Sundae's List Of Words To Purr

Remember the CLIToris or clitORis debate? Remember Sundae saying she would make all my dreams (well, this one anyway) come true by pronouncing the word with a sexy British accent? Got a wurd for hur to purr? Add it to my list.

Clitoris
Bastard
Cock
Pussy

:D

Not that we don't trust you or anything, but we really aren't that imaginative. Maybe you could record a sample.
I mean, if you can find a well spoken English girl. :p

Then... Futher Mucker. Just to compare to Dana's entry. (:p )

Can we get Nigella Lawson to provide some samples as well? :D

Sundae's voice is as sexy as any English girl's I've ever heard.

Another amendment:

Saturday,
twat,
and, more

Has she even found this thread yet? Hey Sundae, over here! *waves*

antidisestablishmentarianism

I honestly hadn't seen this thread!
Sadly, I don't think youtube will countenance a list of the words asked.
I'll put it up under an innocuous title and hope no-one reports me.

I'll record sometime this week and take it down after a couple of days
I'm about to be a pillar of the community you know!

I don't hold a candle to Nigella. Even I go weak.
But I doubt I could beat Dani on the good old Anglo-Saxon cursing. She has more vehemence. Think Boudicca.

Oh, do you want me to purr?
Or say them as I would in a sentence?
Either way I expect to appear very silly :)

Make a sound track while filming the cat. ;)

Excellent suggestion...

I would also like to add 'Gravdigr' to the list of words.

If those others come out as sexy as I'm hopin, I may have myself a project...:D

Sundae, you can set the privacy of the video to only those you share the link with. That way no random person will flag the vid.

Here 'tis
You might have to turn the sound up - I don't have my voice back totally and on replay I couldn't even make some of them out myself.

FTR:
clitoris

cock
pussy
succotash
motherfucker
fuck
suck
horse cock
titty
Saturday
twat
Gravdigr

mental mental chicken oriental

Of course I am well aware that many of these were posted simply to amuse yourselves. They amused me too.

More sensible requests will also be considered :)

I did, but those aren't accent specific, so I thought of all the things thrown in for fun, they were the least funny.

I know, I know - I can write, I can talk and I can edit - is there no beginning to my talents?

But same with blast the faster pasta master. Only one of those words has a different vowel for me (pasta, obviously). Still, I'll hold it in reserve... FSM, that sounds really condescending...! :)

Sadly, I only rate 49.5% on most tests, which make me simply tolerable.
But luckily the Cellar and Diz aren't hung up on those kinda figures and I get me some loving.

No, you are WAY adorable. I'm seething with envy!

Sundae, goddamnit, you sexy cow.

I can testify that the phrase "I just got titty-fucked by a strange man with a giant wooden dildo" sounds splendid with a refined English accent.

If you're ever in Japan on a March the 15th, make sure you attend the giant penis festival.

Wow SG. That was great. Maybe we need to get other dwellars to post saying the same words. That way we could compare regional accents

cuuuuuuuute!

(My favorite was risk it for a biscuit!)

Risk it for a biscuit is an excellent phrase. As is mental mental chicken oriental.

I don't know why I didn't check this thread out before. That is awesome Sundae! Made my day.

I would post myself saying all of that, but I am afraid that I have a terribly boring American accent. Not the nice Texan accent y'all imagine me with I'm sure and I would not want to ruin that fantasy.

To you, your accent might be boring.
Please don't underestimate how excited I get when I talk to Dwellars on the phone. I had NO idea Big Sarge had a sexy drawl; he'd never bothered to mention it.

And regardless of whether you think you have a standard American accent it will still be foreign to me. I love to hear Dwellars speak. Merkin or otherwise.

Oh and thanks to all for the compliments.
I am nearly back to my normal voice and it's nowhere near as breathy :)

No, but your normal voice is still sexy.

I can, if I'm not trying, lol. Its strange, if I'm talkin to someone about accents ect, I'll find myself unconscionably affecting more of an accent. But if I'm tryin to actually talk with an accent, it sounds awful.

