Nah, I have the same kind of friends -- it doesn't matter how long we go without contact.
And we live to fight another day.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Of course, there's still a bunch of different pronunciations for Warwick - Wahwick, Wawwick, Wa'rk...
I was told that it was WAR-ick (from a tour guide at Warwick Castle, but that might just be a British thing).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yabbut, Wawwick RI is in a state where the letter R is outlawed, in spite of being the only state that starts with it....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
On the "clapboard" thing from a while back, I've heard it pronounced as both "clap-board" (from most people) and as "clabb'd" (in New England). I can't remember ever hearing "clabberd."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah we hear that one here, as well. (I was talking about Warwick, RI, gwound zewo for the silent r.)
(As amych has already noted...)

Hil, in New England "clabbered" would tend to be pronounced "clabbid" anyway.
OOH! Like when I realized the mother in Little Women is actually called "Mommy."

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying that I've never heard anybody pronounce that r and not say "clap-board."

My from Warwick RI former roommate called it "Warrick."

As I noted, many, many, pronunciations.
Henry Higgins could have a field day at the Warwick Mall.
