Help[Opinions] Re: Megan pronunciation/ “brics tegan”
in reply to a message by Tiggs
My, dialects are fascinating! I had no idea there were places in the English speaking world where "peg leg" wouldn't rhyme. Just where in the Western US is your "neck of the woods"?

I’m in California. Just took a quick phone survey with local relatives and they match with what I’ve always heard, “peg” and “leg” definitely do not rhyme. One mentioned that her grandfather always pronounced “Leghorn” (type of chicken) to rhyme with “peg urn”, but he was from Arkansas and also said things like “warsh” for “wash”.
