Wait, rogue and vogue and not pronounced the same?

Clodfobble · 08-19-2015, 05:22 PM

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:

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!
