This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah I live in California and there's a million cities that are not pronounced the way they are spelled. It's like California has to be unique and everything. I live near a city called Lodi. (Low die) And another called ione (I own uh) then there's my favorite, Los Banos which is ABSOLUTELY NOT SPANISH FOR TOILET! IT IS LOS BANE OHS!! Lol, it's actually cool how different regions will mutilate similar words based on who the fuck knows what

Oh shit nice. I see your shit here all the time, that's awesome. Since you're from the area I live in Auburn. Even up here it's too fucking hot right now! My ac went out Thursday and as I'm sure you know that was perfect timing... Bout to take my ass to Tahoe if it doesn't get fixed soon and sleep in a hammock I swear.

Edit I realize Auburn isn't close per se but I moved here recently from rancho Cordova which is actually pronounced as it should be lol

NorCal lesgoo. My favorite town name is Manteca. Literally named a city "lard" in Spanish

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol, I have 2 employees that live there. They will fuck you up if you mispronounce it

[–] Telcontar 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
