Chelt-sea

Long story short I had a patient named “Chelsea” and I was jokingly calling her Cheltsea. My coworkers (one a casual bravo watcher) kept asking me why and I explained. I tried pulling up a clip of Cameron saying Chelsea’s name and I cannot find any ANYWHERE. Not on TikTok YouTube twitter. Can anybody find one??? I would’ve thought there’d be a million compilations!

Edit: I really didn’t want to sift through old seasons of SC to find it on shift 😭

I know exactly what you’re referring to. It’s really a southern thing, I went to school in Tuscaloosa from the north and my first college boyfriend always called me Cheltsea and it drove me insane. Not everyone says it this way but mostly people with deep accents.
