Title the Cellarite
 

Ok, I got this idea while reading a comment LJ made on the "How Important is if for you to be cool" thread...he gave perth some new ideas for his user title. (I thought the "shut up, Jim" was a good one;) )

Anyway, if you could hand out user titles, what would they be, why, and for whom?


Sidhe

Is this another insult thread?:)

No, we already have one of those.

Be nice, bruce...;)

It's more of a "what would you title whom, and why?" thread.

LJ, I told you how to pronounce my name...:p ....but I know how you old folks are with memory and stuff, so I'll refresh your memory:

Sidhe: "shee" gaelic word referring to the fey, such as bean sidhe (banshee) or sidhelien (sheeleen)



Sidhe

Troubleshooter: TFG(tm)

(ask him, he'll tell you what it means....also, I didn't really make this up; he did, a looooong time ago....but it definitely fits him)


Sidhe

So a banshee is a farting fairy?

I remember, it.....it was in the limerick thread.....it's still unpro-friggin-nounceable.

perhaps i should have gone with:

LadySidhe

unique, just like everyone else

warch - Vacuum packed class
Wolf - Dominut
Onyx Cougar - Victim of Purple
Katkeeper - Museum Quality
LJ - Pen Whore
UT - Grand High Elocutioner
Leah - Elephan
plthijinx - Pilots 'n lots
NBN - Photo-very-graphic
Elionwyr - Philly's Phinest
Dagney - Patient's Patience
Homer Jackson - Ready, set, GO!
Griff - Push ups rule
Jinx - Deciple of Mother Theresa

I dun splain nuthin.
:p

It's really not, Jim. It's pronounced just like the English word 'she'.

It's just spelled funny. Those crazy Gaelic!

Only in your little world....

*SIGH*


ok, let me try this again.....

there's no way you'd come up with "shee" from Sidhe

until i asked, i pronounced it " sid "...jinx thought it was "Side-eee" never "shee"

maybe unpronounceable is the wrong word for it.


indecipherable?

as for you, mr dar512.....

dar512

better than dar511
or
colors inside the lines
or
215rad spelled backwards
or
I'm a man, baby!

I knew someone in college named Siobhan - pronounced "Shavahn".

Syc - Mechanically declined.
Lady Syc - Not easily embarrassed
HP - Sold his favorite blow job (Camaro, pigs)
Elspode - Obits to die for
Hi Tech - Peggy Sue got married
Slang - Smokeless or black?
DanaC - Veddy British
Jag - Just rip out my ear phones and say "hey kid"
Juju - Me too

Still dun spain nuthin.:p

The editor of Car & Driver, CSABA CSERE is, I believe, pronounced Saw-baa Say.

LOL, well....yeah ok. Not anymore.
:D

You got some splainin to do. [/rickyricardo] :p

Anything for you Rho. :D

Mechanically declined is the opposite of mechanically inclined.

Not easily embarrassed, well look around a tell me whom you see.

The key to pronouncing Gaelic is simple...*nothing* sounds like it looks, ever.

I have a friend called Niamh... roughly pronounced "neev"...

LJ, Think of it as an opportunity to acquire a bit of culture. :D


Plus, English is just as bad. You may have seen this before:

ghoti

How would you pronounce that in English? -------- Fish.


gh as in tough
o as in women
ti as in motion

I've seen that many times, and for some reason I never remember it until I read the explanation.

ghoti
ghoti
ghoti

Reminds me of a dead Mafia Don.

Sleeping with the fishes! Ha!

That's a long memory you've got there.

I drink, therefore I am
 

Also for the record, I bet I drink way less than most here...just happen to usually think it's a hoot at the time I'm 3/4 in the bag to hang out here ;-)

Gotcha! :D :D

Grand High Period.

I admit I'm overly proud of my current title "Postage doo". It's a strangely complicated yet simple pun.

that's not right.

you would only pronounce the gh as an f after ou. the o in women only changes to i because of the e. the ti needs the on to be sh.

bunk example

you should have told that teacher to go ghuch himself

LJ- addict
UT- sweetie
griff- mr. nostalgia
OC- kitty
wolf- sandy
fnf- mia.......

I like that story - so stop raining on my parade.


Besides, the point is that in English as in many other languages, things don't always sound the way they look at first glance.

Consider the difference in pronounciation between the following pairs of words:

heard -- beard
road -- broad
five -- give
fillet -- skillet

How do you know that those pairs are pronounced differently? You just have to know.

Given that the word 'sidhe' isn't even English, why would you expect to be able to pronounce it as though it were?

dar,

your mastery of the english language is eclipsed only by your deductive acumen.

I have now seen the error of my ways and would like to stop talking about this now.

yours truly,

Dunderjim

Theyre pronounced differently?

((edit))Oh hang on yes they are over there. You guys have the French pronunciation. In British English that pair are pronounced alike)

leave that teacher alone, he was only quoting that great Irishman George Bernard Shaw who was the originator of the ghoti idea. He was into language reform and even sponsered a competition for a new alphabet

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches." (George Bernard Shaw)

.......and he who cannot teach teaches teachers

Actually...teaches gym.:)

Does that mean that LJ must teach woodshop?

Driver's ed.;)

The noun is not. The verb is.;)

Fuck him. We don't need a 73 letter keyboard.:rolleyes:

xoxoxoBruce Ahhh. Thanks. In British English they are both pronounced like skillet:)

Those who cannot teach gym, become guidance counsellors. Those who cannot counsel, become principals.

Sandy? I don't get it.

i think she's making a south park reference

We just saw Niamh Parsons in concert last night, and they pronounced it 'neeve'. My opinion is why bother with English letters at all if you're not even going to try to pronounce them in anything like they were intended. Why not just spell the name "Neeve"?


BTW, Niamh Parsons is a nice woman and a great singer. Jeffrey and I had a great time.

And those without pricipals(ples), sell cars.;)
