Or, if you prefer, an "extry" winner, because extry - pronounced ex-tree - is the answer to my pop quiz from Thursday about how "extra" might be pronounced in York County and other rural areas.
Joe put up a valiant effort; his guess was "eggstra," and he thought my picture clue was an "eggstravganza?" A cool guess, but not quite.
The Other Jo saved face for Jo(e)s everywhere with the right answer - she says, "I'll go with "extry" as in Grand Ol' Opry!" and she's right.
Melanie, with her first entry in an Only in York County Pop Quiz, said, "I'm betting she said 'extry.' And I'd have guessed that without the visual aid of the Grand Old Opry, it's how my grandmother pronounces it."
Way to go! For those of you who looked at the photo clue, here's the undoctored version of the Grand Ole Opry stage:
Now. Here's a super-bonus-question, and all I'll say is that it's related to this pop quiz in some way: What was my favorite way to spend Saturdays when I was 9 years old, the age my daughter is now? (If you're counting, it was 1991.)
I'll embarass myself with THAT answer next week.
