How do you say Router?
 

Is it like rooter
or is it like rowter

or is it different?

Rooter...

rooster
.

I say rowter.
But i'm northern.

Rooter.

Aye...

Don't worry, I don't think any less of you...

You mean you can't think less of me because I am the last thing you think off?

I would never say that...

Rooter is the snake thingee you put in your toilet to clean out CS's caca.

As in Roto-Rooter.

Google Translate says it's "rowter", not "rooter".

I say it like route-er (route like rhyming with shout). In polish it's said root-er

Rooter, lol, thats like saying its the ruff, get the fuck out of here

I have absolutely no idea what you are on about..

Rowter. Unless youre an idiot with no grasp of the english language.

This.

If someone ever told me to go reboot the rooter, I'd punch them in their shit.

Rooter...

Better go punch Eddy's owner and Scott McD then.

American English and UK one are two very different sounding languages :) When I was working with the UK guys about 16 years ago, I've leaned a lot. E.g. they say: Roosha (Russia), boos (bus), coop (cup) etc.. Very funny actually :)

No surprise.

same as powder

Did you work with a lot of guys from Newcastle? - That sounds very geordie to me...

lol - That's a bit OTT...

Just a thought - Is it root or rowt 66?..

I am thinking about the song obviously.....

rooter. router is a tool for wood... and it's root 66 :)

Australian English a rooter is someone who is sexually promiscuous and to root is to have sexual intercourse.

I wasn't going to mention that - I thought it would confuse the issue even more:upsidedow...

What he said. Occasionally; "You piece of shit!", but it is what it is. Never should have taken the free upgrade.

The song says root; if you are planning a trip, your route can be pronounced either way: "What rawt or root will you take?" with rawt being used more often around here.

But a wood rawter is different because rooter is spelled rooter.

I understand - It was meant to be a leading question...

You're obviously from a different part of Yorkshire.

Unless you mean rota...

It's not Yorkshire.
I say root 66 as well.

I've never heard anyone pronounce it as rooter. Always rowter. But I'm in Canada.

WTF? I've never heard anybody pronounce it 'ROOTER' rhymes with 'LOOTER'. It's ROUTER rhymes with SHOUTER.

old highways were often named ROUTE, like the famous Route 66, pronounced to rhyme with BOOT.

when kids still delivered newspapers, it was called a paper route - now with that one it seemed to go both ways, some rhymed it with boot and some with shout.

I remember being at a small tech gathering years ago - I was very unsure of myself and when I had to say certain words I panicked a bit - gif is a classic - gif or jif? - So I decided to spell those sorts of things out - g-i-f for example...

By the end of the evening everyone was doing it - It's then that I realised they were all as clueless as me.....

Now I am a LOT older and say what I like - Fuck'em...

From the whole UK (England, Scotland etc). One guy who was talking this way was surely from London. When he swore it was like "fok!" :)

"Root" of course. Listen to the song:

He most definitely wasn't (either pronouncing the words like that, or from London) :2 cents:

I say it the right way because I'm not an inbred idiot from a fishing shack in upstate New York.

The gif debate was always easily solveable - since it's short for Graphics Interchange Format - you don't spell (or pronounce) Graphics with a J.

My wife always calls me out on my pronunciation of 'Italian'. I say it 'eye-talian' - but she insists it's 'i-talian' (i as in idiot). She's right, of course...but I intentionally mispronounce it just to irritate her. :1orglaugh

I pronounce it SISS-COE

rooter, of course

He was, and I'm sure about that :)

so i guess across the pond says rooter, north america says rowter.

pussy hole

Reuters ...

butthole i mean
