"Bao-dler.
" The video example is just mispronouncing it.
The "Bow" in Bowdlerise is pronounced as in "bow down" and not as in "bow and arrow".
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
Can we add a note to the description of the first video clarifying that that person pronounced it incorrectly?
No "Bowser's Fury" questions please. I haven't played it yet.
The description of the actual article probably clarifies things fine enough. Plus this is a written site, so pronunciation isn't really a big priority (except I guess for screenreaders).
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Bowdlerise claims that the last name of Thomas Bowdler, who this trope is named after, is pronounced "bao-dler." But the very first video example pronounces it "boh-dler." Which is it?
