[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago

It’s actually pronounced more like β€œmurn doo”.

It must be nice for British people when they get home and can take a load off and can stop doing the accent

[–] Doxanarchy 6 points 3 weeks ago

There are almost 40 different British accents and dialects that sound very different from each other.

THAT'S how Americans think British people pronounce it? I was looking at the image for ages trying to sound it out.

Please tell me no one seriously thinks this?

"Worst" case I can think of is "Bo'el o' wa'er" and even that is incredibly limited to like...four boroughs of London.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

yeah cuz "bo'el o' wa'er" is soooo different from the meme lmfao what

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It is. The meme has four glottel stops, this has three. The meme has the "el" removed, this doesn't. Weirdly, the meme has the "o" sound removed for for "of" as well.

It's an entirely fictitious way of pronouncing something, it equates a very, very small subset of the country with "Britain" and is a great example of "fake American British accent" becoming the "norm" to the extent where British voice actors are training to put on voices to sound "more British" (such as Tracer in Overwatch).

The meme might as well say "burdle der wurder" and claim it's how American's say it - kinda close, but also really far 🀷

I have no idea how British people pronounce it, I don't believe I've ever discussed water bottles with a British person. I jut saw the meme and was reminded of another meme I'd once seen.

Why'd you timestamp it right at the end of the video, tho?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Uh, by accident. I'll edit the link.

[–] Sanctus 1 points 3 weeks ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago
