Title: Re: Speaking of poinsettia Post by: spacey on December 19, 2006, 10:31:48 AM I learned to pronounce it "poin-set-ee-uh" but we're sort of stupid around here...
Title: Re: Speaking of poinsettia Post by: JDerion on December 19, 2006, 10:39:18 AM We tend to add syllables where none exist, and subtract some from their rightful place. We also freely add consonants where we think they should be. Hence, point-set-a. If you said "poin-set-ee-uh" you'd be preemptively gay bashed on sight, even by frilly libs.

Uh, you're gonna have to explain (describe) that one. ???Title: Re: Speaking of poinsettia Post by: spacey on December 19, 2006, 11:12:06 AM Speaking of which, can someone please explain to a stupid as hell mid-westerner (roughly) WTF with the Carl's Jr. Philly Cheese Steak Burger commercial? Uh, you're gonna have to explain (describe) that one. ???Would that I could. A couple of mushmouthed taxi drivers saying things like "boygu." Thank god it's captioned for the non-intellectually impaired. Title: Re: Speaking of poinsettia Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on December 19, 2006, 11:18:18 AM Both.

Without seeing it I'm guessing it is two italian looking guys who are uttering nonsense at each other using an exaggerated Brooklyn accent that most people think is a Philly accent, but isn't even close in reality.I won't see it since we don't have Carl's Jr. here. Further, no fast food chain would ever promote any kind of "philly cheesesteak anything" in Philly because if they did they would be preemptively gay bashed on sight, even by frilly libs.

Title: Re: Speaking of poinsettia Post by: stroh on December 19, 2006, 11:35:39 AM It's definatley POIN - SET UH.
I pacifically remember going over this in school. You don't pronounce the I, irregardless if it's in there or not.

(stranger in a strange land)
Oddly, over my time there, I completely lost my Pittsburghese accent and started to mimic the speech patterns of those around me once I grokked them (I went to school with a lot of folks from NYC, LongGuyLand, and jersey) Title: Re: Speaking of poinsettia Post by: worst_golfer_ever on December 19, 2006, 02:59:38 PM Neither. Poin-set-tcha
