Four Things That Make Me Exceedingly Happy

1. Jatz with a bit of butter and Vegemite
2. Little e pronouncing 'Vegemite' as 'mudgy-mudgy'
3. Anybody pronouncing the word 'buoy' as 'boo-ee'
4. Writing dumb lists

Well, that list brought a smile to my face :)

Boo-ee!
Na-choes!

so tell me..

ROE-dee-oe or roe-DAY-oe?

RodeoClown said...

What do you think it is?

Ben McLaughlin said...

I'm a bit borderline.

I'd be inclined to say 'I went to the ROE-dee-oe' but say 'I drive a Holden roe-DAY-oe'.

So??

RodeoClown said...

C'mon, commit to a choice!

Ben McLaughlin said...

Gosh, gen y are also very demanding.

I feel a lot of pressure here.

Well, I grew up saying Roe-dee-oe, so I'm gonna stick with that.

Why did you ever doubt yourself Ben?

You have RodeoBrain1.0 in your possession, how could you get it wrong?

hmm. I have never tried vegemite. Not even sure I can buy it. I saw Marmite in a store - is that very different?

How else would you say buoy?

Ben McLaughlin said...

wow. never tried vegemite. I'd be prepared to post you some. marmite is like the poor distant cousin.

in oz we pronounce it 'boy'. I'm happy to hear that you say booeey though!
