How do you pronounce Nigel Farage?

[BunnyKillBot]

Given the media obsession with ensuring this name gets constant airtime, in particular the BBC who have a weekly quota to reference to the man so we all know his name, it baffles me why everybody is saying his name pretentiously wrong.

Garage

GA - RAAJ ('Oh darling, do put the aston martin in the gah raaaaaaj')
GA - RIDGE ('Yeah, chuck it in the ga rige mate, lol)

I propose we correct this mispronunciation with immediate effect.

 

[Kosmiche]

Nidgel

 

[BunnyKillBot]

Nidgel

Exactly! NI GUL FA RIDGE

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

It's pronounced "****".

 

[MrMoonX]

**** face

 

[wildman]

pronunced "nob" tbh

 

[smelly_legend]

Cabbage, like Hibs.

 

[ChroniC]

Bit like Rory Mcilroy..

There is no A in it, pronounce it Mik il roy.

 

[antijoke]

Racist.

I think that's the current PC thing to say.

 

[DaleTheWhale]

Bit like Rory Mcilroy..

There is no A in it, pronounce it Mik il roy.

Mc is pronounced Mac.

 

[LordSplodge]

**** or **** or ****** or ****head. Chose anything that the filter stars out and it probably fits.

 

[ChroniC]

Mc is pronounced Mac.

Not with the scottish people i've ever met its not.

I could full well be wrong, but I went to school with a kid who had the same name and it wasn't macilroy.

Maybe it's pronounced merrrkillroy, I just hate the way the Americans it like macolroy.

Also went to school with a kid called McGuiness and that wasn't Mackguiness. That was more merrrguiness.

 

[ShivP]

I say the first one in relation to the man himself but the second in relation to garage

 

[G-MAN2004]

I say the first one in relation to the man himself but the second in relation to garage

This.

 

[Monkeynut]

Garage doesn't really help as some say "Gar-harrrrge" and some say the proper northern way to say it like wot we do "Garridge"

Nah, Mc can quite easily be Mac

 

[estebanrey]

There are actually three pronunciations of 'Garage'

Ga-ridge (Common British)
Ga-raj (Posh British)
G'raaaaj (American)

The 'posh' English way of saying it at the US version of it are similar but not the same.

 

[Freefaller]

I personally would say Ga-raj. So I'd say Fah-raj.

However I know his as "****".

 

[thep02]

Nihuel Fahrahgeh

 

[murah]

****ing twatbag
