homeschoolmom Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 You know, this is rather off topic... but I was thinking today... If Phazzan pronounces Brisbane as Briz-burn and Phazzan as Farzarn... How does he pronounce Phatmass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 HEY NOW!! I'm just trying to learn how to talk Australian... How am I supposed to know which words you pronounce correctly and which you come up with some rediculous alternate pronunciation??? It seems rather random to me. No rhyme or reason to it at all. And you call me stupid... sheesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazzan Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Mom, it's like this. Americans have this strange and disturbing tendency to emphasise each syllable in a word, hence 'MelBOURNE' and "BrisBAYNE". Australians are more casual, recognising in all their vast superiority there is no need to glorify each syllable. Hence we say 'MelBUrN' and 'BrisBUrN'. Like do you Americans say 'Wed-nes-day'? Of course not. The moral of the story here, is to be more Australian. Be more Australian peoples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phazzan Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 [quote]Imagine that, we pronounce it the way it's spelled... [/quote] So do you say, Wed-nes-day and Feb-ru-ary?

p0lar_bear Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 [quote name='Phazzan' date='Jun 5 2004, 08:42 AM'] Hey, HEY, I never once said I liked VeraMaria. :angry: Even if I did, she'd be too young to do anything about it anyway, for few years [i]at least[/i]. But that's a different story altogther, I don't like VeraMaria (in that :wub: way), I just want to help her overcome her infatuation issues with me. Poor girl sends me 20+ pm's a day, that's too many for my inbox folder let alone me. I feel so sorry for the poor girl, she's obviously in :wub: with me, but I don't understand why she has such a difficult time admitting it. I think she fears rejection, but it's not like if she asked my hand in marriage I'd let her down bad, I'd try my best to be the most gentle and polite I can be. I understand she has feelings, and I don't want complicate the situation more than it already is. I'm here for you VeraMaria, but only as a friend. With :wub: Phazzan [/quote] You are a sad, strange little man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theculturewarrior Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I tried vegemite once. I thought it was okay. But certainly not better than peanut butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
