    Is it bay-by or bah-by ?

    I have always thought it was bay-by. But then i have heard people say bah-by. Which is it?

    Who on earth says bay-by. If anything I'd pronounce it bay-bee, but not bay-bye.

    Bay-by

    Bah-by if you're the child's granny or retarded.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    For some reason this reminded me of how poor auld Snuffleupagus Gerry Ryan used to pronounce it "Paid-Oh-feel".

    In general converstaion its bay-bee. If chating to a friend or cousin and asking about their baby, then its, 'hows the bah-bee?'

    Might be something in that, which reminds me of how some people change Santa into Santee. :confused:

    I'd consider a puppy crawling out your babby-hole to be scarier.
