BOO-zhee imo
I thought about it and itâs hard to spell it out. âzhâ is probably right.
You are for real accusing me off misspelling a Migos reference. WTF is this pedantic ish. Goddamn, I donât know how this shit is spelled, I just heard it nonstop on the FM radio for a month and itâs buried itself into my brain. Commercial radio is garbage, I should think about getting one of those satellite radio things.

One thing I know for certain is the proles donât spend their time worrying about correct pronunciation.
Depends on the accent⌠We Scots would always say Ghee
But thatâs clarified butter with some caramelized bits.
Why does language have to be so hard?
IndeedâŚYou can literally walk a mile past my house and people talk with a different accent and language almost. 
Alough I must admit, my city is the outlier.
You seem like a keen linguist
^ this joke is like Miles Davis, itâs the note that wasnât played

This is correct. It derives from a popularized pronunciation of the word where the R is sklentâboozshwahâleading to the further common manâs slang of boozshee.
A cursory look into it suggests that it has origins in African-American slang, derived from âbourgeoisâ, meant to mock pretentious black people.
Truest post in this thread
WTF at anyone hating on TJâs. I could win the lottery tomorrow and Iâd still go to TJâs over anywhere else.
Even though we all know he almost certainly is an atheist (you canât tell me Obama and the Clintons arenât either), I remember him being asked about this and he wouldnât come out and say so one way or another.
While I think youâre 1000% right that people are less likely to vote for an atheist (attacking his atheism would no doubt be more damaging to him than anything about his Democratic âsocialistâ policies), what makes you think weâre not ready to elect a female president? Sexism is alive and well in America, but I hope youâre not comparing Warren to HRC. I do think a female can successfully be elected president. Am I naive?
What makes you think either of the Clintons is an atheist?
For that matter, what makes you think Obama is an atheist?
You never can really know for sure because of the stigma in this country that is associated with being one. I think it would be harder to get elected to any office in this country as an atheist than being gay, Jewish, or just about any other minority. But why do I think the Clintons are atheists? This might sound condescending, but I simply think theyâre both too smart and well educated to believe in an invisible being who answers prayers, etc. âMaybeâ theyâre deists, but I doubt even that.
There are what? 535 members of congress? I can think of one who openly admitted to being an atheist on his way out of the door before retiring. Are there any others? From a sheer statistical standpoint there should be a minimum of ~16 atheists in the house and senate. And that number should be higher since religiosity and belief in god tends to decline with higher education. The Clintons are both well educated and smart. I think we have many more elected officials who are atheists than are willing to admit to. Doing so would be political suicide in America
And yes. Iâm pulling this out of my ass with no hard evidence to back it up, but I think these are reasonable assumptions
Same reasons listed above for the Clintons and other politicians. Iâd also be shocked if Barney Frank or Al Franken werenât athiests. Ditto for Katie Porter and even AOC and many others. You simply have to pay lip service to god (and of course, the Christian god) if you want to have any chance of being elected president in America. We are one of the most religious countries in the world, but am glad to us trending towards secularism and other religious tolerance (Ilhan Omar, etc.)
