minus-squareWarpedtwistedbody@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-25 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-25 months agoI mean, there’s emojis like bee snuggle fox available
minus-squareGamers_mate@beehaw.orgOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·5 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-up6·5 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-squareGamers_mate@beehaw.orgOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·5 months agoYes Claws and Doors rhymes in my accent.
minus-squareKamirose@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 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.
