        Nay from me, for such variances of speech are wrought clear as by the Stone of Alexandria.

        While my brain feels pain from being stuck in Shakespeare mode, I gladly find that I can freshly read this Z-speak. It giveth me hope to see our generations Twix’d, that some sweet crunch of justice might produce this flimsy wrapper.

        Say I continue with said gen-z memes, but only if we follow with the Chewie rawrs of translation.

        Forsooth I must be done with Shakespeare’s voice if I’m to think with ought but frank exhaustion. The verse at times goes on too long fr.

          Father, thy woman driveth thee to lovers’ foppish folly

          Forsooth, but dignity is coin I gladly trade for Cupid’s coveted ware — She is fair moonlight upon the waters of my soul

          Speak narrow truth now Father for such promises my childish heart cannot but leap upon with faith

          Tis ground I speak to catch thy eager feet, Child, and though it bury my ambition it lifteth me as well it quench my thirst

      1. Dad, you’re not cool. You’re madly in love with my mother, and it’s cringey.

      2. Maybe it’s weird, but your mother is special and I can’t imagine life without her.

      3. She’s the best person I’ve ever met.

      4. Are you sure? – I’m positive.

          Skibidi is just a stupid YouTube video series that went viral - the same as all the other stupid memes that prior generations absolutely adore:-). It’s an “in-joke” in that you either have heard of it or not, despite being sent around by elementary school children. It’s not ah… uh… “good”, in the classical sense, but it is somewhat remarkable in being made by someone easily with modern technology, and not needing any dialog it is understandable world-wide.

          Here is a ~1 minute version that pretty much sums up what the whole thing is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePNs-G7puA.

        For me “skibidi-bap” is a vocal flourish I’d hear in dub or reggae, like, not as classic as “booom selecta” or some others but it’s up there.

        It’s pretty close to actual English:

        “Father, you have no charisma. You are fruitlessly pursuing the love of your wife for real, it’s cringeworthy!”

        “I might be shit, but your mother has a lot of charisma. My world is boring without her”

        “She’s the greatest of all time”

        “Seriously?” “Yes for real.”

        “I might be (???) but your mom got mad game. My world turns upside down without her. She’s the greatest of all time.”

        “For real?”

          "I might be bad (skibidi), but your mom got mad charisma (rizz).

        Translation without hesitation. Transcription bypassing conniption. As Bill Mahr says it blows his mind, to see such rap in real time. A mind that can turn on a dime is indeed a thing of no friction. And it’s not just me or the B.I.G. that commands such a brilliant machine. It’s all who can speak or exclaim with a squeak who is heir to the vocally miraculous conceit.

    how to i pronounce fr? (even if i don’t say it out loud i gotta pronounce it in my head)

    do i expand the acronym and say “for real” (e.g. /fə‿ɹiːl/) or do i say /fɹ/ like in fruit?

        i don’t understand why most people on the internet don’t use IPA for conveying pronunciation

        while it is more complicated, and unless you are a phonology nerd, you have to look things up (including me), it is incredibly more concise

        it is, in fact, the only way to concisely convey any pronunciation (excluding single language focused phonetic notations)

        different english dialects have different pronunciation: e.g. fur can be /fɜː(ɹ)/, /fɜɹ/ and /fʌr/

        While this is not the case for your comment, others also use made-up words for conveying pronunciation. Ghoti is a perfect example why that is problematic.

          Not sure if you’re looking for a legitimate answer or not but I can provide my take: to me, looking at that standard, I cannot make heads or tales of the pronunciation at a glance. Learning a whole new set of symbols and standards is simply more effort and less efficient in the long run when considering the amount of necessity actually required. I.E. it is not an incredibly common everyday issue. It can also be meaningfully resolved with something more linguistically universal (the known and taught alphabet), so the time spent, the effort expended, does not pay dividends and ultimately the half measure typically works near equivocally.

          I am aware of Ghoti (fish) and Ptoughneigh (Tony) but really, those a more fun experimental ways to twist pronunciations and examples given generally sick to things people would know and understand the way to pronounce, and if not, could also be easily fixed. Even so many would not even second guess because the importance is usually of such low value that it can be wrong until corrected, further diminishing the value of learning a more rare and nonstandard (for general communication) standard.

          Different dialects do tend to have slights to the pronunciation but again, it just feels like such a non-issue.

          That’s simply my layman take as to why I wouldn’t learn it. I can’t speak for anyone else

      It’s halfway in between. You say “f’ree”. It sits in the spot between 1 and 2, like a wobbly and uncertain syllable, that lingers as “mine” beyond “me”.

      Notice how the former is longer than the latter, despite being the same number of notes. A warble, a wiggle, a bridge between meters, “FR” is timed out like “baroque”.

        what?

        mine is /maɪ̯n/

        me is /miː/ (UK), /mi/ (US) or /mɪ/ (northern England)

        baroque is /bæˈɹɒk/ (UK) or /bəˈɹoʊk/ (US)

        do you just want to add an /iː/ between fr and fr?

        /fɹiːfɹ/?

      Pretty sure it’s just expanded and pronounced “for real,” so frfr would be “for real for real.”
