Okay, but isn't "tough" pronounced "tuff?"

[–] unmarketableplushie@pawb.social 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"ough" can be pronounced /oʊ/ in words like "though" or "dough"

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah so he should've used the word "though." Not the word "tough."

[–] unmarketableplushie@pawb.social 3 points 7 months ago

That part of the joke is that "ough" can represent /oʊ/. Not that it WOULD, that it CAN.

And besides, the "th" in "though" is pronounced /ð/, and the "T" in "Tony" isn't.
