I think he was trying to say "gagged" but it does sound like "gay" lol

[–] Taniwha420@lemmy.world 30 points 5 days ago (4 children)

... You might be right. He has a weird accent, and if he pronounced the 'a' like an American and swallowed the 'gg' ...

Or maybe that's the secret do defeating the Conservatives? "We can totally make an LNG pipeline to the coast, but ... err ... that would make you all pretty gay."

Re-watching it, and yeah, has to be gagged. If you listen closely, there's a small "click" after what at first sounds like "gay", which is likely an "ed" sound.

gay and gagged dont sound alike?

[–] Taniwha420@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No... Not at all. "gae" Vs "gahgged". Gay has a hard A, gagged had a soft A. Plus gagged had a 'gg' sound in the middle, and also a D sound at the end. Actually, the only thing they have in common is starting with a G.

Do they sound the same to you?

[–] cod@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it like that. Everyone I know says “gaygged”. Must be a regional thing or something.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

almost everyone saying "GAAAG-ED" never heard of GAYED.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

or fruedian slip?

It reminds me of my teacher from northern Wisconsin that would say words like "bag" and "flag" as "bayg" and "flayg". She would say "back" and "flack" like you'd expect but for some reason "-ag" words got the different vowel

Um, can we make this happen? Like immediately?

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Oh man, I was for LNG but that's pretty gay tho. Gotta have to cancel.

[–] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He definitely says "gagged". This post is ridiculous.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 days ago

This response is pretty gay, imo.
