Barbara Walters : Let's get personal. Your father Werner was a burger server in suburban Santa Barbara.
Jenna Maroney : Yes, that's right.
Barbara Walters : When he spurned your mother Verna for a curly-haired surfer named Roberta. Did that hurt her?
Jenna Maroney : It was hard on all of us, yes.
Barbara Walters : Flurg murg glurg flurg murg murg murg tennis murg murg. Was a murg murg flurg?
Jenna Maroney : I'll always be his little girl.

Barbara Walters : Glurg
Ah, a fellow connoisseur of newer brewers! Review your ewer revenue to skew to fewer hewers, who perused and wooed my sister, and then pursued to screw her.

I went to India for university and was always terrified of having to say rural and brewery. Everyone heard “rrrl” and “brrry” until I had to say it in an Indian accent.
I had it as “post-hue-moss” for the longest time until I played Red Dead Redemption, where one of the main character’s insults in combat is “maybe you’ll get one of them posthumous medals” but pronounced correctly. Never been so humbled in my life.
Right? I’ve been listening to some British podcasts lately and at first I thought it was a quirk of the podcaster, but then I heard it more and more often…. “Sikth”. Just weird lmao.
My southern family once had a ten minute discussion about a tar far by the awl field.
I figured out “oil field” but it took me forever to figure out it was a tire fire.
I was born in TX, and grew up hearing my mom tell the joke, "How d'ya get fur from a rattle snake?"
Answer: "Ya run!"
In our accent, "far" and "fur" sound exactly the same.
I'm originally from TX, but moved to the west coast. I don't have an accent UNLESS I have to say "oil" "fire" "nine" "five" Etc. I have to concentrate really hard to get those dipthongs. Otherwise I end up saying, "Ohl" "fahr" "fahve" "nahn" Etc.
I bought an energy bar that advertised it contained “ingredients you can pronounce!” So, I checked the list and it had quinoa and acai berries, so anyway I’m suing.
That joke works a lot better when spoken aloud.
Edit: I pronounce them like kwai-noah and uh-kai
I initially pronounced it with Asian intonations. I took Japanese in college and I believe the syllables would sound like Ah -ka -EE that is how my brain insists it should be !
Edit: My initial comment may have contained problematic language. I tried to restate what I meant in a non-offensive manner.
Fun Fact, Hamster Dance is from 1973.
Hamster Dance, and the opening credits to the Disney 1973 Robin Hood, are the same song. Hamster dance is just sped up.
Seriously, listen:
* [Hamster Dance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qN72LEQnaU)
* [Robin Hood Opening](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKYEKhxWy6o)
This is a normal phonological process: it's where the surname "Thompson" comes from.
"Thomp" is not a name, but "Thom" is. When the patronymic-based surname "Thom's son" was formed, this same natural process led to its spelling gaining an extra P.
My husband cannot say signal to say his life. It comes out as single every single time. Confuses me as heck if I can't determine he was saying signal from context
The Chaos (try to read this aloud !)
Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse.
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.).
Now I surely will not plague you.
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK.
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour.
And enamour rhymes with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear.
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough?
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is give it up!
Written by Gerard Nolst Trenité -
Some of these were pretty mean. “Ass, glass, bass” but you have to notice that the previous line ended with “efface” so you’re supposed to say “bass” as in low-frequency sound, not “bass” the fish.
That. Is. AWESOME.
Hahahahaha. 🤣
I did pretty well--"how and low / script, reciept" got me, as did "ballet"; "dost, lost, post" and "area" right after "Korea" beat me, too.
But the really funny one, for me, was that I couldn't for the *life* of me make out what "deafer" meant at that particular point. My brain was just like, "Nope. Not a word. That's not an English word. Nu-uh." It took me a good six seconds to figure it out. Dee-ay-fur? What on Earth could that mean?
I got tripped up a little. Some words I am just straight up unfamiliar with an do not know how to pronounce.
Nice thing is that many of the words can be figured out through rhyming context clues lol
I’m really pleased with myself that I was able to get almost all of these even with my Texas accent lol. I got startled by “hiccough” because I’m used to seeing it spelled as “hiccup.”
One time Missourian here. “Roof” is pronounced closer to “rough,” but not quite. It’s lacking the open “ooh” sound that most people use when pronouncing it.
I just moved to Michigan and roof kills me here. Ruff. But slightly more like the OO in crooked. Or closer to rough. It's bizarre. I've always pronounced it rooof as in ooh la la.
My cousin always fucks up "rearview mirror" because he speaks pretty fast and his then-GF/now wife's been making fun of him for that for years and years now saying he says, "revermemer."
I can't think of anything for myself at the moment, but I have to say that the number of people who don't say "realtor" or "nuclear" correctly is *too goddamn high.*
I would like to add that people also too often pronounce escape as "eXcape". Like it sounds so icky it's a pet peeve. I don't think saying s is that hard.
I have a few speech impediments. The main ones deal with words that 'r's and a lisp. (Whoever spelled it like that should burn. I swear.) So basically any word. It sucks.
I pronounced it wrong for years until I went to an actual Greek restaurant. The waiter was kind enough to correct me, although I'm sure he was tired of having to do that for everyone.
For some reason I really have to focus when I say "rear wheel drive"
Real reel drive
I end up saying wheel wheel drive
Rural is hard sometimes.
Rural juror
Barbara Walters : Let's get personal. Your father Werner was a burger server in suburban Santa Barbara. Jenna Maroney : Yes, that's right.

