Carey rhymes with Hairy, actually. My fiancee's sister is named Carey. It's like Care + eee.
Harry has the long A. Like in Aaaaaaa. haaaaaaa-reee

Carey rhymes with Hairy.
contrast to:
Carrie which rhymes with Harry.

I give up, you just confused me even more. I pronounce Carey and Carrie the same!
you mean Harry is like HARRRRRR-eeee? (like HARRR as in pirate speak)?

If so no wonder she's your ex-gf!

ROFL. No, if she said it like that, we'd be married, and I'd put on my coat and wizard hat!

It's the Ahhh like in HAT or CAT for Harry and Carrie.
Carey has the same sound as Fairy.

So you guys go see the Jim CAAAAAREY movie? That's just nonsense.

So you say "Hah-ree?"

HAHAHAH, whipping shitties - my girlfriend calls them that! What number was that?

I pronounce Harry as Hairy, and Carey as Care+eee, and have actually only heard it differently when spoken by my New England-based family members.

What is with their obsession of 'anymore?'

From the NJ poll:

92. What do you call it when a driver changes over one or more lanes way too quickly?
a. Chinese lane change (3.63%)
b. Chinese fire drill (7.58%)
c. other (88.78%)

45% of New Jerseyans call it "FCKING MORON PENNSIES"
44% of New Jerseyans call it "GODDAM NEW YORKERS!"

LOL. I dunno. For us a Chinese Fire Drill is when at a red light everybody gets out and runs around the car. Never heard of Chinese Lane Change. I've heard Kamikaze Lane Change used, but that would be a Japanese stereotype
