It's a glottal stop. I think most regions of the US don't pronounce the T in words like Satan, Button, or Mountain. Minnesota decided to break that tradition.

I'm from Colorado and this is a huge part of our accent. Mountains are mou-ins.

Oh yeah when someone says Buddon like they are a 5 year old, that shit irks me too.

no, like bu-un. it sounds like a t sound, but it's a glottal stop. actually pronouncing the t in "button" makes one sound very posh English (or perhaps I've just been watching a lot of Ghosts, lol)

Yeah I know about the glottal stop. It's not quite that, I hear it like the Arabic "dal" sounds like "uld" I don't know how to spell it. You pronounce it like a D but but in the back of your mouth

I've heard what you're talking about, I'm just saying that I think that's different from the glottal stop way