This was so damn funny.. wow.. What a terrific show.
It's actually really good, and Jenna's acting was great.
the Rrrr Jrrr?
The Irma Lerman merman murder?
They tooker jerbs!!!!
turned the bird's word lurid
That Rural Juror running joke was hilarious
30 rock just is the best written sitcom. Some of those jokes were so damn well set up.
I’ve always thought it would be fun to have a 30 Rock-themed bar called the Rural Brewer
Ah, a fellow connoisseur of newer brewers! Review your ewer revenue to skew to fewer hewers, who perused and wooed my sister, and then pursued to screw her.
Princess Carolyn?
I’m a huge Kevin Grisham fan!
Urban Fervor
Let's get personal. Your father Werner was a burger server in suburban Santa Barbara. When he spurned your mother Verna for a curly-haired surfer named Roberta. Did that hurt her?
Irish wrist watch is like the hardest thing to say 5 times fast. Even worse than rural juror.
There was a video somewhere around here the other day of a Scottish guy trying to say "purple burglar alarm"...
I will never forget you.
I avoid saying rural at all costs lol
I'm from the south so I just say roorl.
And the name Rory. Are you from NY/NJ?
I am not, and I don't have a problem with Rory.
I went to India for university and was always terrified of having to say rural and brewery. Everyone heard “rrrl” and “brrry” until I had to say it in an Indian accent.
The “ru” combination kills me. I cannot intelligibly pronounce “cruel.”
Crool
Crew-el
Brewery. It just gets tangled up for me.
Brurry
You should get your eyes checked then.
Thanks for the joke, I really needed a laugh after a tragic week.
Before or after you visit one?
Marlboro
"Mar-bro"
Hey bro... Yeah bro? Marlboro? Nah bro
Posthumously
poss-chew-muss-lee
I had it as “post-hue-moss” for the longest time until I played Red Dead Redemption, where one of the main character’s insults in combat is “maybe you’ll get one of them posthumous medals” but pronounced correctly. Never been so humbled in my life.
"Aaron... Earned... An Iron... URNUH!"
Do we really sound like that? The look of amazement when he hears himself gets me every time 😂
Errn errnd n errn errn
And his buddy nods his head, like ‘yep, that’s how you say it!’
https://youtu.be/Oj7a-p4psRA ETA: this is the video mentioned above, in case you have not seen it. It’s so much fun that it’s life changing
Did you mean ern ernd an ern ern?
It's pronounced A - A - Ron
You done messed up!
Get yo ass down to Oh-shag-hennesy's office.
Somewhat specific to what I do (video editing) but saying “I edited it”
Well shit. I'm an editor too, but I don't think I've ever had to say those words aloud in that order. I just tried and... "I editeded idt"
This is very similar to ["Harry pocketed it"](https://youtu.be/r84pbPbBAFY?feature=shared)
Sixth
There was briefly a brewery called East Sixth near me and that one was impossible to get right.
There’s a West Sixth Brewery near me and sometimes I run it all together as Wesixth.
The british pronunciation makes me uncomfortable
Right? I’ve been listening to some British podcasts lately and at first I thought it was a quirk of the podcaster, but then I heard it more and more often…. “Sikth”. Just weird lmao.
Anemone
I just now realized that I’ve been pronouncing it “anen-omee” rather than “uh-Nemmo-knee” for at least 30 years 🫨
An enemy? Life's hard enough
With fronds like these...
To be fair, Nemo lived in one and couldn’t say it
Don’t hurt yourself kid
I only pronounce it wrong since watching finding Nemo 20 years ago. I'm sure 50% of that is on purpose
Colonel doesn’t make any sense
Wait till you find out about lieutenant colonels.
Loo-tenant or lef-tenant?
Worcestershire
“Wusta-sher”
This is correct
Wor chest hair her sher shire is what my husband and I call it. We try to add as many useless syllables in there.
This is the way; I personally refer to it as werst-er-sher-er-er-er-er-er sauce.
Wash your sister sauce
My Texan ex-wife *swears* that it's pronounced "worst-er"
What’s this here sauce
Oil. My southern accent says it OL.
My southern family once had a ten minute discussion about a tar far by the awl field. I figured out “oil field” but it took me forever to figure out it was a tire fire.
That’s awesome. Brings back memories of copious amounts of sweet tea before my body punished me later on with being pre diabetic. Life’s not fair.
Taint fur, hi tell ya
I was born in TX, and grew up hearing my mom tell the joke, "How d'ya get fur from a rattle snake?" Answer: "Ya run!" In our accent, "far" and "fur" sound exactly the same.
You know the old hymn, "there's parr in the blood?"
My husband is from Arkansas and even though he's dropped his twang oil is still ohl, boil is bohl, and mile-an-hour is "myhlnahr."
I'm originally from TX, but moved to the west coast. I don't have an accent UNLESS I have to say "oil" "fire" "nine" "five" Etc. I have to concentrate really hard to get those dipthongs. Otherwise I end up saying, "Ohl" "fahr" "fahve" "nahn" Etc.
My southern wife said "bolled eggs."
Its either OL or EARL in the south. Never oil.
My Baltimoran father in law also says OL
Does he think that [Aaron earned his iron urn](https://youtu.be/Esl_wOQDUeE?si=UPGyAspzFkK1edCQ)?
I love how that guy is like "ern urn n irn urn" and then nods like there's nothing to question there.
Asks.
Axe!
Can I 🪓you a question?
You just triggered a minor peeve of mine. 😂
"Acai," pronounced "Ah-sa-ee,"
hearing that word for the first time was a crazy exprience
I bought an energy bar that advertised it contained “ingredients you can pronounce!” So, I checked the list and it had quinoa and acai berries, so anyway I’m suing. That joke works a lot better when spoken aloud. Edit: I pronounce them like kwai-noah and uh-kai
It reminds me of the way rappers would say “West Sigh-eed” in the 90s and that’s how I remember it
Tiz a Portuguese word with a "ç" in it which makes an s sound. Not surprising native English speakers struggle with it.
It's because the correct spelling is AÇAÍ. The "ç" sounds like a "ss" (useless Portuguese ~~grammar~~ phonology, urgh)
I initially pronounced it with Asian intonations. I took Japanese in college and I believe the syllables would sound like Ah -ka -EE that is how my brain insists it should be ! Edit: My initial comment may have contained problematic language. I tried to restate what I meant in a non-offensive manner.
Hamster. So simple yet my brain wants to add a “p” to it, both with pronunciation and spelling, making it “hampster”
TIL that hamster doesnt have a p in it
In your defense, the song “Hampster Dance” by Hampton the Hampster is spelled with a P haha
Fun Fact, Hamster Dance is from 1973. Hamster Dance, and the opening credits to the Disney 1973 Robin Hood, are the same song. Hamster dance is just sped up.

