How do you pronounce this place?

Asked by SmartAZ (1807points) July 11th, 2016

Is it “Fluhther” or “Floother?” Any comments you care to add? Jokes are ok too.

Ok, that also explains the frequent mentions of jellyfish. Thanks.

Rhymes with “brother” and “mother.”

“This place” ???? :(

that should do it

It is pronounced /‘flʌ ðɚ/,

Or, you could go all gangsta and call it “flutha.” lol

I’m trying to figure out why the OP would think it could be pronounced “Floother.” I’m casting about for examples where “UTH” is pronounced “OO”. Can anyone help me out?

SmartAZ's avatar

@Dutchess_III I’m thinking of the famous preacher Martin Fluther, and Mike Auldridge the famous luthier.

Dutchess_III's avatar

That’s a point…like, “Lutheran church.”

@ZEPHYRA I hope I have not caused offense.

@SmartAZ no, but I’m sure you’ll grow to love it too. It may even become part of your daily routine!

You can pronounce it anyway you like, as long as you don’t call me late for the pancakes. Especially the nekkid pancakes.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Oh. God. Turn off the lights ‘cause I don’t wanna see..

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

There is no shame when a pancake is nekkid. We must rejoice in the free pancake!

LET PANCAKES BE FREE!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Ah…for some reason the thought of “bushes and bush whackers” is running through my mind right now, and it’s all mixed up with syrup and butter because we know it’s NOT THE PANCAKES THAT ARE NEKID!

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

Mmm…butter.

@MrGrimm888: It rhymes with “mother” and “brother” as stated above, and as stated in the Fluther link provided by @Mimishu1995.

Thanks jca. That’s how I had been saying it. Just lucky I guess. Thanks for clearing that up.

The link I provided has one of the creators of this site, Ben, pronouncing the name at the beginning of the video.

MrGrimm888's avatar

Sorry jonsblond . I don’t always click on links…

jonsblond's avatar

^Neither do I. I usually mention what the link includes, but I didn’t this time. My bad.

MrGrimm888's avatar

It’s all gravy. Happy to be here.
