What do you say?

[Innuendo]

It's like most towns, the pronunciation is normally different to what people expect. It's an old English thing so you know they're not locals. Victorian's (but not limited to) including Brocky have/had a fail when pronouncing Bathurst. I remember Jeremy Clarkson calling it Bath (as in Bath room) Hurst. Also heard Penrith pronounced Pen-reeth (how the British would say it) of course the Penrith locals pronounce it Pen-rif. It's called lounge in Australia and only Australia really and we put them in our lounge room. Fancy having a couch room or a sofa room - ridiculous!

Its like we on this side of the planet pronounce the word Derby
Where you guys over the other side pronounce it Darby but still spell it Derby wtf ��

[Innuendo]

Derby "dur-bee" American. But to be fair I say Derby.
Derby "dahr-bee" British. Again to confuse like in the name Derbyshire = "dahr-bi-sheer"

Rodeo "roh-dee-oh"
Rodeo "roh-dey-oh"

I would be surprised if most, if not all, people pronounced Canowindra wrong if they'd never heard the way the locals say it

Then there is a whole new language across the ditch. They seem to have a bit of difficulty pronouncing vowels compared to what us Aussies are used to.

ROFL I often say Cano-win-dra as a joke around here. Gee, the locals go off if you use it there! Can-ow-in-dra is more how they like it.

Not wrong about that!

And Cudal.

Cue-dal and I hear Cue-dell

Locally Cassilis causes grief.

Not sure I've heard of it but I'll try "Cas-sill-is" probably wrong?

New people visiting Wollongong "Wool-on-gong" struggle with suburbs Bulli "Bull-eye", Unanderra "You-nan-derra" and Wonoona "Woo-noon-ah" other suburbs that also get them Thirroul and Towradgi.

How about "Lucknow" near Orange.

Filum, love it!! I got relations from the South Coast Nsw who say it that way too. You know the Monaro (Mon Air Oh) district

GMH are to blame for that one. In Aussie speak it has always been Mon Air Oh, but in the Holden TV adds from 1968, they clearly say Mon Are Oh.

Early HK film ads clearly say Mon-Air-Oh and then it all changed.

I noticed on a market site a pair of “Genuine Holden Fender Protectors” for sale? The things mechanics throw over the front guards while servicing your car. Growing up with two panel beaters in the family I have only known them as guards, fenders is another Americanism.