Hahaha...I love it. But MTP, you don't sound like a hick! :p: You know what would have been wonderful? If you put emotions into the words that you say. :p:

By the way, in my opinion, it's how Sundae says the words and her expressions that make everything sounds absolutely sexy!

I've always wondered what is the proper way to say Thames.

The best part is where you say "yeah" at the end.

Accint sounds a little more Texan than Accent

I had a friend/cow orker who had taught ESL and she and her colleagues made a hilarious parody of Accent drills.

This was back when snakes could walk so I don't have a copy of it, but I will see if I can remember it and record it. I warn you I don't have a sexy or cute voice like MTP and Sundae.

:p

I will have to dig out my other camera to do a vid...

Oh MTP that was fantastic, thank you!
Your words for Monster really made me laugh because I know why she asked for them.
It wasn't personal to your accent, it's just the way Americans say squrl that cracks me up.

I agree that you don't have a strong accent.
If I met you on a plane I'd be hard pressed to identify where you came from.
I'm not any kind of expert on American accents, but sterotypically I'd expect some sort of drawl from a Texan.

That was all really good fun - and I had no idea your hair was so long now.
Am I mean if I say I prefer it short?
I kinda like you looking boyish ;)

Sundae got it. Thosa are the words I just can't say right in Merkin. Well Arkansas I can, but I wasn't entirely convinced that Arkansaw and R-Kansas weren't two different States when I moved here. And Michigan I can, but I can't persuade Brits not to say it with a big ole ch like church in the middle.

I like the long hair, by the way. I are envious.

So, how do the British say the word "squirrel?"

Is it anything like this little girl?

[YOUTUBE]hn1EAl7jdIk[/YOUTUBE]

yup. maybe even more emphasis on the two syllable thing in some regions.

Ok I never watched the remake before. That so sucks.

Yes, it still comes out a little squirly in that clip.
Very much Squi-rell here.

Unless you're in t'North in which case it is a squir - rull

When I was listening to the Dexter audiobook, the American narrator used the word 'mirror' a few times. I found that fascinating. Like 'squirrel' it is pronounced as a single elongated syllable. Meerrr.

My mind rebels on that one:P I can't quite make my mental voice do it.

Still can't mentally hear it...

I'll consider filming with my obese lip.
But I'm not making any promises.

Me trying to say mirror American-style always reminds me of Kryten trying to say Smeghead. Sounds just like that.

[YOUTUBE]RXKlC8ph7mM[/YOUTUBE]

Mirr-ah!

Actually at school I had a friend who was brought up in Bristol.
She used to say Mirrrrrr
I found it funny. Her Mum thought I was laughing AT her rather than with her and called me a stuck up cow. Not to my face, but my friend duly reported it to me.

Shame, because I was super-skinny and she was large and therefore neither of us were "normal". We got along well til her Mum told her not to talk to me any more. And doubly sad that I went on to make many friends and she was always on the fringes.

I really was laughing with her.

They laughed at me, they all laughed at me when I said I enjoyed Rod Hull and his



E-MOO

They said say it again say it again

E-MOO

They laughed and laughed and made me say it again

E-MOO

You stupid yank, it's

E-MEW!!!!

EEM-YEW! Silly Merkin.
Actually, I myself have been a silly Merkin recently, courtesy of the Mons.
So don't take it personally.

Maybe they were just laughing at you liking Rod Hull?
Only funny thing he did was Attack of the Deadly Dustbins, which was based on Dr Who and later parodied by them.
My bro HATED Rod Hull and Emu. I remember him being violently sick after my Mum gently persuaded him to get over his fear by watching an episode.

Don't make me get my diseased lip out.

Okay, maybe y'all can help me out. How do you pronounce the word "orange." I've been told by a kinder who's teacher taught him to pronounce it differently so he corrected me. :rolleyes: When I mentioned it to someone, she told me yeah, I did pronounce it wrong. But either way if fine. Hmm.....really? I looked it up in encarta.com but for some reason, I can't hear the sound. My problem was with the "o." I pronounced it sorta like "aw" but more relaxed. Phonetically, it's the backward c symbol.

I completely depends on your regional/national accent. Someone ?clodfobble? once linked to a site where word have been recorded in the various accents.

