What Do You Look Like? - Page 85

I've been thinking of her as eff-oh-vee pretty much the whole time, but I know that I'd go with fahv before I would fuhv. I don't get that at all.

Squinky · 10-30-2006, 10:30 AM

Well, she claims that "fov" is supposed to rhyme with "love" and "dove". Or something.

...yeah, I don't get it either.

Lee in Limbo · 10-30-2006, 10:37 AM

Perhaps if she adds the silent e... but then folks would no doubt think it was pronounced like fauve.

I've always pronounced it [f-ahh-vv]. The "o" in between the f and the v was enough to point me in the right direction.

simpson_yellow · 10-31-2006, 12:10 AM

fahhv? That's well snooty

Always just been plain fov to me, with the 'o' is as in 'hot'.

Except when it's written fovily, in which case it's faux-v'lly.

Kingzjester · 10-31-2006, 06:28 AM

I always pronounced fov's name "Eh-me-lee". She seems to answer to that very well...

On a thread-related note, I will be going to Serbia this december; I haven't gone back in eight years so I was thinking about doing something to myself that might freak out my estranged family:

This is just a photoshop.

Spoiler:
I look like Woody Woodpecker.

Man, living practically in Austin, I am kinda sick and tired of that shiznit, yo. Besides, to make orange work, you gotsa be black or otherwise have a really dark skin tone.

If I do the goatee and eyebrows, I will look like a comicbook villain.

Well, a shocking hair colour together with your own colour of the eyebrows doesn't look good. Now, your goal is perhaps not to look good what do I know?

But why don't you just make your eyebrows (and goatee) darker, still a "normal" colour. That'll make the whole look more aestethic (sp?).

I don't know about that, it is a funky place and the last refuge of free thought and liberalism in the backward retarded wasteland that is Texas. Keep Austin Weird is a more worthy cause than, say, Keep San Antonio Lame. San Antonio doesn't need to stay lame, god help it.

You do not have to be a liberal to enjoy the wildly diverse Austin scene, You just have to get to 6Th Street and have a few drinks first.
