So why don't you explain it further, oh be-all-and-know-all of American football?

snoopster77 said:Yes, they are both correct. This is one of the variant things you have been harping on about but don't quite understand yourself.
ozhawk66 said:Main Entry: faux pas
Pronunciation: 'fO-"pä, fO-'
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural faux pas /-"pä(z), -'pä(z)/
Etymology: French, literally, false step
Try it one more time...
Pronunciation: 'fO-"pä = pho - pah
Who's your pa? Who's your daddy. You're a phopah for not getting it.
The slang spelling was a joke unto itself, knob-uh-leenus.

The Americans are just the variants.....

Yu speld it fonetikally and got it rong and haf tride to cuvver it up ever sinse.
Nice try if you can't tell the spelling joke unto itself.
slang
n 1: informal language consisting of words and expressions that are not considered appropriate for formal occasions; often vituperative or vulgar; "their speech was full of slang expressions" 2: a characteristic language of a particular group (as among thieves);
'Phopah' is neither vulgar nor part of any particular groups vocabulary.
Therefore 'phopah' is not slang.

snoopster77 said:Neither can you since you still at least attempt to use their language.
