Reminds me of this scene in the big short:

Rabbi Scene

MindTraveller ,

I thought Jews were supposed to think critically about religion. After all, that’s why Yahweh keeps the devil around, to question them.

Allonzee , (edited )

Remember, small impressionable children, oligarchy and rigged market capitalism is the only way, everything else is evil and anti-freedom, and remember to compete against your fellow Americans to try to get more than them!

For our next lesson, critical thinking and reasoning! Just kidding, we don’t do that here. It doesn’t help to make you better laborers.

And now onto history, open your textbooks to page 33:

For First Thanksgiving?

Most of that is believed to have happened or is so cloaked in mythos that any version is likely to be true if you’re talking the American version.

Source, native. The women being there is the thing that’s least likely to be true.

Nearly all of what historians have learned about one of the first Thanksgiving comes from a single eyewitness report: a letter written in December 1621 by Edward Winslow, one of the 100 or so people who sailed from England aboard the Mayflower in 1620 and founded Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. William Bradford, Plymouth’s governor in 1621, wrote briefly of the event in Of Plymouth Plantation, his history of the colony, but that was more than 20 years after the feast itself.

Well if they wanted to tell their side of the story, they should’ve won.

Not our fault they didn’t invent guns or a bunch of diseases by domesticating livestock in population centers!

disguy_ovahea ,

I pronounce it bore-zhwah. Is that wrong?

sensiblepuffin ,
@sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world avatar

Feel like that’s as correct as we can get, as Americans.

olosta ,

French pronounce the “ou” as is “tour”. But you do you.

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Tour as in tu- er or tore? I’ve heard it pronounced both ways here in the states

sensiblepuffin ,
@sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world avatar

Whoa what? I’ve never heard anyone pronounce tour as tu-er. At that point you might as well slap an umlaut on that bad boy

sensiblepuffin ,
@sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world avatar

Bore rhymes with tour… no?

agamemnonymous ,
@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works avatar

Bore rhymes with tore. Tour is closer to sewer

sensiblepuffin ,
@sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce “tour” as rhymes with “sewer” in English. Perhaps in other languages?

static09 ,

Maybe you’re pronouncing sewer in thinking of a person who sews instead of sewer as in waste drainage.

sensiblepuffin ,
@sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world avatar

Drainage system = soo-er Person who sews = soh-er Exploring a place, with or without a guide = tohr

That’s typically how I hear those pronounced. Idk, I get the sense that some think I’m trying to correct the OP when I’m just trying to figure out how the hell something is pronounced.

agamemnonymous ,
@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works avatar

Closer to sewer, or “doer” or “fewer”. Compress it to one syllable. Think “ooh” not “ohh”.

sensiblepuffin ,
@sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not… correcting you, I’m just explaining that I never hear anyone pronouncing tour such that it rhymes with either pronunciation of sewer.

agamemnonymous ,
@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works avatar

You said you’d never heard it that way, I just wanted to clarify that I communicated the right pronunciation since “sewer” is a bit more drawn out than I meant to imply. All good

sensiblepuffin ,
@sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry, I was a little defensive because some others seemed to think I was arguing with you. Your explanation made sense, though.

MutilationWave ,

Nah don’t get it wrong I get shit because I say tour instead of tore. Poem instead of pOh-ehm. Theatre instead of thee-ate-err

sparkle , (edited )

In most American dialects and some British dialects, “bore” and “tour” rhyme (called the “pour-poor merger”). But in some dialects it may rhyme with “sewer”/“two-er” or have the same sound as in “blue” or even as in “were”.

sensiblepuffin ,
@sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world avatar

Aha. See, that explains the disconnect. Thank you.

gravitas_deficiency , (edited )

A more aggressively American pronunciation would be bore-ge-oh-is.

JovialSodium ,

I and anyone I’ve heard say the word says it the same as the English pronunciation in this random video I found searching for how to pronounce it. For whatever that small sample size is worth.

    Lol Idk I’m not a linguist, me probably from hearing it pronounced that way in media.

    “DOWN WITH THE BOURGEOISIE!”

    Seems like it comes from the French pronunciation? Idk man

    disguy_ovahea ,

    Those are two different words. Bourgeois is an adjective describing the materialist characteristic of the middle class. The bourgeoisie is the materialistic middle class itself.

    Jakeroxs , (edited )

    Ah I misread then lol

    Boosh-E is probably more accurate then?

    Or booshjie lol

    For fucks sake we say boozhwah or boojee.

    as long as the French get offended by the pronunciation, then it’s pronounced correctly in American

    whotookkarl ,
    @whotookkarl@lemmy.world avatar

    ‘Boojz wah’, or if I’m feeling silly bourguignon. But I’d probably be more likely to use ‘middle class’ instead of the French.

    MovingThrowaway ,

    I’ve heard it with varying degrees of the R sound. There’s a common shorthand “bougie” (BOO-zhee) that people often hear before learning the original term, so they’ll maintain the pronunciation into BOO-zhwa.

    Sometimes the R is slightly swallowed so it sounds more like BOH-zhwa, maybe very light throat vocalization. Or people skip over it and it’s buh-ZHWA. Some commit fully for BOR-zhwa.

    Universally seems to maintain (my non-native understanding of) the French “oi” and silent S.

    I have yet to hear anyone pronounce it correctly: bor-gee-oice.

    Beurj-wah
