kripke has admitted to going on the internets after each show airs to find out what the fans think.

TWO QUEENS! and he wouldn't stop saying it and looking at them meaningfully! EEEE!

Dude! Hadn't heard that. I knew JAYred did, but not Eric. EEE!!

it is true!

hey, lav, can i ask you a question? where did the jay-red thing come from? i mean, i kind of assumed it was a southern accent thing, but i haf assessed with many people from many different parts of the south, and it's not that. so, um. whuh?

I have no clue as to the nitpicky details of who/when/where/why, but I imagine it came about as a spin on the whole Texan/Texas accent thing.

Depending on what part of the state you live in, that tends to be the common pronounciation. I grew up in Dallas, so I don't have quite the same accent (and I've spent the past 8 years beating my old accent outta me, to boot), but my Dad's a small-town Texan from Lubbock and he drawls like you wouldn't BELIEVE. Any a's get prounced like "ay" or this weird cross between "ah" and "uh" with him. ^^;;

get him to say "jared" one day, will ya? i've heard a buncha texans say it ain't so, and i'm really curious. :)

Remember that Texas is friggin' HUGE. Different areas have different accents. Go to East Texas and you'll hear more of a Louisiana influence, go up to the panhandle and people will sound just as general-midwestern as they will straight-up Texan, and so on.

And I've got a step-cousin named Jared - he says "Jayred" on a fairly regular basis. Either that, or he'll do a "bear" sound - like "Jehr-ed".

i know, i know, i'm talkin all-over texans.

most of 'em would point at that -ehr sound. up here in alberta, we do a fair share of chewin' on the R ourselves. :) sometimes the vowels totally disappears in it: jerrd. just like when jensen says it. *beams*

well thanks, though! i figured it was an accent thing, and it is too. :)

Heh. It also depends on personal circumstance - how the individual speaker is accustomed to saying/pronouncing things. Even physical details - shape of the mouth, teeth, size of the tongue, etc. It all affects how you speak.

The whole trademark accent think is kinda funny to me - last year when I went back to DFW for a family reunion, I hit a restaurant with some cousins and the first thing the waiter did was ask where I'm from and make the observation that I'm "ah-bvee-usly not fr'm uhround heere".

I had to explain to him that I was born here, actually, and I moved away from TX I was 16.
