My sister used to mispronounce Burger King "Bobo Ding;" I still call it that.

I`m still not getting it.

As in Mike?
As in Mick ( Jagger) ?

Every time I hear it, it sounds like M-a-c-k to me.

Gotta listen closer next time...

Last night I dreamed John Entwhistle of the Who was still alive and lent me his red velvet shirt.

Why do some people pronounce the fast food burger chain as "MACK-donalds"? There's no "a" between the M and the c. Is this a regional thing?

How do you say it???

Like Mick Jagger--that's why I spelled it with the "k".

Really?
So you say " Mick Donalds" ?
We must speak a different version of English here in Canada then, I`ve never heard anyone saying it like that...
Thankee anyway.

Or, as the human larvae down here pronounce it, "MAK DANNOW, MAK DANNOW!!!"

[Suzana]

okay, NOW I'm confused... LOL

Isn't Mc an abbreviation for MAC?

And how are we supposed to say it?

[Bryan James]

Who cares? Burger King is better.

This is hilarious, because my little sister used to mispronounce Wendy's as "Wingeys" and to this day I still call it "Wingeys"!

That is funny Srbo, you guys really call it MACK-Donalds? That confirms my suspicion that it's a regional thing.
