Pronunciation of PPRuNe
Silly question, but how does one pronounce PPRuNe?
A:ooh: |
It depends on how you are using the word. For example:
I am reading Pea-Prune. I am a Pruner. I am going to a Pea-Prune fly-in. Generally, Prune is the more familiar version. |
you see i've always pronounced it
"pea-pea-roon" |
What's wrong with you, boy? You need taking out and giving a good seeing to! BRL, bring the high voltage battery and the table lamp with the halogen bulb. :suspect:
|
I say "puh-prune", but the real answer is "Cholmondely".
Tomorrow, if I have time, I shall post for your delectation the famous "Ballad of P O Prune", which isn't on the net as far as I know, so will have to be typed in. |
I have heard both p-prune and prune in approximately equal proportion.

pea-pea-a-rooney:O

Overheard en-route to the Isle of Wight a few weekends ago:
G-abcd: Gabcd Final Sandown Radio: Roger, runway is clear, errr, are you a prune? G-abcd: Affirm. 2 prunes on board Sandown Radio: After landing vacate left and park with the other prunes near the windsock. This was repeated several times so by the time I called for joining information I insert "1 prune on board" into my initial call. TG. |
Molesworth fans will remember the episode: "The prunes are revolting".
|
I'm a "proon"...The extra "Pea" just adds to an already cluttered audio spectrum....:}
|
I pronounce it "Prune", "Pruner", and "Pruning".
|
I always thought it were "prune" but then I attended a Gatbash and everyone - John Farley included - pronounced it "p prune". Correction made.
|
What does He Who Must Be Obeyed think?
(That's Danny, not Evo.) |
As I recall from that bash, Mr D p prunes too (you ought to remember, you were there and tried to solicit a donation for the PPRuNe Fund from me.)
|
Just "prune" as far as I am concerned...!!!!!

pprune - proon
ffyffe - fyfe etc, etc |
Easy - prune, prunery or just plain pruneing.God, We're bored...
|
Pshaw, it's simply "prune".
|
It is so sad :{ that I can even be bothered to get even slightly worked up about this for a fleeting moment; but I am.
How can it be prune, pruner, pruning, and so forth, when there are two Ps? :uhoh: It has to be Pee-Prune, remember there's the word professional in there, too. |
Peas with prunes? :yuk:
