NSC Decides: DOB-BEE or DOUGH-BEE

[supaseagull]

Im sure our Scottish fans will confirm that as its got a double consonant it's Dobbie - as in house elf.

If it had one b it would be pronounced Dough-bee as in Scott.

Now this conversation is getting silly(or is that sigh-ly!!!)

I'm sure Stephen himself will confirm that it's DOUGH-BEE.

 

[LE19]

DOUGH-BEE

Rhymes with PLOUGH-BEE.

 

[Hiney]

You wouldn't say 'f*** off you utter nobe' would you?

DOB-BEE for me

 

[Titanic]

It's clearly DOUGH-BEE.

Rhymes with COUGH-BEE.

 

[El Sid]

You wouldn't say 'f*** off you utter nobe' would you?

DOB-BEE for me

In polite circles it would be "phuq off you utter nobe"

 

[SWCspider-man]

I prefer Dob-bie mainly because I can say
'Hes f***ing magic!'

 

[Triggaaar]

Should be Dob bee, but I assume the player prefers Dough bee?

 

[Titanic]

No, it is definitely DOUGH-BEE.

Rhymes with ENOUGH-BEE.

 

[The Modfather]

Dob-bee

 

[Titanic]

No, it is definitely DOUGH-BEE.

Rhymes with THROUGH-BEE.

 

[Icy Gull]

Crikey, this is the second time we have had a Dough-bee Dob-bee poll. Both times it's been pointed out that is in FACT DOUGH-BEE yet the poll is 60-40 in favour of the wrong pronunciation?

Hardly surprising when you remember that so many fans STILL pronounce Poyet wrong, after three years


I am actually guilty myself as saying it with a French accent is much easier, I have to think about it first to pronounce it as it should be.

 

[stss30]

It looks like it should be dob-bee, but it's actually dough-bee

This. I still say Dob-bee though.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Hmm...
DOUGH, THROUGH, ROUGH, COUGH.
'ough' is hardly a good sound to use for phonetics

 

[Questions]

Even given those two options, I still think Mr Aspinall will plump for Doo bee.

 

[Parson Henry]

We should give his brother a game...whoa--whoa..listen to the music

 

[grubbyhands]

He could join other Albion legends like Bough-Bee Zamora.

Ha ha, well said. Dob-bee surely?

 

[dookieno8]

the answer is...

"it rhymes with boaby"

 

[BensGrandad]

Another very much mispronounced name is Romain Abramovich which he says should be Ro marn Abra Mo Vich not Ro man Abram avich

 

[Magic Sponge]

I always say DOB-BEE but as far as I know it's meant to be pronounced DOUGH-BEE.

Same as this.
