My 3 old maid aunts called themselves "wants or onts" as did/does my family from CT - Tony has "ants" ...I am guessing it is more northeastern? where, as in many places, you have the good the bad and the ugly in pretentious- aren't pretentious people annoying???? My neighbors say "ant", things you step on pronunciation, and they are VERY pretentious :D :D :D
