Derry Alli Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Why do Weegies say "stock of rock" rather than "stick of rock"? As in, I'm going to Blackpool. Do you want me to bring you back some stick of rock Edit : just realised this isn't the QQ topic.

I suppose it's possible that someone could think that the " 's" stops the "twenty" being a sound but no one is that dense, surely? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know why you are struggling with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just be brutally honest here and admit it never even crossed my mind that it might have been "stalk". Minter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of the description "chipper" used in anything except a means of disposing of surplus branches. "Chippie" for me. Definitely ‘Chippie’ in Inverness, and surrounding towns in my experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Chippy is what weegies get when you try to educate them on pronunciation) Thanks for confirming it's a tiny minority To me, chipper and chippy are not the same. You buy a chippy from the chipper, although admittedly that one is definitely regional and confined to parts of the east coast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not difficult Twenty would rhyme with S'Plenty, you are right, but "twenty's plenty" is pronounced "twentays plenty" not "twenty splenty" Spoiler Twenty Splenty Edited July 6, 2023 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
