  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

yeah cuz "bo'el o' wa'er" is soooo different from the meme lmfao what

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It is. The meme has four glottel stops, this has three. The meme has the "el" removed, this doesn't. Weirdly, the meme has the "o" sound removed for for "of" as well.

It's an entirely fictitious way of pronouncing something, it equates a very, very small subset of the country with "Britain" and is a great example of "fake American British accent" becoming the "norm" to the extent where British voice actors are training to put on voices to sound "more British" (such as Tracer in Overwatch).

The meme might as well say "burdle der wurder" and claim it's how American's say it - kinda close, but also really far ๐Ÿคท
