Must disagree. 'Awduh' is close to Received Standard pronunciation, which is 'non-rhotic': absent a following vowel, the 'r' is dropped. Mah Deep South muthuh would awduh me to do mah homewuhk.

John Bercow, of immigrant stock, comes from Middlesex-- most definitely 'rhotic' territory. So there is some theatricality in his punctiliously posh pronunciation.

I have always enjoyed the tonguebath which John Bercow gives that word, and I really didn't think Bercow was saying 'Aw' and 'duh'....please tell me that you didn't miss that.

But thank you so much for your very kind offer of assistance. Not all young persons are so polite.

Evan, this is your second “poo-poo” instead of “pooh-pooh” in as many weeks. I’m gonna tell Trix! Pooh as in Winnie the Pooh, poo-poo is what you do when you go #2 dookie.

I love the way the English pronounce English - the same word said by people from different glottal regions can sound so very different.

Yes indeed. An 'English accent' can be one of hundreds, some say. Some Brits have told me that they particularly like my Central Texas twang, but perhaps they're only being polite. And that's the way to my heart, shrivelled-up and useless as it is.

Whenever Dilanian comes on with his weird shit eating grin, I switch to Forensic Files reruns. He's right up there, or down there, with Peter Michael Baker-Schmidt and Chuck Todd - both sidesing up a storm.

Someone here described it as not English but High Bercovian.

So, now, we're just ratfucking ourselves. Cool.

You are so right, truth really is stranger than fiction. Those people are whacko! Just went over there to Gateway Pundit to remind myself and discovered I've been banned from commenting there! Imagine that, a sweet little old lady like me! ;-)

I think of his PMship as more the turd-in-the-punchbowl variety. Let's call him BloJo. 'Cuz he's blonde, How did you ever get that other idea?