As a Brit, I used to say o - ringe but now I say more awrnj because otherwise people ask me to repeat it. I think maybe I even posted a vid with the whole family saying orange, somewhere........

yes, I did!

[YOUTUBE]eV8z8rV4e7k[/YOUTUBE]

Yups, I'm saying it right. Well, at least the same way as your family is saying it, hihi. :D

So wrong, because they're either saying it the Brit or Michigan way and you're down there in Texas ...where both beest and I can pretend to be born Michigandans and no-one bats an eyelid.

Yeah But Dude caught that in Mo !!!

Then I don't sound like a Texan! :p: How does a Texan say the word "orange"?

I educated Sarge today on the proper pronunciation of squirrel, mirror and orange.
He laughed.
Although he does have some fearsome squrrrls in his locale.

Awww...I want to hear the proper way of saying squirrel, mirror and orange too. :p:

Out STANDING Sunday !!!

:thumb2::luv: So flattered. Sundae uttered my name, hihi. Btw, you sound sexy, as always. ;)

Love the explanation for the redness! I get red real easy too. Lately multiple people have pointed it out although my exposure to sun was just in the car.

not mary-land. Merr-uh-lin or Merrlyn. Depends what part of the state you're from. In the north they sound more yankee and say it in three syllables (though Baltimore is still Ballm're) but in the southern part of the state they tend to slur it into two syllables.

What I find interesting is that brits over-pronounce the names of places from other countries - mary-land or ice-land instead of the US icelun(d), but then you have leicester pronounced as a two-syllable word and warwick as warrick and such. british place-names tend to be pronounced not at all like they're spelled to an american, but then brits over-pronounce any place-name outside of britain.
ymmv, i guess, but that's something i've noticed.

It's not just outside of Britain actually Ibs.

When i first moved to Yorkshire I thought Sowerby was pronounced 'sow-uh-be' but the locals all pronounce it saw-be. Likewise visitors to Bolton wuold see a place called Daubhill and assume it is pronounced Daub-hill. In fact the locals pronounce that as dobble.

Whenever you move to a new place in Britain you tend to find places like that. The only reason everyone knows the p[ronunciation of Leicester, or Worcester is because they are have some national prominence. Places that have no national prominence tend to be pronounced differently by visitors and locals. it's one of the ways you can generally tell if someone is new to an area :p

Our default position is to say it how it's spelt unless we know otherwise. probably because local dialect varies so much and though they're all starting to merge somewhat, those distinctions still survive strongly in placename and surname pronunications.

The ice-land and Mary-land is similar to the way Americans overpronouce 'shire'

Over here it tends to be thrown away as a shuh at the end. Whereas it is over-emphasised as shyer by non-native speakers.


Strangely, in our own placenames we tend to throw the 'land' away too. Portland is pronounced Portlun(d), Stainland near me is pronounced Stainlun(d). Yet I would also pronounce Maryland as Mary-Land.

In Massachusetts, Worcester is pronounced wuh-stuh. How fucked up is that?

That's how we pronounce our Worcester too. No doubt that is a survival from the old country.

Yabbut, it's 'worse-stuh-sure' (worcestershire) sauce. Well, among those of us who don't say 'worshter' or 'wor-sester-shire' sauce.

Special sauce. That's better.

We say wuhstershuh.


Wuhster, being a place in Wuhstershuh

Here's a list of words that I'd like Sundae to say with an air of authority (not purr) and, if she has time, for Clodfobble to say dripping with sarcasm.

Integument
Anaphylactic
Cromulent
adsorption
absorption
Littoral
Literal
Pre-Cambrian
Coelacanth
Dyspepsia
Horn and Hardart
Chock full of nuts
Besmirched
Envisaged
Malcontent
Euripides pants
Eumenides pants

Cromulent. An excellent word. Not used nearly enough if you ask me.




[eta] Only noticed the missing 'n' after bri quoted :p

I can't find my li'l camera. My shiny, new super-duper, dslr camera doesn't record sound.

I have searched the whole house (admittedly that doesn't take long) and it's nowhere. I can sort of half see it in my mind's eye. Somewhere unusual. But can't for the life of me recall where I saw it.

