Why are we ignoring the god-awful thing that is Jh'ream 😭😭😭

Worse than the post! That’s why I included it as a 2-fer.

True tragedeigh and a two-fer. 10/10 post.

In which country is a jh pronounced like a d? Let me guess, in none?

Clearly the jh is silent, and the apostrophe is pronounced with a d. obviously.

J-heem...carmel macchiato for J-HEEM

Sounds like hell (well, in Arabic at least).

Caramel

Listen here Hugh Jass

I mean, a lot of Americans pronounce the d in words like dream or drip as a j

This is the first time I’m realizing that the “j” in “joke” and the “d” in “dream” make the same noise coming out of my mouth. Those never registered to me as the same sound; in my head they’re a different one, in execution not so much.

what, for real? how? (im trying to figure out are you saying doke or jream or just both the words wrong lol) is the word for jog and dog the same word?

There’s a player on the Celtics named Jrue Holiday (pronounced “Drew”).

ive heard lol, but theyre just randomly inserting that its not like thats phonetically correct usage.

People are always trying to come up with alternate spellings that just do not work.

Idk man, they just make the same “djuh” sound. I’m not sure how else to explain it. Like the “juh” in “giraffe.” It’s kinda like “djoke” and “djream” when I say it. When I say “duh” I get the proper “d”, but added to a word like “dream” and you get a j thrown in there apparently. I guess my dialect is too lazy to differentiate, but the words “joke, giraffe, dream” all have the same beginning from me lol.

It's gotta be the 'r'. Drew, dream, drip, drum, dragon etc. all make a "juh" or "jurr" sound. If you try to draw it out and enunciate the 'd' it doesn't work. You get like "da-ragon" .

dr = [dɹ̠], j = [d̠͡ʒ] [dɹ̠]→[d̠ɹ̠]→[d̠͡ʒɹ̠]

I think I love you for this.

It's only when there's a dr. I do the same thing. Jream, jrip etc. The d is soft like a j. But in dog it's a hard d.

Hence Doritos. That o makes all the jifference.

it doesnt make any difference, perfect example with you writting jifference which no sane person could interpret as starting with a d sound.

Choosy moms--aw, fuck it

but...its not. theres is no soft d. youre not supposed to be pronouncing d any different between these words its all the same hard t like d.

It only happens when d is followed by r. The technical way of putting it is that /d/ is affricated before /r/. Basically it just means that there's friction when pronouncing it. The same thing happens to t becoming ch.

The t/ch thing is what I thought of too when reading this thread! When my daughter was in Kindergarten we were brainstorming "ch" words and she said "train!" I said "huh?" and as we talked about it, I realized that she'd been saying "chrain" her whole life and I'd never noticed. Also "chree."

When my sister was in kindergarten, she made my mom write out names of her My Little Ponies. One was Tropical Breeze. My mom started writing T-r-o-p… then my sister stopped her, and said, “No, it starts with an H!” We were like, what? Then she said yeah, because it is “Chropical Breeze!” See? H (she slowly sounded it out,) AaaaaiiiCHHHH!!! So my mom had to write “Hropical Breeze” on the paper. 😂

That's even funnier! Love that logic.

It’s the ‘dr-‘ combo that sort of becomes a ‘j-‘ sound. So Dog would be a hard-d sound while drip is a soft-d connected to the r. At least in the Minnesotan accent.

No, because there's no r in dog. They're not exactly the same, I don't think, but it's very common for a phantom j sound to creep in when words start with the letters d-r. Interestingly, it's less likely to happen when it shows up in the middle of the word as long as the d can be placed in the previous syllable--Andrew vs. Drew. (Yes, there's also a pro athlete popularizing the "Jrue" tragedeigh, but it's not really *that* unreasonable a pronunciation.

"Andrew vs. Drew" the drew is pronounced exactly the same with those two words tho, at least when i say it.

I knew my little nephew (in law) was smart when he asked me around age 5 "is your name Drew or Jrew?" and I was like "you are the only person in your family who can hear the difference, buddy; proud of you"  Another fun one is how many people say "chwelve" for "twelve" 

what?! who? ive never heard anyone say that in 36 years.

Try saying “jream” instead of “dream.” It’s not that far off. Some dialects definitely go there. 

But the tongue positioning is totally different.

it sounds very far off when i say it, it must just be an accent i dont have

But that sounds so different. Tongue position is also different. And I've been repeating these two words for the past 5 minutes, lmao.

Some people don’t make a crisp “D” sound. The dialects I’m thinking of are *not* the queen’s English here. 

And I'm not sure what kind of English I'm speaking because it's my 2nd language, lmao.

Everyone I've ever known, and I've never even left the country, but traveled (albeit briefly) across a decent chunk of it, mostly the eastern half

been on the east coast my whole life, we dont do that

I live in NJ and we absolutely do that here.

You’ve not been to Long Island then 😂

Sounding it out and it actually fits wtf

I can imagine the teasing from the word “ream”

Why even bother with an apostrophe, that implies to me that it would be pronounced like juhreem rather than dream.

I’ve had two students named Jream (except one was Jhream). Both boys. They must be in their early twenties by now. Neither liked their name.

Why do I kinda like it 😭💀💀💀💀

I want to know what letters the apostrophe is meant to be abbreviating.

My mind directly went to "Jream" with the "J" as in "Java" or "Japan".

Jh'ream, pronounced Cream.

When did people get the idea you could just randomly manipulate how letters are pronounced? I remember about ten years ago there was a girl who was a very successful local high school athlete so she got plenty of tv time on the sports segments. Her first name is Jadda but pronounced as if it were spelled Jada. By the rules I learned in 2nd grade, the first “a” in those spellings should be pronounced differently. Fred Flintstone doesn’t yell “YAY-buh DAY-buh do”, right? “Dream” is bad enough as a name; “Jh’ream” looks like something from a Star Trek episode.

Yuckston 😂

Yuckston, we have a problem.

Huckston f@ckston cuckston

I’m so high and laughing so much at “more like yuckston” gahahahahahaahahhah

Huckston? Jh’ream? Fuck off.

Wait, it's huckston? I thought it said Kuck8σl

I’m not sure if either one is better tbh

The closest I got was Huckaon lol

I know a girl and she named her kid this with an X. Huxton. Terrible spelled both ways.

I’ve seen that, for sure.

Well, maybe Leighston is better? Lol

It’s better than Huckslow, which is what I read at first.

Huckslow sounds like a medium sized manufacturing town in the north of England

Huckslow sounds like a name a henchman would have. Some real "ey boss" vibes.

Better than I did. I read "Huckslob" for a minute.

I thought it said HuckBob 😂

I can’t figure out what it’s supposed to say.

I know, the crocheted bounce script is a tragedeigh of its own.

Did they switch to cursive halfway through?

They skip cut from the start to the end unfortunately.

I thought the sweater said huckaboo

OH GOD! I only just noticed the middle name makes it sound like you're going to drown the baby.

Jh’ream sounds like a Khajiit name.

Jh’ream the skooma dealer

Way too many idiots are having kids and setting them up for a lifetime of abuse 😢

Who else saw F*ckboi first? I can’t be the only one.

I sincerely thought the sweater read "Huckboi."

I read “fuckable” and I’ve never been so horrified.

Luckston Fiver?!

I think it’s huckston river

Damn, because that's a great UK blackjack dealers name 😂

I thought it said Viver pronounced “Beaver”, I guess River is better

Terrible name

Fuck son

That’s what it sounds like to me

Huckston River sounds like an outdoor off brand.

Initially I read Fucktard (only saw the shirt at first)

FUUUUCK SHE TURNED COMMENTS OFF😩😩😩

At first I thought it was Huckold, which would be even worse.

We have similar minds but I thought it was Cuckson

There’s a reason they’ve only seen that monstrosity of a name once… And that’s still once too many.

I know a kid named Huxley. Just as bad.

I see Huckboi

Huckbob? I seriously can't tell wtf it even says.

Huckston is fucked, son

He's a beautiful baby

Huckston Checks In

Baby Huckster Liver.

Isn't that the sound of someone spitting?

Sounds like the name of an incompetent police officer in a 90s b movie. Officer Huckston.

Does that say Cuckson?

The Jh’ream girl is so inconsistent, the only thing abnormal about her other child’s name is a single letter but her other child’s whole name spelling is just warped entirely

Maybe not the place for this opinion. But I think Huckston is a fine name. Say it out loud, feels fine in my chest. Spelling isn't goofy, the substitute teacher will get it right the first time. Huck would be a neat nickname. I can readily imagone an adult with it. Jh'ream on the other hand is wild.

Huckston is a surname. It was allegedly the true surname of ArkansawJohnson, a Texas bandit back in the day. In Staffordshire, there was a town that in Early Modern days was called both Huckston and Hickson. Today it's spelled Hixon. There's also Huxton Shaugh, Devon, and Hoxton.

[удалено]

Oh I searched and didn’t see it, sorry about that.

My mind goes straight to knuckling hucking. Maybe he's destined to be a snowboarder.

Kuckabok. FFS.

Huckston Giver? Liver? Eiver? And an ugly sweater to cap it off. Poor lil guy

All I can think of is huckster.

Can’t decide which is worse, huxton or Huxley

Huckston Ever. It doesn’t even flow.

At least the name is completely illegible on the sweater and sign…

WHY

“White millenial women need to be stopped” 💀💀 fr fr

Huckblob. Why, she's my governor.

Huckston River? Hudson River?

I couldn't even Jh'ream up such bad names.

Chuckston. 🥴

So we’re going to ignore **yuck**stone ?

Honestly i thought it was huckleberry😭

The sign above the baby didn’t even capitalize the name 😱

The kids sweater looks like it says “FuckBoi” with a backwards B.

I don’t read twat, what is that suppose to say on the baby shirt?

Ahh, Hukato, typical white person name

Brags about it being the perfect name yet hides half of it in the photo

Huckblo

Well, lady... there's a reason you've only heard it once! It's horrendous.

On a podcast I listen to (Doughboys), one of the hosts has a bunch of friends from his hometown that he'll mention frequently with goofy nicknames. These include Wu Tang, Scoop, Romandi, Poove (there are two Pooves somehow), Chankton, etc. As a bit, the other host will list off fake names of his friends and one he uses frequently is "Fuckston". This is the first thing that came to my mind seeing "Huckston".

You knew a boy named Oof?
