minus-squareWarpedtwistedbody@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-23 months agoIt has confused me, as I (And friends) pronounce it Bee Whore. It has made me look at bees in a new way. No shaming of bees, please. Edit: Maybe this is to do with my British accent?
minus-squareKissaki@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·edit-23 months agoI mean, there’s emojis like bee snuggle fox available
minus-squareGamers_mate@beehaw.orgOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·3 months agoCute emoji though I am not sure if that is a Bee sized Fox or a Fox sized Bee.
minus-squareGamers_mate@beehaw.orgOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 months agoI think that is how most people pronounce it because Yee haw kind of sounds like yee whore. though it has a very different meaning.
minus-squareℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·3 months agoWhat? Not in my accent. Is yours one of those where “claws” and “doors” rhyme?
minus-squareGamers_mate@beehaw.orgOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 months agoYes Claws and Doors rhymes in my accent.
minus-squarerand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·3 months agoIn what accent does a W have an R sound? Australian?
minus-squareKamirose@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 months agoSome northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.
minus-squarerand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoAh, I thought that was largely an Appalachian thing. But I guess that isn’t quite the same since I don’t think “haw” sounds like “whore” down there.
minus-squaret3rmit3@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-23 months agoCertain British accents (like a London accent) have an ‘aw’ in particular sound like ‘or’. Not sure about Australian.
