I just realized that I say "HUNt-N" instead of "Hun-ting" .

This applies to any similar combination of sounds. For example, you surely say "Mount-n" instead of "Moun-tain".

Astute observation, my dewd

Was watching a video about 5 min ago of one of my old coach pitch games from the 80s and heard a kid say "wadn't."  The north central kansas drawl was thick throughout the video. It was also awesome.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Is it dads everywhere or specifically dads from the Midwest who say “we needed that” after a heavy rainstorm?

It wasn't until I moved to Boston that I realized that midwesterners say "Prinner" instead of "Printer", or as they say it there, "Prin-tah"

yeah and new yorkers have this crazy way of saying "wanted" and other similar words, with huge emphasis on the T and last syllable

Midwesterners absolutely HATE adjacent consonants and will swallow one or both with impunity. It is known.

Love asking my mom how much rain they got and her responding with 70-hundredths, 80-hundredths, etc.

My dad recently started updating me on precipitation at the cat ranch but he uses tenths... "got 7 tenths of rain last week"
