OK, I was with a few friends and we were discussing possible towns and venues to go to on a road trip. We started drinking heavily, and then we got to this 3 syllable concept. We started pounding our fists on the table, calling out the names of potential destinations, in clear-cut 3 syllable verbiage. We noticed that by far the best places flowed easily, while the lame places sounded forced.
Here are a few examples:
Sask---a----toon
Ed-mon-ton
Van---cou----ver
When we tried to say Toronto, it sounded forced with the 3 syllables, so it was removed (rightfully so). So…my question is, were we just drinking too much, or do the really cool places to visit work out well with the three syllables, and the lame places sound forced??? Minneapolis doesn’t work, but Louisville does. See what I mean???
