Let's try this again...How people/places/things in our hobby are pronounced...

That's right on the pronunciation (he told me too)....but it is spelled Xydias

Not you fat jesus. Slide it on back.

 

HEE MA?? Really?

Hemi as in the enginve is HEM E? right

What about hemi joints? I was told HEM I?

 

I know a guy who can't say "cammer" like Fords single overhead cam motor they made back in the good old days.

says it like cawmer. not sure what that is all about. he's semi normal in other ways.

 

Chrome Molly

 

That ones easy......... EXPENSIVE.

 

Molybdenum

 

those would be Heim joints - pronounced hime

we still call them Hem-e's up here BTW

 

Offenhauser = Off-in-house-er ,..... not Hasenpfeffer= Has-in-fef-fer

(OK thats it, I promise to behave )

Whale

Come to Britain and get REALLY confused.

 

Aluminum.

 

ALUMINIUM.
Thats right, your whole country pronounces it wrong due to a typo many moons ago in advertising literature.

 

I want to know how anyone could've come up with pronouncing Jaguar "Jag-wire". The snooty Brits pronounce it "Jag-yu-war".

 

It's spelled J-a-g-u-a-r but it's actually pronounced , Throat worbler mangrove.

 

Dick goes in ya, Mike Cunt, Fawng YU, ha ha...................

 

I thought it was "throat-WOBBLER-mangrove."

 

This thread is sofa king cool...

 

I think "shap-POOR-iss" and "TREP-an-yay" are the preferred mispronunciations. TV is never wrong.

 

Y'all think aussie's and britts are screwie, get us slant eyes involved and WOW!!!
Edelebrock = edrblock
slantback = srantback
flathead = frathead
and my favorite
isky = iz'kay!!

Well, at first I thought it was going to be interesting but now I have had a change of mind.I think its all downhill after this.I once asked why it was closed before.......now I know.

 

Had a boss that had to call his car a pana-tera.... made me grit my teeth every time.

Willis= stock, willies=modified...
I tend toward the 'mercan COOP, but revert to the French CAB RIO LAY...

 

I used to have a Pook motorcycle

 

Oh come on man it's just getting good............

 

Ahhh, but they don't have a soul, like a Vincent '52. [Richard Thompson]

Howzabout a Hardly-Drivable? or a Beezza?
