I don’t know. I can’t hear you pronounce it.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice-recognition software will only respond to flew – tha. I always feel like a complete idiot saying that! I must re-train it….

I like the word Fluther, pronounced properly of course, to me it is like a mixture of flutter + flurry. Just my 2 cents worth.

Fluther is pronounced“Ghlouthyrrh.”
 
Gh as in “enough”
l as in “lust”
ou as in “young”
th as in “loathe”
yrrh as in “myrrh”

Got it?

< < will be trying to incorporate Ghlouthyrrh into his quips from now on. And his profile.

Or feel free to spell it ghlouthol if you prefer.

That’s ol as in “colonal”

@AstroChuck I tried pronouncing it. I think something got stuck in my throat.

@Saturated_Brain if you are taking advice from AC, what got stuck in your throat was your common sense.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

and despite what anyone says, it is pronounced FLUTH – THER. All other pronunciations are verboten and anyone using them shall be “Sent to the cooler!”*

*obscure Hogan’s Heroes reference.
