“I feel like in Maine you’ve just got to pronounce the words like you don’t give a sh** about them.” This comes from a West Coast citizen trying to pronounce Vinalhaven for the first time in a viral video going around created by Movoto Originals via Maine Memes. The short video has six West Coasters trying to pronounce Saco, Vinalhaven, Skowhegan, Isle au Haut, Wytopitlock, and finally Passagassawakeag River.

The name of the town is presented to them along with the phonetic pronunciation, and it’s pretty funny how often the Flatlanders end up sounding like the Swedish Chef.

Now, it’s pretty hard to flub Saco, but they do. As the video progresses, the town name gets harder to pronounce and by the end, even Mainers have to laugh at how badly the last one is butchered. Can you pronounce it?

A real estate company with a sense of humor named Movoto is behind this sharable video. They aim “to create unique, and most importantly, fun real estate related stories.” You can check out more of Movoto’s Maine videos at the following website: movoto.com/blog/?s=maine
