Stupid question about pronounciation

[brianp-beme]

How-dee, it's Gow-dee.

I have never heard it differently, but then again I am not Canadian (it's 'aboot' time I revealed this fact).

I've always pronounced it Gow-dee. It never occurred to me to pronounce it Goo-dee, and I don't remember ever hearing it pronounced that way.

Put me in the Gow-dee camp. It would never in a billion years occur to me to pronounce that word "Goo-die."

GOW -DEE


How about bo-men or bow -men ?

But, have you ever eaten "Goo-da" cheese?

Good point. We're having a cook out today. Can't wait to try a Goo-dee on one of the burgers.

I bet I cough before I'm through, though it might even be too tough to chew..

And by the way, Hans, a bad kid, was his mom's onus, until he received his first bonus and became Honus.

Regarding Honus, I would imagine the audio of Glory of Their Times would shed some light on the matter...anyone care to share??

I knew several players who were friendly with Wagner during his coaching days. All called him "Hoe-nus". Interestingly, in spite of the total esteem in which he was held, not one man ever referred to him as "Mr. Wagner".

I'm sure the pronunciation in American hillbilly would sound funny to my ears as well. 😁
