    It is pronounced “simmer on” or “simmer own” in NE NewMexico & the Southwest. The story is that 2 cowboys were sitting by the campfire, near the river, trying to cook beans. But, because of the high altitude, which means water boils at a higher temperature, they could only get the beans to simmer & not cook. In frustration, one kicks the pot over & says “simmer on”.
