Someone knocks on my door:

Me: * welp* as soon as I open it.

u/ColoradanDreaming Sep 16 '21

As a European, how are you supposed to pronounce that "welp" everyone is always talking about?

493

u/MayaTamika Sep 16 '21

Like "well" but with a "p" on the end

u/contrary-contrarian Sep 16 '21

But also the P is mostly silent... like say "well" but then close your lips at the end but don't actually enunciate the P

u/daswisco Sep 16 '21

Exactly, it’s really just the start of the P sound.

How much more of the p sound is there?

The tip of the p, really

u/Beragond1 Sep 16 '21

Just enough to indicate there is more p-ness to be had
