Can you name a cat DUKE?
Since I wrote the message, i would be glad to tell you what UB means,
except I can't find it anywhere, so can't put it in context. Please quote the relevant passage so I can tell you what I MEANT to spell . Bridget Dan just wrote UB means "under breath", as if the comment marked with "UB" had been muttered softly. HTH Hug Kyla |

Haven't met a feline "Duke" yet! I guess it's a cute name for a boycat. Except I always hang the "e" sound as a nickname: Like Franky, Booty, Bikkie, etc. "Dooky" sounds kinda bad :-) Why? -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |

Yes, of course. I know a cat named Rover, as a matter of fact. Actually, he sounds a lot like a dog I knew named Duke, pronounced "DOOK." DOOK was a pitbull with a permanent scowl, who loved kittens. In my mind, Duke and Dook sound identical... Unless you mean "rhymes with book"? -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |

In England, and in many parts of the US, the correct pronunciation is considered to be something like "dyook." It certainly is a bit posher sounding. "DOOK" is just how we used to say it in Brooklyn. It sounds a little more working-class. -- Theresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |

Outside of North America, "Duke" sounds like "Juke". Which still sounds like "Dook" to me, LOL. I hear "dook" to rhyme with "kook", or if you forget the final letter, it's like the "oo" in "food". That's also how I would pronounce "juke" - the "u" sounds to me like the "u" in "fluke", "soon", "too", etc. How does the "u" in "Juke" sound to you? -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |

Sorry, I'm a bit crabby, and I'm taking offense easily. But I don't know any less than any of the rest of the people on this newsgroup, although maybe I just know *different* things. -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |
