Oh man. I’ve been dying with laughter all morning because of the Pronunciation Manual YouTube channel. It’s just a bunch of ridiculous pronunciations of words (based on the serious Pronunciation Book). It is so stupid, so great. I love it. This one, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, had me on the floor. Other favourites include their take on Skyrim, synecdoche, Guinness, Worcestershire, oh god so many. Just, please, listen to them.

EDIT: oh my GOD I just discovered meme. Make it stop!
For “hors d’oeuvres”, my dad recently told me “horse ovaries”.
laughing about this...this another 15 times.
This is KILLING me.
