I did not realize it but I do the exact same thing
It is pe-Kahn. A pee can is for when you dont want to go to the outhouse on a cold night
So the story goes something like this:
A yankee returned from his first ever travels to Florida and was asked his assessment of the south. He replied, “It was fine except the poverty level got worse the further south we drove, at least until we hit Florida.”
”When we drove through Virginia all the signs read, ‘Very Clean Restrooms’. NC boasted ‘Clean Restrooms’, while SC only claimed just ‘Restrooms’.
But once we crossed the GA line for miles and miles we saw nothing but signs for ‘Pee-cans’!
Also, Peecan Pie is easier to pronounce.
In all instances it’s pee-can, except when you’re talking about ice cream which case it’s pee-Kahn why is it like that? Idk the southern dialect is a tangled web.
I'm from North Carolina and it always has been and always will be pee-can pie.
YES! From Albany!! Albany speaks!! This!!! ^^^
Oh no! I think I've done that
I lived in Albany as a child (and elsewhere in South Georgia), but I pronounce it the right way unlike most people in Albany including my relatives all of whom are educated.
Go, Dawgs!
It's just about the only word I can understand when Ed Orgeron says it
LOL, I love it when Harlan talks about the high tension wires and Southern counties!! Hilarious.

On the West Coast we called them "Pe Kahns". Pee-cans sounds like something you whizz in.
PIE !! Pie’s coming
Pee Kahn is technically correct although I still like to say Pee Can.
Probably because it has a dual meaning on long road trips.
What's weird for me, is I actually use both. If I'm referring to just pecans alone I say it like pe-KAHN. But if I'm referring to a pie, i usually say Pee Can pie. Go figure
I hate to muddy the water, but let me establish my credentials first: my grandparents were pecan tree growing farmers in S. Ga., and as southern as fried chicken, and I was taught Pe-kahn, not Pe-can.
Crazy. I’m from south Ga as well and it’s called Pe-can. I’ve never heard anyone from Dublin south say it any other way.
This video may explain the reason for the difference.

A pecan taste better than a pakahn. Just saying
Based on the responses, I'm thinking it's all based on the localized dialect. One county says pe-cans, two counties over it's pe-kahn.
Had a friend in college that got transferred from Athens to Albany Ga with his Job. Said the hardest thing he had to do at first was pronounce Albany as the locals did. He grew up in Metro Atl where we most all pronounce it All-Ba-Nee. He married a life long Albany girl that made sure he said it "right." Either All-Ben- Nee or All-Benny depending on what side of town you were from. I took his word on it and always told his wife "I enjoyed my visit to All-Benny......."
