Redenbacher / Rickenbacker

[longhouse]

My kids have grown up around Rickenbacker guitars. And so they know how to say it properly.

It's funny, my son just said something about Orville Reden-backer kettle corn.

+1 for the home team.

Conquering the world, one backer at a time.

A hallmark moment.

I have a friend who knows how much I love Rickenbacker instruments. But he can't pronounce Rickenbacker correctly. He says it sort of like, "Riddinbacker". I've tried correcting him, but he still says it his way. Oh well, he's a great guy otherwise.

Ha! Know what you mean, Joey...... when my daughter was a toddler she always wanted to go to the 'sukermarpet'!

[longhouse]

I'm loving sukermarpet!

Don't forget "Pasketti"

[jimk]

....or gaspetti, either.

How about pe-toes, how my oldest daughter said potatoes when she was about 2.

[qwezirider]

Pasketti, leddow (yellow), battities (batteries), Root D six (Route 66), meat meal (oat meal)...those were my favorites.

Oh yeah..."On non!!!" When my youngest was mad at her older brother, Johann.

What you said, Noel, really made me smile. My friends (the musicians, anyway) have all started saying "Rickenbacker" the correct way ever since I said, "If you call the corporate office, they would say something along the lines of "RickenBACKer International Corporation, how may I help you?"

Hmmm...

Bosco chocolate milk additive was called "dunn-air" by my ex-wife in her childhood. Her folks could not figure out what she meant when she asked for dunn-air in her milk. Finally, they asked her to show them. She walked over to the cabinet, where Bosco was kept on a bottom shelf, and pointed "dunn-air". She meant, of course, "down there".

My youngest brother Woody went through a brief phase where he simply could not pronounce the letter "U". This came to a head when he told my other brother Butch, who could not get the kitchen radio to work, "Pit in the plig, *****!!!"

Ain't that the title of the new Kanye West release?

Years ago, my friend's two-year-old daughter's favorite movie (flying monkeys, et al) was 'Wiz Woz'...

Actually, you hear a recording of the Hard Day's Night chord, followed by "Thank you for calling Rickenbacker." I speak only truth.
