Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 It was a possible answer in pointless the other day. Words that end in "ole" Nobody said it and it wasn't in the last of pointless answers though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I knew how to pronounce it properly cos I'm dead clever and that Bolton have a young striker called Gerard Sithole. Google search suggests "Sithole Bolton" which is a consonant away from reality 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Foot Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Here’s another one. Did you know that when folk are trying to be all fancy by pronouncing Moët as ‘mo-ay’ they’re actually being tres stupide? It’s a Dutch name, not a French one, and so should be pronounced ‘mo-ett’. Probably with some gargling and hawking too, judging by the rest of the Dutch language . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
