how do you say it when you say the letter "W" dubya? dubba-you? or double-you? dictionary.com says its SUPPOSED to be "double you", but I think since the internet became big most people have switched to 'dubba you'. because saying 'double you' 3 times is a tongue twister.

I say double-you. I very rarely have to say it three times, when I tell someone about a site I write down or cut and paste a link in an email. When people do I hear the 'dubba you' sometimes I still hear the "l" as in dubble-ya. You know what I hate. Acronyms. With a passion. now since there are acronyms everywhere, I spell out the ones that were common before internet and e-mail such as "as soon as possible."

I say double you. You know what I hate? "as per usual" GAAAAACK.

i think its supposed to be "double you". have you ever thought about a W as a lot like ...well... double Us UU

I say double-you unless it's the three doubleyous in a row, in which case I say, "dub-dub-dub". Or sometimes when referring to the three doubleyous as a unit, I'll call them the tri-dubs or delta-dubs.

I say double-you unless referring to the Shrub.

Well..you could always say 'world wide web' but then everyone would get confused. I say dubbayou dubbayou dubbayou dot..etc etc. But then Im an aussie... and we have a lot of fucked up language so i hear :-)

hey look its platy. where ya been?

The most fucked up feature of the Australian dialect (and I say this with love) is the tendency to shorten words, like "pressies" for "presents" and "brekkie" for "breakfast" and "choccy" for "chocolate." That's just wrong, man.

they do it here in CA too. guacamole is guac. as in "hey, im an asshole. pass the guac!" *SMACK*

At least it's not guaccy. Ewwwww!

Guac? I dont think guacamole is a word that should be shortened. There is no way to say it without sounding like a total tosser! :-) You'll be happy to know that i dont say 'pressies' or 'choccy'... and I do use the word 'brekkie' but it doesnt mean what you think it means..well not in my circle of friends anyway. Aussies have a way of making up their own slang words.. our latest word seems to be MORT! Like...'ah ya freakin MORT!'.... 'quick, someone get her a Mortini'.... no idea why we laugh at the word, but we do! Does everyone have trouble understanding aussie slang? im going overseas in 6 weeks time.. i guess im about to find out!

what?

Tripper, what's a dag?

someone who is funny, or does funny things. Its also a kiwi thing. We had a comic called Fred Dag. He was based on a farmer.

president, or letter? letter: dubbelYEW president: DUByah

Aussie Slang Definition of 'a dag': adjective:- bits of manure that stick to the long wool around a sheep's bottom forming small dangling balls. Also a term for a funny person, nerd, goof, loser. In this respect it can have either an endearing or disparaging meaning, although is usually used for a likable fellow.

So when Eric Bana is described as looking like a bit of a dag in this picture, it's a good thing, right? I think he looks like a sweetie there.

Yeah Spidy it is. He looks kinda goofy.

Hey Patrick. I've been busy with work and lurking, mostly. But when it comes to important conversations like how to pronounce a W, I'm there.

yeah goofy.

Not goofy.

He still looks a little goofy in the first photo, but in a cute way. (I love when Spider crushes. Remember Tony Blair?)

"Remember"? Hey, I still like Tony Blair. Too bad he's such a disappointing leader. My girlish heart thinks it's cool that Eric Bana and I have the same color of eyes.

That's cute. The last world leader I had a crush on was Elrond, Lord of Rivendell (as portrayed by Hugo Weaving). Also, is Selma Blair attractive? There is something about her that bugs me, but I can't figure it out. I think it has something to do with her eyebrows.

She'd be much better looking if she gained 25 lbs., in my opinion. She looks like a lollipop.
