F'war'
FWAR!
PHWOAR IS IT GOOD PHWOAR!
poor Edwin Starr gag
let's move on
replied in the wrong place
let's really move on
uh
What DanielKelly said
wut?
Like war
but with an 'f' in front
yeah but god knows how you guys pronounce war
this was maybe an impossible thread
How else can you pronounce war?
ask tony blair
SATTIRE
i mean with your accents and all
it was sort of a joke, but also not. it's a sort of clipped and dull sound for me if i say it that way. it doesn't sound very phwoary.
Then you aren't saying it
LOUD ENOUGH
PHWOAR!
I've just said it aloud many times repeatedly. I can't stop giggling at it, it's nonsense.
I think my olds can hear and are probably wondering what the hell has gone wrong with me.
"phwoar" *giggle* "phwoar" *giggle* "phwoar. phwoar." *giggle*
Probably think you're watching porn
I was shocked to learn that three girls I know regularly watch porn. Is this common?
no, it's not common as far as i know
and they don't know what "phwoar" means, so i doubt that. plus they keep walking by, so they can see i'm watching the news. or maybe they do know, and think i'm doing it at TJ Holmes. PHWOAR.
how do we pronoune WAR
WAR
exactly how its spelt?
FWORE like that
'PHW' then 'OAR'
^ In his case
Extremely loudly while the person he is saying it about is just behind him
I knew you'd mention that
How is she these days? Still phwoar?
Erm, I don't know
This reminds me, I should really apologise to JohnM
Nah, don't bother
You're right
Get used to it
isn't it about time your boss came back?
fingers crossed
he's taking my bufoon perch too easily
So it is like an actual word, not just the way you denote a certain sound?
GWAR!
dont confuse the poor girl!
people don't actually say this in real life
do they?
i've heard a lot of 'lads' say it
FFFWOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR!
"I R PHITT, HEAR ME PHWOAR"
^ bringing sexism back
a doc all about it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1_jgOYJ0gI
oh
that doesn't sound very phwoary. it sounds more like "wow, what? i am so taken aback!" but not in a hot way.
Just roll the r at the end
and put the stress on the last syllable. Like a french word.
Phwoaarrrrrr.
Hott.
you're pulling my leg
i've done it anyway.
Nobody says this in real life...
Unless you're a male chauvinist from a fictional 70's Tele programme.
