Wait, rogue and vogue and not pronounced the same? :confused:

Maybe they're thinking of rouge, like the makeup?

I don't know what Tony was talking about with the soft g stuff. I was just gonna let it go by, but now since you guys are already breaking his balls....

When the Rogue first came out, many people called it a Rouge. There were even a few bulletins from NMAC misspelled that way. Roje. such Roje. So Very. Much AWD. good times.

But the Much/Very Doge, do you pronounce that like the g in Pogues, or the g in giraffe, or the g in rouge?


I say it like it rhymes with "Pogues," except the O is elongated, like a very Southern ou dipthong.

I've always said Dough'G

D'oh'G

Doag?

lol

Slate's article on pronouncing it

This article suggests that the soft g is because it's a historical word and the youtube I linked earlier is how to pronounce that word.

But the Slate reader poll:

"You like dags?"

I'm goin' with Doge with the hard g, as the car's name; because if it's Roge with the hard g, it's the same pronunciation as the original name Rogue.

Be careful no smartie pants adds an extra 'd' to Doge!

Congrats on the new wheels, UT. :thumbsup:
