  • 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
