People who pronounce Obama Obahma

[renard_ruse]

What kind of complete morons pronounce the name of the dufus presently occupying the White House as obAHma (like with a long a or something).

We don't pronounce Alabama AlabAHma, do we? No, we don't. Same thing with the idiot squatting in the White House. The second a is pronounced like it is in Alabama.

And don't even start that the idiot himself pronounces it with some arrogant foreign sounding AH sound. We are Americans, and his name MUST be pronounced as it would be in standard American English (ie the same as the third a in Alabama).

How do you pronounce "squatting?"

In a long history of stupid threads, this may be your crowning achievement.

 

[renard_ruse]

They even indoctrinate little kids to pronounce it ObAHma.

It would almost be laughable if it wasn't so sad.

How do you pronounce "Arkansas?"

We are USSAers, and his name MUST be pronounced as it would be in standard USSA English.

Sieg Heil!, ruse.

Welp, we can't let a black American president's name sound too uppity, now!

 

[BabblingBrooke]

He is not squatting in the White House...he was elected President. Also, pretty sure he knows how to pronounce his name and we should follow his lead on that.

Vowels are often pronounced differently in English, you know.

 

[Wrong Element]

Let's do this with all the presidential candidates!

Henceforth, "Kasich" will be pronounced as if it rhymes with "itch."

Cruz will rhyme with "buzz."

The first syllable in Rubio should be pronounced like the word "rub."

"Fiorina" has two i's that are pronounced like the letter e. That will not do for an American!


It's moments like this when I wonder if rhymes-with-tard is some sort of lefty parody, because this level of dumb seems incompatible with knowing how to breathe without frequent prompts.

Cheney is pronounced wrong too.

It's Chee-nee.

 

[Hard_Rom]

That could be Aymerican English spoken by Reenayrd Russee

 

[about_average]

I'm guessing the OP is related to the teacher in 10th grade who corrected me on the pronunciation of my last name on the the first day of school.

 

[MrRandyWatson]

So am I to assume "Bush" should have been pronounced to rhyme with "douche"? Because that would make so much sense.

 

[Aglaopheme]

It's all a ruse. From the Latin word rursus meaning backward.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Susrur? interesting tag. No one would ever figure it out.

No. Because the H is not a vowel. Dont ask me why.

Funny

If someone pronounced renard with a T instead of an N, everyone would still know he was talking about you.

Explain Jose Maria Olazabal to me.

They pronounce it Olath-a-bal.

 

[phrodeau]

Didn't we just have this discussion about Boehner?

 

[Killswitch1]

Koch brothers?

By rights it would be pronounced Cock or "cotch"

 

[Hard_Rom]

How about pronounced coke?

 

[IrezumiKiss]

This thread is funné!

Fixed your post.

There are tears rolling down my cheeks. Ha!

When I was a kid, I went to a doctor whose last name was Koch, but he pronounced it like "cook." I've never seen anyone else with that last name who pronounces it that way. The evil brothers pronounce it so that it rhymes with "crotch." As do the former mayor of New York and a former baseball pitcher.

Now I'm picturing the Family Guy episode where Peter said a tree ate Ed Koch, whom he described as "asexual."
