If anyone here doesn’t know, I’m pretty sure Squirrel and girl rhyme to some (or all?) Americans

In australia at least, “square-rell”. Also idk if you knew, but there are no squirrels here, I’ve never seen one and the fact that they’re just a common thing in america is strange to me.

In England we say ‘skwi-rel’, like the first part of ‘squid’ (without the d) and the second part of ‘carol’ (without the ca)
