February 9, 201115 yr So we have a problem with names, but nobody has an issue with the hardest part of the job being he can't get a burger? Not really, I understand what he was trying to get across. No way I would ever want to be president.
February 9, 201115 yr WOW Clyde, Mrs. Wolfe and Mrs. Hennigan would be proud. I didn't even know what a 'perjorative' was until I looked it up! Here you go using it in it's exact meaning and pretext. :p Being that I'm older than you I give all credit to Mrs. Thompson.
February 9, 201115 yr When I say "W" out loud it comes out "double U" So when you tell someone a web address it comes out "double u double u double u.....?"
February 9, 201115 yr As one who voted for President Bush I never once thought that "Dubya" had a negative connotation. I thought just the opposite. The majority of the time the negative name was "Georgie."
February 9, 201115 yr So I guess I'm coming across as old school on this one. I've just always that the the POTUS should be addressed properly even if I disagreed with him. I don't call President Carter "Jimmy" and I don't call President Clinton "Bill" and I don't call President Obama "Barry."
February 9, 201115 yr Author So when you tell someone a web address it comes out "double u double u double u.....?" Drives me crazy about 700 WLW's news breaks. I'm sure that's the best radio way to say it, but I'm a hick. They really stress the "double u l double u."
February 9, 201115 yr Author As one who voted for President Bush I never once thought that "Dubya" had a negative connotation. I thought just the opposite. The majority of the time the negative name was "Georgie." I must be way out of the loop, b/c I never heard him referred to as Georgie.
February 9, 201115 yr So when you tell someone a web address it comes out "double u double u double u.....?" Pretty much.
February 9, 201115 yr So when you tell someone a web address it comes out "double u double u double u.....?" My guess is you don't tell people to look up http://www.twitter.com etc... Like I tell my buddies to check out Barstool or twitter or drudge. I never ever say www. (anything)
February 9, 201115 yr My guess is you don't tell people to look up http://www.twitter.com etc... Like I tell my buddies to check out Barstool or twitter or drudge. I never ever say www. (anything) I don't but Hounds does.
February 9, 201115 yr So when you tell someone a web address it comes out "double u double u double u.....?" I can't speak for IM4HOUNDS, but in my case, yes, I do. I have never said dubya in my life, always double u.
February 9, 201115 yr I don't but Hounds does. You get the point. Nobody that I know says www. Count me as one that doesn't pronounce it dubya.
February 9, 201115 yr I can't speak for IM4HOUNDS, but in my case, yes, I do. I have never said dubya in my life, always double u.I know a guy that actually says "double ya", not "double u" or "dubya", but "double ya"... Weird. :idunno:
February 9, 201115 yr So when you tell someone a web address it comes out "double u double u double u.....?" Yep. The proper way to say it, if we're being honest, is "double u". "Dubya" is a hillbilly way of saying it.
February 9, 201115 yr Yep. The proper way to say it, if we're being honest, is "double u". "Dubya" is a hillbilly way of saying it. I must hang with and listen to a bunch of hillbillies. I hear it a lot especially when people are reciting a website quickly.
