles in case you lose power from the storms. But if you do, don’t get all dramatic & act like you’re about to jump off a CLIFF or something.
Humans survived thousand of years w/out electricity.”

This is a weird one. Like if you said “Actually” but you decided to skip all the vowels. Give it a whirl!
“Well, ATCHLY, what I meant to say was....”
Ask ANYONE is Bryan County. Or @davidalancrow. SO ODD.

Verdigris.
PAY ATTN! This applies to the town AND the river!
VERDA-GRISS! NOT VERDA-GREE!!
Not like Pinot Gris! It’s not a fine wine, dang it.
It’s a small town on a small river.
“Here’s a pic of my lil great aunt VERDA, my Nan-Nan’s SIS, which rhymes with GRISS.” #OkWx
