Very important, urgent question!!!!

[KimGordon67]

Liquor is "licker"

Liqueur is "le-k'yure"

And anyone saying otherwise is to be forced to drink Kirsch, as their only source of liquid, for a week.

I'm super-impressed with this - I was trying to work out how to write the correct pronunciation.

But liquor also has a cooking-specific definition - maybe this is what they're meaning? "liquid in which something has been steeped or cooked.; liquid which drains from food during cooking."

Dolf summed it up in one post.

Your post has clouded my shine. I get and agree with the first definition.
1. alcoholic drink, especially distilled spirits.

I am not feeling the love with number two.
2. liquid in which something has been steeped or cooked.; liquid which drains from food during cooking.

Any examples?

Where does it comes from? What is the source?

Grains. Barley. Corn. Potatoes (Vodka).



"Whiskey is a spirit that is distilled from fermented grain mash. This same grain mash is the stuff that is also used to make beer."

"Best quality barley is first steeped in water and then spread ... "

"The water is added in 3 stages and gets hotter at each stage, starting around 67°C and rising to almost boiling point.

The quality of the pure Scottish water is important. The mash is stirred, helping to convert the starches to sugar. After mashing, the sweet sugary liquid is known as wort. ... "

All of the various liquors are a result of cooking food products and boiling off or draining waters or liquids.

 

[jomar]

Is that for liquor, or liqueur?
Or, god forbid... both?

Licker = liquor

Liqueur = lickyoor, lick + your. But the haughty also say lehkyoor.

The way I say it rhymes with sure or were, not door.

sure doesn't rhyme with were in Ye Oldie UK speak
We say shoo-ar for sure, but we do whir for were ( whir as in machine whirring )

You guys might say the first part of the word puree with less 'err'.

The American tongue pulls away into the mouth when saying pure. UK tongue kinda rolls and pushes forward.... yes, I am sitting here thinking about my tongue and saying the words out loud

too funny

I think the pea goo that Sean mentioned on the previous page is an example?

I’ve heard southern chefs refer to “pot liquor” when discussing the liquid left from cooking beans or collard greens and such.

Posh English can't handle the sound 'o' and drag it out into 'oeew' as in 'own' so scone becomes 'sc-own'

We have the Cheltenham Ladies College in the UK. They and the pretend-royals have their own language. My favourite is 'diet coke' which in faux posh should be pronounced 'dark cake'. If can you say 'dark cake' without your lips touching you're already in line for the throne.

or, as my dear departed mum and all my infant/junior teachers (mostly nuns) would say, 'the correct way to pronounce it
you should have heard some of the iterations of stereophone *bites walls*

Liquor is "licker"

Liqueur is "le-k'yure"

H pronounces that as 'lickurr'

li-k'yure ... small 'i' sound as in 'in' and the stress on the y'ure

I never read Sean.

Pea goo for the W!

and us essex types (lundun an' all, init) say it more like 'shore'. lol @ shoo-ar. but whirr, uhuh

really opens one's eyes to how a poem will sound so different to various readers and may end up nothing like it's supposed to sound, ruining certain sound-links that create that cohesiveness line to line. aw fuck.

southern english is a 'tighter' language pronunciation wise than american (and i'm sure that's why so many american women have wide mouths ), but not as tight as the french--most of that you have to have almost pursed lips to speak

 

[randy4123]

Do Americans really pronounce "liqueur" as "le-kor"???

Lick'er if she's Southern
Le-kor if she's British

 

[rockcasbah]

Do Americans really pronounce "liqueur" as "le-kor"???

Isn't it pronounced lick'er?

here ya go

mushy peas are another thing altogether

The main dish sold is pie and mash, a minced-beef and cold-water-pastry pie served with mashed potato. There should be two types of pastry used; the bottom or base should be suet pastry and the top can be rough puff or short. It is common for the mashed potato to be spread around one side of the plate and for a type of parsley sauce to be present. This is commonly called eel liquor sauce or simply liquor (the term liquor does not imply alcohol content in its original meaning), traditionally made using the water kept from the preparation of the stewed eels. However, many shops no longer use stewed eel water in their parsley liquor. The sauce traditionally has a green colour, from the parsley.

used to be mainly eel pies, way way back

There's a difference between liquor and liqueur, people!

With all that is currently going on in our world, I would like to know just what kind of a selfish cunt would proclaim this question to be a "Very important, urgent question!!!!"?

 

[Fermina_Daza]

I'm sure it's likely more regional. Where I live, people say "pop" whereas I say soda. I always feel the need to ask a fellow "soda" speaker where they are from. Or picture comes out as "pitcher," wash as warsh, car as cah.

I don't drink alcohol so I had to think about how I pronounce liquor.

Most annoying are the people that say "sodee-pop".

Nope.

That'd be the ones who only say "pop". You never know if they're talking about a weasel or they want something to drink.

Window liquor.
