Clarification Help!

I pronounce Becan (bee ahh nnn) Is that the correct pronunciation ? This just came up from a relatively known source whom pronounces Becan differently than I.

    No "C" or "K" sound?  That's weird!

    Many years ago, I worked at a gas station downtown in Chicago.  Cab drivers would come in frequently to gas up, stretch, and air out the back of their cabs.  I discovered that some of these people spoke words I thought I knew but in an entirely different manner.

    "Eh Eh Eye AH Wuh Reh rer!"  (Give me $5 worth of Regular!")

    "En Uh Eyetz!  En Uh Eyetz!"  (Winston Lights!  Winston Lights!)

    "Ee Yuh!"  (Fill 'er Up!)

    "Uz Aheeun O Ow Gih Uh Zayuh?"  (Does Anyone Know How to Get to Zion?)

    "Mah Azz iz Ohn Fahyer!"  (Are your seat beads comfortable?  Mine appear to be failing in this area.)

    That was just a pretext for airing out the fronts of their cabs.

    That must be some sort of Cabonics dialect?
     
    Now the British cabbies who speak cockney shouldn't mix with the Chicago cabbies.....
     
    or should they?

    Chicago cabbies don't mix.  Their cabs aren't equipped with reference monitors.

    I pronounce it- bacon.
    And I don't talk to Chicago cab drivers.
    I've been in two cabs...one in Mexico and one
    in Albq. New Mexico...I didn't talk at all but I
    did scream and yell a few times.

    Cabbies also like it when you drool and beat your head against the acryllic seat divider, too.  They get almost as excited as the bank tellers when you do that.

     This is very illuminating. I never knew that seals were in the navy nor did I realize that those seals were armed. Thanks Man.

    Of course seals (and why wouldn't the be Navy, they're already in the water) have arms. How did you think they can swim so fast?

    It's a good thing you already had another job in the Get a Presely to Mooch's Wedding plan.  Just so everyone knows, there are no refunds on the Dolphin costumes with the arms, legs, and laser.
