Coddo Woddo.

My new favorite pronunciation of "Colorado." But only usable out loud by very young children. In my mind I'm pronouncing it "Coddo Woddo."

A few more years of weed and it will be the way adult residents pronounce it, too.

Baba Wawa wikes it.

Cute.

Many many years ago the Denver Post had a photo of a guy in shorts on the cover. (so long ago I forget who he was and why he was on the cover)
It was not clear at first, but if you looked, one of his scrotum was hanging out and sitting on the side of his thigh. It could have been a shadow, but once your mind decided it was a single ball, that's what it was. He made a big splash - talk of the town.

We called him Scrotie from Coloradie.

My father used to answer the phone "heddo."

Challenge accepted. When someone tries to tell me that's not how it's pronounced, I'll say, yeah, not by newcomers.

Bill Kristol used to answer the phone "ahoy, ahoy."

I suspect a significant number of people actually split there time between Cabo and Coddo Woddo.

Very young children and addled mature minds.

Reminds me of Cabo Wabo, an overpriced tequila.

Bill Kristol used to answer the phone "ahoy, ahoy."

He might have gotten that from Alex "Invented the Phone" Bell. Supposedly Edison popularized "hello" out of some sort of inventive jealousy.

What do La Befana, Santa Claus, and Branco Bama all have in common?

Perfect for tomorrow's Epiphany.

Coddo Wado, land of the gun-toting hippies. (See today's Instapundit.)

In a handful of South Park episodes, Norwegians creating a "Troll Trace*" system pronounced it "Colo - reee - do".

*Troll Trace, if you don't know, is the system created to reveal the true identity of the author of every single 'troll' post on the internet.

I had to go to Colorado a few weeks ago so my 2 year old granddaughter learned that it was a place and now says it, and pronounces it as I read it in this post - she's a MA girl it sounds like this: Cod-oh Wah-Doe with a little extra emphasis on the ah.

My daughter said Caddarada. Why go l when you can d, I suppose.

They tell me I called the Alexandria Monument (G. Washington Masonic Temple) "Amafamia Monament" when I was 4.

I found out later my step-grandmother's father was a big-cheese Mason when it was built.

Coddo Waddo is bought and paid for by the scheming leftwing.
