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...

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

I think I'd genuinely rather hear a southern drawl over a Wisconsin twang. Have you heard how they pronounce bagel? The worst!
