T's Way of Speaking ... or Odor

I've also thought that T's diction had a particular uniqueness to it. Maybe a little hip-hop. A certain street toughness. Maybe her upbringing in the Bronx. Maybe that's how all kids in Nyack talk? I recall a Filipino kid from college who grew up next to her had a similar sound to his speech.

I'm calling it the Nyack-ccent.

I suppose that can homophone as the particular odor of someone from Nyack.

Nyack-scent.

Suggested Olympic Events


  • Underwater Breathholding. To mitigate safety concerns, could do a fixed distance and see who swims fastest. But I personally like the idea of the competitors just sitting there staring at eachother seeing who gives up first.

  • The Long Fall. Just what it sounds like -- see who can fall from the highest height.

  • Gymnastic Vault Jousting. Just like the woman's gymnastics vault...just that they try to destroy eachother. (Has the same appeal as chess boxing to me)
  • Team fencing. Can anyone say Three Musketeers?
