One dnd session, the dm described the room as having flaming braziers. He pronounced them as "brassieres."

We never let him forget.

I've only ever heard it pronounced bruhzears so now I'm confused.

is this a bit? that is the underwear you're referring to, not fire container that I am.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 1 points 2 months ago

No it's not a bit I'm just retarded. That makes a lot more sense though

The magic of the modern day means you can type "define" or "pronounce" then any word into Google and it'll tell you how to say it. There's also an absurd amount of YouTube pronunciation videos for basically every word that exists.

Not that there's a problem asking, this is more advice for future words your friend doesn't know. So you can help them. The dummy.