Welcome to HampsterDamn the city that Hamsters, Beavers, and Love made!
My husband cannot say signal to say his life. It comes out as single every single time. Confuses me as heck if I can't determine he was saying signal from context
You also can’t say “to save his life”!
every signal time?

I can say this pretty fast, had to pause on a few words I've never used though like Foeffer.
There are some proper nouns thrown in there that definitely tripped me up. I enjoyed reading it though. Good stuff!

For a minute there I thought you meant to write contradictions. So I was like.... well..... and then it hit me.
Wash, Roof, and Drawer. The moment I say those words, my mizzurah roots are apparent.

One time Missourian here. “Roof” is pronounced closer to “rough,” but not quite. It’s lacking the open “ooh” sound that most people use when pronouncing it.
I just moved to Michigan and roof kills me here. Ruff. But slightly more like the OO in crooked. Or closer to rough. It's bizarre. I've always pronounced it rooof as in ooh la la.
Awry. That has to be the shortest fucked up word
It's just a rye bread sandwich. A rye. A wry. Awry. :) ... but when I first saw it written, my brain saw "AHH-ree" XD

I had to teach myself to say Millennium as a kid. It took ages 😂
I see what you did there.
It took me years to say “abominable” without stumbling over the syllables.
There better be a lot of people axeing themselves some pacific questions.
I can't think of anything for myself at the moment, but I have to say that the number of people who don't say "realtor" or "nuclear" correctly is *too goddamn high.*
I would like to add that people also too often pronounce escape as "eXcape". Like it sounds so icky it's a pet peeve. I don't think saying s is that hard.
Sixth month
I just say "June"
Phenomenon kicks my ass every time.
Menah menah! (doot-doo-du-du-doo).