Bloody annoying.

I wanted to record myself saying the same words Sundae said. Bad enough you all think we sound like the queen, now you think we're all sex kittens. Well, I for one intend to disabuse you of that notion. Enough of this purring like a soft, southern puss. I'll be growling the words like a stout northern dog.

I think a lot of the problem is folks from Great Britain aren't fluent in English

There was the story of a young Irish vicar riding his bicycle down the path between towns where he would meet an elderly priest from another parish, and they would discuss matters daily, until one day the old priest noticed the vicar walking instead of riding and asked him "What happened to your bicycle?"

The vicar explained that the bike was stolen.

"Well, then", the old priest said, "Next Sunday, do a sermon about the ten commandments and preach heavily on THOU SHALL NOT STEAL. Then you will surely get your bike back". The vicar agreed and went off.

The next week, The two met again and this time the vicar was again riding his bicycle. "See what I meant!" the Old Priest said. "The power of the Word. The Ten Commandments, and Thou Shall not steal!"

The vicar responded, "Well, not exactly, Father. I was preaching about the Ten Commandments, and I was all ready to preach heavy on 'Thou Shall Not Steal', but when I got to 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, all of a sudden I remembered where me bike was!"

@ Dana, what makes you think you aren't sexiest when you growl like a mad, stout, northern dog?

I am a rosy-cheeked farmer's wife with calloused hands compared to Dani's angular poise and sharp Northern wit. She should be so unapproachable, but then you hear her laugh and realise this isn't someone who will cut you dead with a withering stare.

I'd like to have all the Brits on here, so you can hear a range of accents.
But then I'd like to have the whole damn Cellar on here.

I'd love to hear Gunmaster and York especially! They're proper furrin, but their English is good enough to forget that most of the time.

And I'd love to hear Monnie's hybrid accent. That might make me smile the most.

Foot, I will attempt your list. Although I'm sure 99% must be the same in an American dialect? So I have a sneaky suspicion you require them for a nefarious purpose, and are perhaps looking to splice together parts of my speech for a ransom request or taunting the police or somesuch.

When I read the penultimate entry I thought, "Hang on, surely he knows I have a good enough education to recognise that name and not mangle it?" Then I read the next one and put it together. Some haggis indeed. Not seen that before.

I bet she'll purr 'monnie' for ya. ;)

She would too. Purr it like a spitting cat :)

No difference in the pronunciation of those words between American and English English, so I will decline this round. Lovely to see and hear you Clod. And your attitude raised a smile.

Clod! HAHAHAHAHA! You are teh cuuuuuute!

Never even think about arguing with clodfobble!

Bravo, thanks. Littoral means along the shore. I have no idea how it is supposed to be pronounced.

Exactly the way I pronounced it. :)

Yes, What I meant to say was I had no idea how to pronounce it.

I ate at Horn and Hardart's a few times in the 60's with my dad. When we cleared out his apartment after he passed away, I took the coffee can that I covered in contact paper to make a pen holder for him. It was one of those 2nd or 3rd grade craft things.

Wow. You totally remind me of David Hewlett.

Very cute!

I'd love to hear some of the ladies on here say:

1. cornbread pone
2. fried okra
3. mess of greens
4. poke salad
5. pot liqour
6. grits
7. hog jowls
8. hushpuppies
9. fried catfish
10. stewed possum (yes, I know it starts with an "o" but no one around here says that"
11. Crawdad
12. suck the head

BTW, I'm starving this morning. Can you tell??

Okay, for you, Sarge. Never felt more self-conscious...:blush:

Btw, the sound and the audio doesn't seem to correspond. Dunno why. Same thing happened the second try so I decided not to re-record.

Great Tulip! I love how when you say "grits" it sounds like the word is being formed down in your stomach and barely makes it out of your throat. "Hush Puppies," on the other hand sounds ephemeral, like a bit of dandelion fluff floating on the breeze.
Very musical.

oh tulip, i love it!! nothing like having a hot woman talk about food

3Foot: Um....thank you? :p:

Big Sarge: :D

Tulip you are SO cute!
I want to smuggle you into my house and keep you in the drawer under my bed.

