The funniest possible way you can mispronounce "Shibboleth"

[kboyd@phpc.social]

@mcc Shibbolet, like Robert Goulet

[praxiscode@mastodon.online]

Rhymes with "she bowls"

@mcc

[http_error_418@hachyderm.io]

@mcc if you pronounce "bb" as a glottal stop it becomes someone with Canadian mannerisms commenting that a place is a bit of a dump

[ewjoachim@piaille.fr]

@mcc Chives in French is "Ciboulette"

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@lunalapin no it was because cassandra granade was talking about shibboleths. but possibly she was talking about shibboleths because you were??

[lunalapin@slime.global]

@mcc nah it's probably something in the air

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@lunalapin specifically, shibboleths

[ewjoachim@piaille.fr]

@mcc (btw, https://xkcd.com/2819/)

@mcc Shiba-inuth

[spoltier@qoto.org]

@praxiscode @mcc yay verily, she bowleth

[fishidwardrobe@mastodon.me.uk]

@mcc "maurice"

[gkrnours@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ewjoachim @mcc american would use anything but the international phonetic alphabet

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@fishidwardrobe WYYYEW-WYYEW!

@mcc that’s actually where the stress is BTW https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/שיבולת#Hebrew

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@at :O i've been failing the shibboleth all along

[oscherler@tooting.ch]

@mcc “Ciboulette” (chives in French) or “six boulettes” (pronounced the same as the previous one, the x is silent, meaning “six meatballs,” again in French)

[beej@kind.social]

@mcc “Skibileth”

[lain_7@tldr.nettime.org]

@mcc

“shi BAH leth” even more so.

Or maybe it’s a diminutive nick name for a shiba inu: “Good boy, my little Shibalet.”

@mcc flobble

edit: had to play the song to check where you were going, but, yes, we were both thinking of the song! :D
