minus-squareWarpedtwistedbody@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 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.
minus-squareKissaki@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-24 months agoI mean, there’s emojis like bee snuggle fox available
minus-squareGamers_mate@beehaw.orgOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 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-up0·4 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-up0·4 months agoWhat? Not in my accent. Is yours one of those where “claws” and “doors” rhyme?
minus-squareJackGreenEarth@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoHow else would you pronounce them?
minus-squareℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agodifferent vowel sounds (short A like “father” versus long O like “oat”) different final sounds (one ends with the mouth still on the vowel sound, one ends with an R sound)
minus-squareℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoClose enough, though “doors” is one syllable when I say it. Definitely not even a slant rhyme, though.
minus-squareGamers_mate@beehaw.orgOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoYes Claws and Doors rhymes in my accent.

minus-squareKamirose@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 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.
