Or are you saying one of the four syllables isn't harsh and simply the use of the southern accent makes them all sound harsh?
Well not exactly, Jazzoctopus, it depends on the southerner doing the saying. Take the word "Damnyankee" for example. My buddy Elmo Womack can make all four syllables sound harsh, while his sister Mattie, can make "Damnyankee" sound like music to the ears.
PS to Musick: You are right, If I were to pronouce the word I would pronounce it that way myself.
