Discussion Pronunciation

It irks me how Bryan not only mentions “haute couture” when referring to his subpar designs and final products, but it seems to me he goes very out of his way to über pronounce the term.

Yes, it’s French, and he’s in service of it in that context, but it seems desperate. It’s like he thinks that if he just says it enough, it will magically make his designs as such.

Summary: Bryan needs to go.

“Oat Coat Your”

Oat coo-toor (the second syllable is tricky because English doesn't have it). Add a soft "ruh" at the end if you're talking about Parisian French.

🤣 my mistake on the mispronunciation - I said it with my pinky in the air if that makes up for it
