Does anyone else think of a giant bee with a cowboy hat when they hear the name Beehaw? (self.chat)

What? Not in my accent. Is yours one of those where "claws" and "doors" rhyme?

[–] Gamers_mate 6 points 4 months ago

Yes Claws and Doors rhymes in my accent.

How else would you pronounce them?

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

different vowel sounds (short A like "father" versus long O like "oat")

different final sounds (one ends with the mouth still on the vowel sound, one ends with an R sound)

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Klaas and doh-errs.

Close enough, though "doors" is one syllable when I say it. Definitely not even a slant rhyme, though.
