Comment on Povertymaxxed and bolognapilled

Worse still is the pronunciation of “bologna”. How. Just how. None of you seppos have the right to tell me about how I pronounce “herbs” or “pecans”. Then again, our pronunciation of “lieutenant” is messed up.

  The “g” isn’t silent. the “gn” in Italian (and French) is pronounced like a “n” with a tilde (~, e.g “ñ”) in Spanish.
  
  bologna = bo lo nya
  
  gnocchi = nyo ki
  
  cognac = co nyak
  
  jalapeño = ha la pe nyo

    British rhyming slang, or Australian?
