Where did you grow up MARY?

My childhood was half MEDWAY and half CAMBRIDGESHIRE

 

[ButterTart]

now that I've heard @BlitzenTart spit the word BUSSY to prove us Northerns the winner of this debate I feel like Christmas is COMPLETE. also slightly aroused.

THAT IS AN ALLY.

I’d seen people use the word bussy on here before but it’s only in this thread that I’ve come to understand what it means

I tend to call mine a ‘binge’.

 

[jivafox]

Hopefully we can all agree on the pronunciation of THAT

 

[octophone]

BIN-GUH

 

[jivafox]

I pronounce the I in BINGE like the I in FIND.

 

[Lucille]

BINGE to rhyme with MINGE.

 

[Lucille]

Oh NOW I GET IT.

 

[Lucille]

Sorry bit slow today it’s been a traumatic morning.

 

[ButterTart]

Southerners telling us how to pronounce stuff need to PISS OFF!

Am I right in thinking you’re the only Manchester Moopist who’s actually Mancunian? @MARY being a bit ‘The Old Bamboo’ was quite a shock.

What the hell is THE OLD BAMBOO?

 

[ButterTart]

Fucking hell

 

[ButterTart]

What the hell is THE OLD BAMBOO?

That song off that film that sounds like all southerners.

 

[big ron]

What the fuck is going on?!

 

[Nancy]

ALRIGHT GUVNOR’!

Well this is all enlightening. Hulme is pronounced nothing like I thought it would be. @IguanMoreSleep pronounced all 4 words as close to how do of any of you. @BlitzenTart's is interesting because it does sound like you're saying pussy and fussy differently, even though you said you wouldn't be?

That’s interesting, they sound exactly the same to my ears.

also, it never occurred to me that people would know how to pronounce ‘Hulme’.

How would you southern lot pronounce the following Boltonian places and institutions?
Westhoughton
The Haulgh
Greenalgh’s

 

[Lucille]

I’m SHOOK that you don’t pronounce the L in HULME!

Think so! Born and RAISED, Sis!

Consider the HAIR on my BUSSY SNATCHED!

 

[Iguana]

And Worcestershire please, @RJN

 

[Lucille]

I’d always thought @MARY would sound a bit more TRIGA LAD.

 

[RJN]

 

[Jark]

Tried my best

the absolute pig's dinner you make of Westhoughton to be fair I'm northern and I can't say that one EITHER. and in this case there ARE points for trying

 

[Jark]

@wurst-ershire.

 

[Nancy]

If @Frosty the Snoldi was to join me for Christmas then he’d be MARY’S BOY CHILD!

 

[dmlaw]

It can only be a matter of time before the Scottish Moopers start asking us to pronounce Strathaven.

I looked up how to actually say it after and I don't think I even CAN say it correctly if I try

Let’s start with something easy. Try Hawick.

An American once asked me if "this is the train to harrogate".

"Is this the train to HAARR ODGE AAA TAYY"

No. It's not.

 

[Soldi]

No. It's not.

I mean why would you go to HARROGATE in the first place? OVERRATED.

There's a nice pub in the train station

The toilets in the conference centre aren’t bad either.

No. It's not.

Did they think it was in Spanish?

No. It's not.

one of the things that grinds my tits something chronic is Americans over-pronouncing the "gate" of Harrogate or the "bury" of Glastonbury or the "ham" of Buckingham.

BUCKING-HAM PALACE.
GLASTON-BERRY.
HARROW-GATE.
EDIN-BERRRG.

No honey. like all civilised human beings we pronounce as few letters as possible. stop being so enthusiastic.

Harrogaté is actually the original birthplace of the microwavé, funnily enough.
