Do you say hammock or hammick

[TrailSlug]

I hear many people say the word hammock as in ham mock but her in the south most of us say hammock as in ham mick. How do you say hammock?

Hammick, creek not crick, root not route, aunt not ant

No joke, my friend's entire local family ( Mom, uncle, older brother) say Hammerk. Like Hammer with a "k" at the end. He doesn't say it like that, in fact we both say Hammuck, and when we get to talking fast it sounds like hammick.

Ham-muck. I've met a couple of people who can't seem to say the word at all. One of the Hammecks once kept calling it a ham-MOCK and he couldn't be stopped.

This a funny topic in my family, I started getting much nieces and nephews into off the ground camping. For the longest time they would say ham Mock, but after being around me showing them how to use it they now say hammick

Yea, that's probably closer to what we say. mick/meck but never mock. Seems to be a northern thang.

This. Closer to 'muck' than 'mick'. Certainly not 'mock'. Now, I get a kick out of people who don't know that Oregon is pronounced 'ory-gun', not 'or-a-gone'.

root not route

I work for a large US company and talk with people at head office a lot (the joys of global IT). I always have a silent chuckle when they call them rooters instead of routers.

Anyway, hammick for me though I'd never thought about it before.
