i can't watch the video with sound right now, but i am dying to know how she pronounced it.
ive never heard someone use the last one, but her history with xanax and self-assured ignorance makes me think anything is possible.
EDIT: she says Mo-beel. damn, i was hoping for her bullshit attempt to seem plugged into regional, low stakes political machines to shit its pants at church.
She said mo-beel. Maddow also called her a talent spotter for the party
It takes a loser to spot a loser
Now that’s talent!
no shit. that was the first thing i was wondering too
What's the correct pronunciation?
mo-beel. it's kind of a cliche at this point and probably happens less now, but it could be like a shibboleth for national (re: not southern) news anchors assuming it's like mobile phone or mobil oil, instead of a french-creole take on something like Mabila/Mavila, itself an exonym, trade-language & name of a walled town of the indigenous peoples DeSoto fought with.
I'd make that mistake
probably many would. there's a lot of smaller cities all over the US that have counter-intuitive pronounciations and the only way to know them is to be taught. as a weirdo, i like learning them.
im just bummed someone on the Kopmala team had the knowledge and foresight to feed it to her. it would have been hysterical to blow the line like she has ever given half a dry fuck about the gulf coast.
I've always heard mo-beel
