[Albion] Can we please all pronounce Mac Allister as Mac Al eeeesta!

[Dub-67]

I'm not offended, I just don't think your original suggestion is clever or funny.

well which is it... clever or funny?

'Allo 'Allo - someone seems to have been brought up on 1980s comedies

There’s nothing wrong with pronouncing someone’s name incorrectly for comic effect as long as you don’t just pick on foreign sounding names .

Way too many precious people around . As long as it’s not meant in a nasty way obviously. Faulty Towers is hilarious because of the relationship between the owner and the Spanish waiter .

Soon there be nothing to laugh about if someone gets upset about everything you say .

Obviously if someone looks like they are getting upset then stop but most people appreciate humour is meant in a good way . It’s very obvious when it has overstepped the mark .

Exactly.

Surprised how many bed wetting millennials are on here trying to show how woke they are by being offended by a joke.

Intention is everything. If the comment is intended to upset then yes it should be confronted. But these guys want to seek out anything they can to show off how woke they are. Its pathetic.

The only thing offensive about this "joke" is how dull it is.

Your reaction is quite funny though. Always something.

Been an Albion fan since before you were born. If I was stupid would I be able to spell Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?

But yeah.. always up for a ruck with the 'I'm so offended' crowd.

If you're as old as you are claiming to be, then clearly you should know better - however, I'm more inclined to believe your school has a Baker day today (ask your Dad), so normal service should be resumed shortly.

As for your claim of intelligence, great, you can use Google and have mastered the art of copy and paste!

Oh No! So close to winning today's game of Predictability Bingo. The final answer you were looking for was "PC Brigade". That's PC Brigade.

We'll be back, same time, same place tomorrow for another episode.

I've been MejonaNO12 aka riskit, and until then, you stay edgy.

This has all the textbook hallmarks of a classic NSC car crash thread. Someone comes on and posts an absolutely infantile thread, gets shot down, resorts to insulting other users and declaring anyone who doesn’t agree as being ‘woke’. It’s as tiresome as it is predictable.

oh well spotted! You got me there. I take it you actually took that seriously. oh my lord. I see I am way out of my depth with you guys.

No, I didn't take you seriously, like ever reply you have put on this thread.

Get an early night so you're ready for school...

Good call. In an ideal world the OP would be old, a proven sad git and with a horrendous temper. We'd then put out a couple of nibbles and away we go. This chap is probably a bit young, his joke is just unfunny and absolutely shit rather than particularly offensive but he is too stupid to see this - hence the lazy bandying around of the word "woke". I can't be arsed to take the piss out of such a simpleton. The will just isn't there these days.

Go on give it a shot.

 

[Dub-67]

the amusing thing to me is that all this 'I'm offended' BS has kept this thread running for a while now. So you will soon hear people calling him Mac Al eeeeeesta! when you do please think of me

 

[Whitechapel]

and you're reacting to my reaction eh? keeps coming back I'll take that as a win thanks

If you think someone replying to you on an Internet forum is a ‘win’ then please, please turn off your electronic device, go outside and don’t come back until you’ve spoke to a woman. It’s for your own good.

 

[Simster]

Go on give it a shot.

Sigh, ok then...



...nope - I really can't be arsed. You're far too boring and your "joke" is barely worth thinking about because it is so poor without being more than mildly offensive. Do you honestly think it was funny?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Beyond the puerile - there is actually a quite interesting discussion to be had, on what is the 'correct' pronunciation of a geographically / culturally transposed name.

Take the example of the former Liverpool defender Sebastien Coates - another South American of Scottish descent. He's from a non-English speaking family in Uruguay.

His surname is Coates. It is actually the very same surname as the chap Peter Coates, who owns Stoke City (and Bet365) - pronounced as per the plural of 'Coat'.

Yet for the footballer - to him, to his family, and the South American media, he is Sebastien "Co - ah - tez".

Nobody is pronouncing it 'wrong'.

But surely the correct and, more importantly, polite pronunciation is the way that the person themselves pronounces it?

Ooohh ooooh. I know the answer. Pick me!

with you replying as well that's another win for me

I think the Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer reference on this went over everyone's heads. Next time I'll provide references so you can keep up.

I’d sincerely hope that there won’t be a next time.
