IWSTI Addict since: Dec 1969 Trader Rating: (11) | Re: Jay Leno Documentry on Sprots cars Yes...it's pronounced "Porsha" no matter what country you live in I've never heard a "real car person" call a porsche a "porsh" in my entire life...but I guess you learn something new every day. |

IWSTI Addict since: May 2005 Trader Rating: (2) | Re: Jay Leno Documentry on Sprots cars I pulled this from the following web site: http://members.aol.com/fanetiks/corrpron.html#P "Porsche* The one-syllable pronunciation Paursh is slang, on the order of "Beemer" for another German sportscar, the BMW. Anyone can use any slang pronunciation he wants, in his own in-group. I mockingly say Páurskee for Porsche among friends and family. But the respectful pronunciation is Páur.sha." Everybody wins, Yay!  This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |
