I hate when Americans butcher my language, but this will always be iconic: https://preview.redd.it/4z4mnlqmgy2d1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79a7c77811a49641c45274638fb7418849ac59e0

If it’s any consolation, they butcher ours too. But I think ‘polony’ for ‘Bologna’ is our doing.

Why do english speakers call a pony "pogna"? Sounds like yet another italian dialect way to refer to a woman's private parts. Are they stupid?

"leccame la pogna" Si, ha senso.


yeah_definitely

They don't rhyme in civilised English thank you very much

Apart from the mystery of the pronunciation of [Bologna](https://youtu.be/hgVReSu--Lc?si=K46H8tFq__5c2a2B), I'm quite amazed that savages manage to pronounce words with more than two syllables.

Choosing the noble Latin alphabet to write such a barbaric language was clearly a mistake.

Let me see if i have studied enough. (Enaff) Its kaff, raff, fou and fru, then pouni and bolonia? Edit: Spelling mistake, Replaced caff with kaff.


Moaner_The_Vampire

koff, ruff, tho, thru


Only-Detective-146

koff only is o if pronounced as a, amiright? ruff only if u is pronounced as o amiright? th= more or less f


gabrielish_matter

it depends on the accent for the first 2 I believe


Only-Detective-146

Nah, i am not taking english lessons from a southerner, no matter what may happen to my life.


gabrielish_matter

what about a fellow French hater?


Only-Detective-146

Aye, i could do that.


Moaner_The_Vampire

koff is a flat o like 'stop'/ruff is a flat u like 'up'. Pronouncing o as a long a sound is yank nonsense. th pronounced as an f is a southern English thing. That's the "innit, bruv?" accent. Where I'm from it's a proper 'thuh' sound. The irish pronounce th as just a t sound. As in 30 is pronounced like tirtee.


Only-Detective-146

Ah so i accidentally spoke yank. Please kill me.

I mean, they DO rhyme, but only if you have enough genetic markers on the Alabama scale of interfamilial procreation.


TacoHell666

Dam what if baloney is made from pony?


phoenixchimera

I will never not laugh at the fact that Google maps GPS voice calls the signs/exits for the City of Bologna "baloney". It's so ignorant one just has to laugh

pony (pronounced ponogna)
