Hmmm, shop class was never my specialty, didn't realize there was an L in there...


I was thinking this:


http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=Soder


Although I would pronounce it as sodder. Perhaps this is what Kate speaks to as odd...

that is it exactly.. we pronounce the L in it

the way y'all pronounce it 'sodder' is verging on being a cheeky word here

Hmmm, I kind of see what you're getting at...


Even the dictionary says to pronounce it as such, perhaps from an American standpoint:




\Sod"er\ & sdr


In fact look at the origination of the word, in some cases there's an L and others, no L:




[Middle English soudur, from Old F rench soudure, soldure, from souder, soulder, to solder, from Latin solidre, to make solid, from solidus, solid. See solid.]


WTF? It's all so confusing...

No, no. That would be almost as wrong as pronouncing it 'v-eye-ta-min'.

Right in a completely wrong kinda way. Maybe if it had a few more 'E's in it...

To the best of my knowledge, the origin of the banana is "Peanut Butter Jelly Time!" a Flash movie that came from who knows where.  It's mildly entertaining.  Here's a site that with it on:

Hah.  Made me laugh.


Not sure about it being the origin, though.  Looks to me like someone just took the animated gif and put it to music.

I dont think we should pick on our friends for the prenounciation of words - for instance in many countries the word Darren is pronounced 'arse' -


The banana is cool though and I think JDK is probably right about the whole putting the gif to music thing...

Whereas in the States, the word 'John' often refers to toilets.  So your name kinda sounds like 'toilet'.  Which is oddly appropriate, cos you've got toilet-breath.


(I hope Jackie's suitably amused...)

Stead, admittedly I have no knowledge of your irresistability (is that a word?) or your pants, but just look at the competition...
