poossy?

the way Sean Connery said Pussy Galore?

 

[ButterTart]

Fussy like "cusp"

Bussy like "pussy"

Idk, maybe you say CUSP differently too

I pronounce the 'U' in cusp and pussy the same way
I just assumed EVERYONE did.

 

[Tisch]

Fuh-ssy
Poou-ssy

OBVIOUSLY

 

[Tisch]

Maybe this is what @whatisityoucantface can't face?

 

[ButterTart]

Fuh-ssy
Poou-ssy

OBVIOUSLY

Wait, 'POO-SEE'?

That's not really how some people pronounce it, surely?

 

[Indie]

Fussy like "cusp"

Bussy like "pussy"

Idk, maybe you say CUSP differently too

I just sat here for 5 minutes trying to say "fussy" like "cusp"

fusp? FUZZP? FUP? FUZZPOP?

 

[Iguana]

I feel like we've only added to the confusion

 

[Tisch]

Wait, 'POO-SEE'?

I didn't really know how to type it! But it's pʊsi apparently

 

[Beverley]

OMG what have I started

 

[Peekaboo]

Pussy

Fussy

They sound DIFFERENT to me!

 

[Berly]

Fussy like "cusp"

Bussy like "pussy"

Idk, maybe you say CUSP differently too

Cusp? I’m even more confused now

 

[AlgoAlex]

i think we need to use the international phonetic alphabet here people.
If only I could remember more of my linguistics module at uni

 

[Jark]

Fussy

that is absolutely not how that word is pronounced

 

[Jark]

god, POSH PEOPLE.

 

[lolly]

that is absolutely not how that word is pronounced

It's EXACTLY how it is pronounced!

 

[AlgoAlex]

god, POSH PEOPLE.

Hardly posh just southern i’m afraid

LET’S HAVE A HEATED DEBATE at the DREADED VIRTUAL MOOPMEET

 

[Nancy]

@Star Please schedule the HEATED DEBATE over whether PUSSY rhymes with FUSSY down for 8.51pm to 8.54pm.

 

[ButterTart]

that is absolutely not how that word is pronounced

FASSY?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

It is quite telling when the Scots and the South are united about something against the North.

 

[COB]

Hardly posh just southern i’m afraid

It's weird how this is an instance of the southerners and the Scots saying something the same way, and the folk in between doing it differently

 

[Iguana]

Cusp? I’m even more confused now

I just meant I pronounce the "u" in "cusp" the same as the "u" in "fussy"

 

[Tisch]

I just meant I pronounce the "u" in "cusp" the same as the "u" in "fussy"

It was a weird example to choose though

 

[Iguana]

Sorry if you didn't understand.

One of my friends is a word scientist and I asked him to record the correct pronunciation of each word to clear up any confusion. His name’s Dave and we met in Strangeways, not that you should NEED evidence to corroborate my story.

 

[Berly]

Like do you say Fussy more like Sassy?

 

[Nancy]

I say FUSSY like FUSSY and I say PUSSY like PUSSY.

You know, LIKE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO

 

[ButterTart]

Sorry if you didn't understand.

Thanks to this thread, I now imagine you southern lot would pronounce that 'Sarroy erf yor dardunt orndarsternd'.

[dmlaw]

I would be very interested you to know how some of you pronounce the word 'bus' and how others pronounce the word 'pussy' to mean 'oozing pus'.

 

[ButterTart]

Can I have a trophy point for being correct?

I mean, can Dave have a trophy point for being correct?

I didn’t attempt BUSSY as it isn’t a real word so is entirely debatable

 

[ButterTart]

They all sound the same, so you may also have a trophy point.

 

[Nancy]

HOW DO I RECORD THE CORRECT PRONUNCIATIONS PLEASE?

 

[Indie]

I would be very interested you to know how some of you pronounce the word 'bus'

I expect a number of answers to resemble how you'd pronounce these:

Oh I never even imagined you'd pronounce "cusp" like that!

It'll be a Christmas MIRACLE if any of us understands what the others are saying on the dreaded virtual Moopmeet!

 

[Nancy]

HOW DO I RECORD PLS?
