Frank pronounces it "tore." (I think most people pronounce it "too-er.") Is that some sort of regional accent, or does he just say it weird?
 Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho? |

Brooklyn friend of mine has a joke when a girl tells him she´s looking for a job he sez I can get you one 35 an hour, planting tulips.
She sez Where?
He sez On my cock.
It doesn´t work here because tulips is pronounced choolips and not two-lips.

There's an audio clip in a Books song where the narrator discusses how, in the South, it's possible to turn a single vowel into two syllables, for example: twelve becomes tway-elve. It's quite impressive really.

I live in the Southern United States and I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced tore in my life. Everyone over here says tooer. Personally, I say toor, unless I'm being lazy and let my Southern accent loose, in which case it's tooer (a little bit of a difference).

Have you watched fan zone? That's what they call it on our networks. It's the replay of the match day game where a (drunk) fan of each team provides running commentary. I'm telling you, when it's a fan from Liverpool debating a fan from Manchester, I can't understand a damn thing. Them Sousers are soused! Well so am I, but I still don't know what they're saying. But it's the funniest show on TV.
Hearing Rooney reapetedly called Shrek is pretty good smack.

The "three" thing: some folk can't pronounce "th" but instead say "f" while others are chav types, not at school to learn, lazy english.
Anyway, how come Americans can't understand English? I don't get it. I thought you spoke it  |

Sorry, I watch a lot of EPL, and especially on "Fan Zone" I can't understand half of what they're saying. But it's hilarious none the less! The English really really like football.

How come all the Brits pronounce "three" as "free"? Is it the bad teeth?
I mean come on, the Queen would be ashamed of how badly your footballers pronounce "fings".

Well, I'm beginning to believe it's regional, but I don't know what region of the U.S. it is. I'm beginning to suspect the East Coast/Northeast. I saw a website once that showed where certain pronunciations came from, but I can't find it now. I did find this really cool site, though: http://accent.gmu.edu/browse_atlas.php

That's so weird. I swear I'd never heard it "tore" before until I heard FB say it a bunch this year on radio interviews and whatnot. For example, every single report I've even heard about the Tour de France has it pronounced "toor." Or at least that's what my ear hears.

It's a French word, so I guess the French way ("toorr") is the right way...
