Americans are goofy af "criss cross applesauce" bitch that don't even rhyme

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Is this a quote? I don’t understand how it doesn’t rhyme.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It does in an American accent, I guess

In my accent (UK), "cross" rhymes with "boss", and "sauce" rhymes with "horse". Pretty sure boss and horse don't rhyme.

If I'm understanding correctly then the words "sauce" and "source" are indistinguishable when spoken by a brit?

[-] StaplesMcGee@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Source will have emphasis on the r.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

Its important because if youre at the dinner table and ask for sauce wrong, mum will pass you 273,000 lines of javascript.

That's borderline child abuse

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

and horse doesn't??

[-] StaplesMcGee@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Depends on who you ask.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 5 points 9 months ago

Pretty much yeah!

[-] Nihilore@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

It’s the same in Aussie English

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago
