    Like pronouncing lorry "LURRY"


    Like pronouncing spoon "SPOO-WIN"

    Lurry is a Dundalk thing, no? Like saying book to rhyme with spook.

    It’s pronounced donkey.

    A dunkey is possibly slang for a biscuit you dunk in your tea. Sounds like something they’d have in Australia.

    Book is meant to rhyme with spook. Pronouncing it "Buck" or suchlike is just wrong.

    The proper pronunciation is Daang-Key.

    God bless America.

    DUNkey
    Are we no better than the beasts in the field and I’m not talking about the common chicken, I’m talking about the mighty oxen and the dunkey! With his floppy ears and his pea brain and his stolid slack-jawed gaze. A revolting creature, if there ever was one who walked the earth!

    Book rhymes with look.


    That's of course if you say "I took a look" and not "I tewk a lewk".

    The animal is a donkey. Dunkey can be used to describe certain biscuits

    Is the name of this animal pronounced DONkey or DUNkey?

    What do you call a dunkey with three legs?

    A wunky.

    Seriously, get the fuck outta here with your "DUNkey". Which one of you thinks it's "DUNkey" anyway? If it's your wife, divorce her. If it's you, tell your wife to give me a call and I'll persuade her to leave you for a man who knows how to talk properly (me) and is also hong like a dunkey (also me).

    I agree that Book rhymes with Look, some people would pronounce that "I tuck a luck" though. Book, Look, Nook, Cook etc. all rhyme and the double O is audible.
