Most people I know say "pe-CONS," but my grandfather who was from Kansas and lived in Missouri most of his life actually said "PEA-cons." I've never heard anyone else mix the two pronunciations like that.

Pecans - and we pronounce it "puh-cawns" with the accent on the second syllable.

Here in Philly, we say it like our Jersey neighbors.

If someone says pa conns here, it sounds like they're putting on airs. Much like if someone were to say vAHse for vase.

@Kachina624 that's a nicer meme than I've seen. The one I keep seeing on Facebook has a photo of several Porta-Potties for the "pee cans."

I grew up in NY and we say it like NJ and Philly. We also said ANT and not ONT for Aunt.

Born in Jersey and living in New England for 50 years, I still say "ANT" too, You would never catch a Jersey girl saying "ONT:! Also, it's KAWFEE for the morning beverage

It's a regional thing. I grew up in the Midwest and my mom always pronounced it PEA-cans.

I hear it pronounced both ways here in PA. I always say pea cons, my siblings say pea cans.
