It has confused me, as I (And friends) pronounce it Bee Whore. It has made me look at bees in a new way. No shaming of bees, please.

Edit: Maybe this is to do with my British accent?

I think that is how most people pronounce it because Yee haw kind of sounds like yee whore. though it has a very different meaning.

What? Not in my accent. Is yours one of those where "claws" and "doors" rhyme?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yes Claws and Doors rhymes in my accent.
