I wanted to make sure I wasn't missusing the term. Interestingly enough I am from Minnesota. Rock on! I got here by googling whipping shitties. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missusing the term.

But the emphasis on the first syllable reminds me of my southern roots. TO-boggan. UM-brella. PE-can. VER-mont. Southern speaking is relaxed speaking. In terms of where to put the stress, it's just a matter of getting the hard work out of the way so you can relax with the rest of the word. Never heard of “snoogens”.

The word 'toque' was somewhere between uncommon and rare in the Minneapolis area when I was growing up, but most people knew what it meant, as there were just enough Canucks around to keep us on our toes, eh. --JMike Up in Canada they call that hat a ‘toque’ (pronounced ‘toook’ with a long ‘oo’, not the vowel in the past tense of the verb ‘to take’, but as always I digress).
