And you’re not alone – there are many places in our great state that only true Tennesseans know how to pronounce. Here are a few of our favorites:

Working in Advertising at the local paper, I talked with people from all over the US. I answered a call from a Chicago advertising agency one day with the usual “ElizzaBETHton Star”. The caller asked me to repeat it three times. Then I heard her say, “See, I TOLD you!” She thanked me for helping her win her bet and hung up.

TV people are the worst. Plus, they seem to enjoy saying it and so you have to hear them mispronounce it over and over. I have misophonia anyway and it drives ME batty too. Aa-lanta is another one but I realize that should be on another thread.

I love my little town. It was named after Coryton Woodbury, but he started receiving so much mail that was intended for the town government, he changed the spelling of the town to Corryton (adding the extra R). If a stranger asks us how it’s pronounced we always say Cor-ry-ton) but when we talk to each other, it’s sort of said like Carton, adding a slight pause after the car but still making just 2 syllables.

After I moved here from another state, I found out the public schools in TN do not teach phonics. I saw a television news report and they interviewed the principal at the local high school. He said, ” Things like this don’t happen at our sku!”
This is the principal of a high school? He could not pronounce the word, “School!”
The blind leading the blind here in TN!

Steve Cole

Blount is pronounced like “punt”. I’m not native to Blount County, but I’ve lived there for 13 years. It’s named after William Blount, the first governor of Tennessee, who pronounced his name that way.

Born and raised in Wilson County, currently residing in Mount Juliet.
It makes me chuckle a bit when I hear new comers say “Juliet” like you would from Romeo and Juliet. The more proper you say it the funnier it is. People from around here normally say something to the effect of “Mount Jewl-yet” or the old timers will say “Mount Jew-yet” but definitely only two syllables, just like our neighboring towns of Lebnin (Lebanon) and Old Hickry (Old Hickory). And let’s not forget our neighbors to the south in Murphysboro (Murfreesboro).
Emily
July 21, 2020 at 4:37 pm
As a Mt. Juliet native (family been local to here more than 200 years), thank you for recognizing how it should be said! Even though I’m still young (in my 30s), those raised to pronounce it “Mount Jyoo-yet” like me are a dying breed!

Is Cocke County pronounced “Coke” as in the soft drink, “Cook”, or “Cock”?
Steve Cole
November 17, 2020 at 2:31 pm
Blythe Ferry. It’s not really a town, more of a place with a small community that used to have a car ferry that would take people across the Tennessee River. You would think the “the” would be pronounced, but according to my wife’s grandfather, an Igou who lived in Chattanooga starting from about 1960 on and visited the ferry on the last day of its existence, said that folks there pronounced it simply “Bly”. The last three letters are silent.
