FOTH
Jennywa | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 05:58 pm     I don't see the FOTH thread on the list. Since that is what us West Coasters-and others-are staring at, I thought we needed it again.... |
Dipo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 07:36 pm     too funny!!! |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:52 pm     Out of curiosity, how does everyone pronounce "FOTH"? Do you all say F-O-T-H or do you do it like me and say it like "fothe" which rhymes with .............. will, nothing really but kinda sounds like ........ no wait ......... it rhymes with "oath." I know that's not gramatically correct but that's how I say it. And "FOTH" is a noun. If the feeds cut to the FOTH then I say to myself "I wonder why we are FOTHing?" Well, actually I say that to the cats, but they never respond or even seem to care. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:58 pm     In my minds reading voice, it is foth, as in goth, but with an f of course or like fawth. |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:00 pm     Well you should try "fothe" sometime, it's pretty fun. |
Gina8642 | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:03 pm     Hmmm. Remember first grade and the long and short vowels? I pronounce FOTH as a short vowel, as opposed to long. I can't believe I remember something from first grade!! LOL |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:06 pm     Sometimes first grade stuff is the ONLY thing I can remember. I know, I know, I'm saying it all wrong, I just like saying "fothe." Try it, just try it ....... I dare ya. "Fotheing" is much more fun than "fothing." |
Crossfire | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:07 pm     Yes, exactly, if I could have drawn the o with the curvy line over it, that would have explained what I was trying to say. Cliotheleo on the other hand is using a long o with a straight line over it. |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:08 pm     What about the backwards "e" with the two dots on top of it? Can I use that? |
Wendo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:11 pm     I say it like Crossfire, rhyming with "goth". LOL! |
Gina8642 | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:12 pm     OMG Clio - was that in the first grade? I don't remember that. LOL |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:14 pm     This whole conversation reminds me of another board I post on. One of the posters there used to play in the ABA, the American Basketball League. His screen name is "ABA" and when he pronounces it in person he pronounces it "A-B-A" but the rest of us all say "Aba" like the Swedish rock group. We all keep calling him "Abba" and he just doesn't get it. It's like the whole "gif" debate, is it "gif" like "gift" with the "t" or is it like Jif, the peanut butter brand? Oh well .......... guess you had to be there.  |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:17 pm     Well look at me, I'm stupid. Not the American Basketball LEAGUE, the American Basketball ASSOCIATION!!! Da-huh!!!! Had a blonde moment there, sorry. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:20 pm     Well, you are more honest than I. I would have snuck back in, and made a quiet edit. |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:24 pm     Oh, I do that all the time, but that one was too funny not to point out. Can ya tell I'm a girl! I think my friend played middle linebacker in the ABA, yep, that's it. Or it might have been shortstop. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 11:37 pm     Don't feel to bad about it, I never noticed the first time I read it. Wondering why am I admitting this? |
