Wash ,'The Message'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Observation: when people in the '40s wanted to sound old-timey, they pronounced rodeo (as in, the place with horses and stuff) as "ro-day-oh.
I think that's how they actually pronounced it in the 40s. It's still how you pronounce Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
Sort of like the older pronounciation of Los Angeles with the hard "G."

Yeah, I know that's how you pronounce Rodeo Drive, but I guess I'd assumed that "ro-day-oh" was the newer pronunciation.
This movie is from the forties, but set around the turn of the century. Now I'm trying to think if I can remember hearing it one way or the other in any other movies from the forties that were actually set during the forties.
Poor SA. She's cat allergic, and suffering greatly, so of course the cats love her and won't leave her alone.
dictionary.com gives ro-deee-oh and ro-day-oh pronunciations for the horsey contest.
Stupid heat waking me up at 3am.
Hec, thanks for the Sean & S linkage. Seanieeeeeeeeeeeee you and S are so cute!

Assuming the word has Spanish origins, I think the "ro-day-oh" pronunciation would be the older, whereas Los Angeles would be los "ahn-hel-eese".
awake. don't wanna be.
Poor Perkins! What are you doing up so early?
Can we stick your cow-orker in a malfunctioning elevator with my ex-boss, her of the utterly incoherent writing skills, and leave them stuck in it until their brains melt into goo, and/or their use of words for communication becomes more communicaty?
No! What if they breed? Eeee!
