New. Clear.

[roto204]

Look, if we can all pronounce "Akmenajad," we can all say this together:

Nuclear.

You know. New. Clear.

Not nuke-you-lur.

Two syllables, one diphthong, fluid and marvy.

Eesh.

 

[brettsomers]

nuke-you-lur.

no, we want folksy. like gwb. not some "cultural elite". Sarah Palin is like you and me. real people!

 

[roto204]

Brett!

I can see Texas from my window! :-D

 

[gansky1]

I nearly dropped my Diet Coke when she said nuke-you-lur - not once but over and over.

Who does that remind you of? I think we've had enough of these knuckle-dragging mouth-breathing C & D students playing at leadership.

No Brains, No Change, No Maverick, Party First.

Business as usual.

 

[neptunebob]

What's really disturbing is when someone who is an engineer from my area says the word like that - and they are working for, of all companies, Westinghouse!

 

[toggleswitch2]

uh you can'd use /manipulate the English language correctly and you want to manipulate the laws, rules, government, government assets and impose rules and such upon the polulation? Baby steps. Take baby steps first.

 

[roto204]

True...

You, know, Togs, that's true...you have to take baby steps with that sort of thing, or else you're just going nuke-you-lur irregardless! ;-)

 

[peterh770]

Sounded Minnesotan to me...

 

[roto204]

Spot on, Greg

*mops-up Diet Coke*

All I could think of was Bush--terrist, terrist, terrist. Nuke-you-lur.

I had a Frank Caliendo moment while I was watching, too: "I support gay marriage. I do. So long as it's one gay man...and one gay woman...I support gay marriage. The parts just have to fit together."

 

[roto204]

Peter

She kind of reminds me of Mrs. Poole on Valerie (Edie McClurg)...

 

[Unimatic1140]

Sounded Minnesotan to me...

You wouldn't think that if you lived here, not even close to a MN accent. With her beliefs and views you'd think she'd be saying y'all all the time.

 

[roto204]

With her beliefs and views you'd think she'd be sayi

Or nuke-you-lur.

Well, anyway, I can take a look at it again later. I recordificated it on my divver.

 

[oldhouseman]

Y'all

Thank God she is not Southern. Unfortunately McSames ancestors are. He has ancestors from Mississippi. They were wealthy slave traders but then again so were Obama's. I heard a historian at a recent conference tell a group that O'Bama's ancestors in Africa sold slaves to Portugese slave traders who in turn sold them in America. It's amazing how many connections we all have through so many different ways.

 

[perc-o-prince]

no, we want folksy. like gwb. not some "cultural elite&

As long as WE doesn't include ME, I'd agree with that!

I want someone the rest of the world leaders, terrorists included, aren't going to be snickering at, like they've been able to do for almost 8 years! Dubya has a nickname, "The Cowboy," with some of our friends in the UK. Too bad they're not including him in with cowboys like Teddy, "Rough Rider," Roosevelt!

Damnit. It's English and the Prez is representing America! I don't care if newk-ya-ler is the way they say it in TX. That still doesn't make it correct, and makes him sound like the village idiot he is!

IMHO

[whirlpolf]

nuke-you-lur
nook-ye-leur
newk-ya-ler
nurse-kyu-ler!!

 

[roto204]

Nook-ye-leur

That sounds French...

 

[rolls_rapide]

That Youtube video

Looks like it came from our old ITV show, "Spitting Image".

 

[conate]

personally I hate...

the term 'nu-cu-ler' -- it reminds me of my boyhood in working class New Jersey.

BUT FOLKS IT IS AN ACCENT VARIATION. AS I HAVE SAID ON OTHER THREADS, HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU TOLERATE DIVERSITY WHEN YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T?

I despise the murder of the English language - and this is some of it - but get a grip, please

Nate

 

[bajaespuma]

This thread has me so upset with self-doubt,

I'm going to go put on some of my jew lur eee.
