It's pronounced Boot-Edge-Edge ?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the General Discussion forum).

So this is the proper pronunciation for Mayor Pete ? I've heard several different (mis)pronunciations, but I think calling him just Mayor Pete is easier ! This guy is a rising star so I think it would behoove us all to pronounce it right, right?!

We need a proper pronunciation guide, or President Asshole will make "jokes" about it.

Well, realistically, he's going to do that anyway.

He said to say "budda judge" -- That makes it basically two syllables, the other suggestion is more difficult and for me created three syllables - boot edge edge -- if you practice and say it quickly, it gets easier - and I noticed the difference in udge vs edge.

It's nice that people are trying to pronounce it
