reesetee Really, c_b? Gosh, you must be in the North! ;->
I wonder whether "Norfolk" was ever pronounced "NOOR-folk" anywhere? *considering* Sep 30, 2008
bilby We have a Norfolk Island in Australia, home to descendands of The Bounty's mutineers. Pronunciation NAW-fek with a genuine schwa in the second syllable. Sep 30, 2008
chained_bear It's LafayETTE in Virginia, too, though. I think just certain areas of the South pronounce it while acCENTing the wrong sylLAble.
Virginia had a pretty solid tie with the Marquis de Lafayette, what with Yorktown and all, maybe that's why it's pronounced that way here...? Sep 30, 2008
reesetee Ha! And that reminds me of the difference in how most people in the Southeastern and Northeastern United States pronounce "Lafayette." It's "La-FAY-et" in the South, but "La-fay-ET" in the North. Sep 30, 2008
chained_bear Actually it most often sounds, at least for people in the region around the city itself, like "Nawfuck." My dad, for example, will not pronounce it that way; he enunciates very clearly, "Norrrrfolllk." (Hee...) Sep 30, 2008
jennarenn Ok, so it's the same in England and Virginia. It's just another city; I never give it a second thought. May 2, 2007
sarra English Norfolk rhymes (loosely) with “poor luck”! May 2, 2007
jennarenn Oh, lol. I didn't get the joke. I thought that it was *supposed* to rhyme. I guess I should have clarified, is this chant for a soccer team in England? May 2, 2007
oroboros Is that comment tongue-in-cheek, jennarenn? The joke depends on that Virginian pronunciation. Guess it just doesn't cut the mustard written out instead of chanted (in Virginia)! May 2, 2007
uselessness Which is why it's on the No-No List. *shudder* May 2, 2007
jennarenn It doesn't rhyme in Virginian. :) Norfolk has more of a short-u sound than a long-o sound. May 1, 2007
oroboros The Norfolk football cheer: "We don't drink and we don't smoke, Norfolk!, Norfolk!" Feb 13, 2007