I ain't Japanese but if you pad the drawer real cushiony, I gather that will do. :p: Write on notepad: Will have a place to stay when I visit Sundae. :D

do the Japanese sleep in drawers under beds?

No that's communists.

No. I was referring to a Japanese drawer-style hotel beds.

http://flickeringpictures.com/2008/04/29/japanese-drawer-style-hotel-beds/

And I was thinking of an episode in Seinfeld:
http://www.43things.com/entries/view/907338

(under is what's in the link in case you don't want to click on it)

sleep in an oversized chest of drawers
Seinfeld

( Kramer’s Apartment )
Up against one wall of the apartment stands a very large chest of three drawers. It’s about six feet long and each drawers is maybe a foot and a half deep. Kramer walks over to it and looks into the open top drawer.

KRAMER: Goodnight, Mr Tanaka.

One of the Japanese tourists sits up in the drawer.

MR TANAKA: Goodnight.

Mr Tanaka lies down again, and Kramer slides the drawer shut. He then speaks to the occupant of the next drawer.

You were. Funny I mean, not trying.

I put this in an appropriate thread.
Then thought - what the hell - this is all about the spoken word.

Here is a clip of my walk to work.
[youtube]2dIvLRGyK0A[/youtube]
This might make me a postwhore. But I'm not posting it there too - I do have SOME limits.

Am I weird for thinking that it's cool that you get to walk thru a graveyard twice a day?

Only as weird as me :)
I think it's cool too. After all I choose to take that route every dry day.

Looks spooky to me. I wouldn't want to walk through there late at night

Lovely!

The first house I lived in in Yorkshire backed onto a graveyard. The house was built into the hill at the back (no back door) and the graveyard started a little on the rise. This meant that the ground and graves were level with back windows and the main bedroom which had front and rear windows looked out onto the overgrown grass and graves. Eerie at night.

Very very nice! thank you!

I was thinking at about 1:35... you need more speed! You'll never clear the hedge!

Thank you!

I think it's really cool as well. Every time I see something like this, it reaffirms my resolve to get to the UK someday.

this thread need aussie input.....

Iguana just say the same thing. I'm all swoony over aussie accents.

Just heard an American (on TV) say dossle where I would say DOE-sile (written docile).
Made me think of here.

That's one of those words that varies among American dialects. Down here we'd say "daw-sile."

Clodfobble;741980 wrote:

That's how I'd pronounce it. I didn't know there are different ways to say that word. How else can you pronounce that word?

Also realised that ile has different pronunciations.
Doe-sile is where ile rhymes with bile not bill.

Here's a little humour around accents and class :p


Cultural note: Blackpool is in The North, and is a traditional seaside holiday destination for the working classes.

And just as an accent and class comparison, from the same show: John Bishop. A working-class Liverpudlian:p

[YOUTUBE]8zvSs4ZS6Tc&feature=related[/YOUTUBE]

I do have some new ideas for words:

cockamamie


How about some Yiddish?

Schlemiel
meshugenah

I guess I could reciprocate with some uniquely British words like lorry (etc).

Hey Rich, if you're game for British words etc, I'mm'a request
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

TIA

:D

Welsh?

It's a Welsh placename :p Famously long and difficult to pronounce.

The question is what kind? Do you want a Crocodile Dundee kind of accent or an Adam Hills type accent (see clip below) or a bogan accent (see 2nd clip-Dave Hughes in the flannelette shirt. BTW, N Really SFW) or the elongated oooooooooo of New South Welshmen and Victorians (Paul McDermott, the guy who introduces Dave Hughes could fit into this category)?

[YOUTUBE]KpBYnL5fAXE[/YOUTUBE]

[YOUTUBE]wLbhEsfRpwc&feature=related[/YOUTUBE]

OK, I think it's the Aussie Sheila accent for starters, but Hughes is more of the type of accent I'm familiar with.

I'm also thinking of Toni Collette and Cate Blanchett

I love Cate Blanchett (and have no aversion to her accent).

