    We might cone up with something worse than American southern accents.

      I grew up in Wisconsin and never heard bag-le. We say bay-gil. But the NW part of the state is a bit unique and basically MN.

        What do you call a seagull at the bay?

        A bagle.

        That’s how we pronounce it in the Northeast, at least. Wisconsin, as I understand, doesn’t have seas or bays, so that joke may not really land…

          Wisconsin has a massive bay, made widely known across the states by their NFL team, Green Bay.

        im assuming that by “bag-le” you mean a pronounciation like “sadly” but the “b” and “g” of bag

        as opposed to by “bay-gil” like “fable”

        wtf
