in NYC, don't know anyone who says "yearo", gyro got a hard g. It sounds like "jai-row". Even old rear end greek fuckers at diners say it like that. I count you as a friend OP so yeah one of my friends says gyro like a pretentious cockdick but it's funny because everyone here calls big rear end sammlers "heroes" and i'm almost positive this is some weird borrowing of gyro pronounced like it is far from the shores of America. So sometimes we pronounce gyro like a foreigner but only when we're not talking about actual gyros

I think almost every girl I know pronounces "Yes" like "Enn-oh". I don't get it.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:"Lemme axe you this" (coworker) Joke's on you, the "axe" pronunciation is valid and even predates "ask". The ones that make me twitch are people using "less" in place of "fewer", and "chai tea".

i know someone who seriously thinks bruschetta is named after a town in Italy called "Brusca" where it was invented i'm pretty sure they either dreamt this or just had a false memory enter their head at random, in any case, it is impossible to convince them that there is no such Italian town, and that the word bruschetta comes from the central (Roman) Italian word "bruscare" which means to roast over hot coals.

Another food every smart rear end thinks they're pronouncing right but aren't is "Chorizo".

Turkish sanduskies can be abbreviated in different ways too, turksams, for example, or my favorite Sammaturk

a guy I know mispronounces all sorts of things but he also thinks its funny to use weird words and hokey phrases but he misremembers them and so he comes out with all these weird adages rife with malapropisms like "well you gotta take that with a pinch of sand" and "don't be such a trilobite" (he means, bewilderingly but fittingly, 'troglodyte') basically half the things he says have that echo of the real thing, like when a tv show uses a sound-alike instead of the actual song they couldn't afford to get the royalties to

It might be technically right to say "mature" like ma-tour. But to me, it sounds totally weird unless it's pronounced ma-tchur.

i have a few for myself from when i was young and dumb(er) - i used to say ether like tether in ethernet instead of like either - i used to think the name sean was pronounced phonetically because i had a friend named shawn so i figured it was a different name pronounced seen lol seen "puffy" combs - dressage - inverse: that crt TV line made by sony called wega was actually pronounced vega (at least a salesman at circuit city corrected me one time) so i proudly said that and people never knew what i was talkign about aside: i'm generally a proponent of pronouncing foreign words as closely as possible to the native way but without trying to overdo an accent that isnt your own if that makes sense but people that say "porsche" with two syllables are lame as gently caress

ok like check this if you're going to say a foreign term, you either say the whole thing the correct foreign way, or the whole thing in your own dialect... don't mix the two so for grand prix, it should be either "gr/and pricks" (american) or "grond pree" (french) "gr/and pree" (american + french) is wrong!
