[Public Service Announcement] Pronunciation of "Toque"

[Bomoo]

Rhymes with "Luke" and does not rhyme with "soak." Say it with me now.

Just to add to usage notes because I'm compelled by linguistics training to do so:

In occupied southern British Columbia, 'toque' (pronounced here to rhyme with 'luke', because here rhyming with 'soak' means you're lighting a joint) doesn't even apply to woolen hats. Only to plaid ushanka-style hats that are furry are the inside. Hurray for regional variation.

Hm! Very interesting.

I see what you did there. XD

Thank god someone finally posted this and thank you devs for pinning it. +1. Have been watching a lot of gameplay videos on Youtube and have been getting really tired of hearing every Brit and American I watch pronounce it wrong.

Now I'm confused... merriam webster says it DOES rhyme with "soak"...

Well, they're American, so it makes sense. I didn't realize Americans pronounced the word differently until I mentioned to an American buddy how annoyed I was by all these youtubers consistently mispronouncing the word, and he told me that's how it's regularly said down in the wilds of occupied Southern Canada.

"Occupied Southern Canada" LOLOLOLOLOL!
