[Corpsey]

asking for a friend

 

[craner]

Pad Rag

Pad Rage

 

[Corpsey]

Pad Rig?

 

[Mr. Tea]

"Porrig" is a valid pronunciation, I think, although there may be others.

Edit: a quick google suggests the final consonant is usually more like a 'k' than a 'g'. "Pawdrig" is OK too, apparently: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2007/jul/24/golf.comment

 

[shiels]

pod-rig is most common in english and paw-rig is common with fenians

 

[Slothrop]

It's pronounced "the very fact that you have to ask is indicative of a pathological commitment to delibidinized racial supremacism which is exactly what I'd expect from a feebleminded gliberal apologist such as yourself."

 

[Corpsey]

Apparently there were two podrigs on here at one time

 

[Mr. Tea]

Then again, my cousin is called Llinos which is Welsh for linnet and I can't pronounce it.

Thleenos

My cousin gets asked her name, the inquirer stumbles over it for a second and then just calls her Miss Owen-Jones

Try Dyddgu and Alanw (both female), the latter throws people’s ability to shape vowels with mouth movements

Can you get that Welsh double L sound though? I can't really, not sure Thl is really a great approximation.

 

[IdleRich]

I guess Dyddgu is gonna be something like, I dunno Duthy.

it's more of a clearing your throat thing i think, chhhleenos

 

[IdleRich]

Normal clumsy approximation is Hl

The k/c aspects shape Llanelli into Chhhlanethly, or Klanellee as a mate put it as a wind up

@craner will know Ystrad Mynach, which the same mate pronounced as Wye-strad My-Natch. He also nailed Machynlleth as Mycunt’sworth
