Amherst (but only when people mistakingly pronounce the "h").
Ooh, good one.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great. Now I have to ask how Amherst is supposed to be pronounced.
I've been told there's a guy here at work who loves to creep people out with how he says "moist" but I've been lucky enough to never hear it first hand.
I like to use the word "moist" to make people uncomfortable. See also "damp" and "creamy."

Sitting in doctor's office, bored stiff. iPhone battery is dying. Diamond shoes, they are too tight.

Am-erst. Of course, that's just the college and town in MA. In NH, I believe you pronounce the "h".

Huh. Didn't know there were even two. I'll just keep mum, because there's no way I'll remember which is which.

I pronounce both ts in "gett."

Grrr. It is annoying to sit here when all I need is a prescription refill. Guaranteed she'll spend less than 10 minutes with me after waiting for half an hour.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's also "gren-ich" Connecticut and "green-wich" Rhode Island, right?

I only care because that's my Dad's hometown and alma mater and it came up fairly often in my previous life in academia.