I was looking around on Youtube for an unpleasant/grating Australian female accent and thought of Pauline Hanson (right wing politician from Qld) and Corrine Grant (comedian)-both having passed the height of their popularity as far as I know. There were a lot of clips, but none that I could bring myself to post. If you're interested, Youtube them and be prepared to dig through a fair bit of crap before you get to what you're looking for and then about 2 seconds will suffice.

What was that aussie sitcom, Kim and something ? They had slightly grating accents as I recall.

Aussie dwellar of course. it's no good if it isn't a dwellar

Their accents were awful (similar to the Dave Hughes kind of accent). Occasionally in the shopping centre scenes, they would visit a 'thing' shop and the shop assistants there (Prue and Trude-also played by Jane Turner and Gina Riley) had upper class Melbourne accents.

I says: Goanna, Ali, Casi, Ducksi (for simetri onli, I know it's 'posed to be a y). Pick a word list, no, repeat the word lists to this point.

.... pretty please?

Please do this, Aussies, we need to educate these yanks... I'm sick of being mistaken for one of you (not that it wouldn't be cool to be from Aus, but they all want me to fix them up with Danii Minogue and show them how to throw a boomerang.......)

I'm starting the Aussie challenge thread

I just checked, WTF is this in Relationships? I'm putting it, some may say appropriately or ironically, in Nothingland.
(mwuah hah hah)

Surely they have better taste than that...tastewise, she is at the bottom of the scale (in an equivalency scale with the US, only slightly above Paris Hilton).

I'd never heard of her, but was impressed by the number of repeated letters in her name. Then I found out that before she multiplied she was just Danus Minogue.

This thread totally made my day. So great to hear you all! Foot, I loved your bonus words -- reminded me so much of my students this past year.
"Miss, what's a HYper-bowl?"
"You mean a hyPERbolee?"
"That's what I said! HYPERBOWL!"

Americans, have fun with this

http://www.sporcle.com/games/usuk_words.php

I managed it with 1.03 remaining.

I was foxed by what you called a boot.
Until I went back to re-guess and realised it was a boot on a car, not the footwear. As I presume you call that a boot the same as we do!

Tried the other one too - MUCH harder!
Partly because some of them were too vague. Partly because I just couldn't think of the right words.
I ended up out of time with four words left - one of which I wouldn't have got given triple the time (the vague one).
And the last one messed with my head because Type was down as Bedding. Bedding to me is bedclothes, not furniture. And also I never use the term given as the answer - it's correct, just not the way I describe it.

Very good fun though.

There were a couple that I was slightly puzzled by. Like you though, I hadn't taken on board the category. For instance: [COLOR="White"]Mother-in-law...well, we use that too! But of course in categories it was housing type. We say 'granny flat'. [/COLOR]
There were also a few that actually we also use. Such as: [COLOR="white"]'baked potato' which was down as a US term with our j'acket potato' as UK equivalent. In truth both terms are used here. If you go to a cafe, it's a 'baked potato' that will be on sale most often.[/COLOR]



[eta] whited out some spoiler answers!

Don't give the answers out!

Shit sorry! have edited to obscure!

It must be different every time, I didn't have any of the words you're mentioning.

There were 6 I couldn't come up with answers for, but only 3 of those I had any chance of knowing. The others were totally new to me. You really call a sweater a "jumper?"

Below the linked quiz, you can click on another quiz.

I've clicked on the link a few times: same quiz every time, unless I go look for another quiz?????

Oh, and thanks Spexx, I'd forgotten about Sporcle. I love some of the quizzes.

There are two quizzes.
Spexx's link and then this one:

We use both words actually. Jumper or sweater.

Here, a jumper is a pinafore. Or a suicide in progress.

This is what I was thinking a jumper was...

right. that's a pinafore.

That was something I learned on the cellar.
From the late lamented Shawnee123 (whatever happened to her I wonder?)

And all of a sudden a something from Stephen King's Firestarter made sense.
Charlie was wearing a denim jumper. What? I just couldn't work it out.
And then I could. Hurray!

Wow - there are so many different words, I knew the languages were slightly different, but this really sounds like much.

Still, its important we understand each other.
