As someone who lived in Gautier for about 5 years, the locals pronounce it Go-Shay.

Too many brain-cells killed at Huck's Cove.

Lived in MS for 57 years. NEVER heard ANYONE "correctly" pronounce Benoit as BEN WAH. The name is ben OYT! Just as Lafayette County, MS: that's la FAY et

Hmmmm...

Bubbe would not be happy with you kvetching with them.

The State park office there sells T shirts that have it pronounced several different ways. They are pretty nifty.

I refuse to watch the crap that "It's a Southern Thing" puts out. Someone needs to take away their camcorder.

Have you ever considered the correct pronunciation of Koscuisko? In Polish, it would be something like cos-squee-sko, accent on the second syllable.

Locals pronounce Gautier as the poster at 6:05 stated (go-shay). The Gautier family pronounces it more like go-chay). The difference is almost imperceptible. at times it sounds like go-tchay. But the rest of the coast pronounces it go-shay.

And everyone from the Coast knows its "The Pass". And if you aren't from below I-10 well then you aren't from the coast :)

I'm from the Delta, and we said it just like YOU say it. In fact, I've never heard anybody say it any other way.

But why is "Saucier" pronounced with the "r?"
