T206: A question of pronunciation...
Though I always just refer to them as "Sweet Cap" backs, what is the real way to pronounce "Caporal?"
CAP-or-al or Ka-POUR-al Last edited by usernamealreadytaken; 07-12-2010 at 09:19 AM. |

i seem to recall Mr. Sloate saying that it was pronounced "cap-rel", with emphasis on the first syllabel. but thats just going on memory, which usually isn't very good for me

It was my assumption that the first syllable is stressed, but it's only an educated guess.

I thought, and was pretty sure, it was Sweet CAP o ral.

I've always said...
Sweet ka-pour-al, with a light emphasis in the middle.
I also say "goo-dey" not "gow-dey"

I believe the answer is included in the streetball scene towards the beginning of The Pride of the Yankees. One of the kids mentions having some "Sweet CAP-oral" cards.
Oh, and as for Goudey, everything I've seen and heard indicates it's pronounced "GOW-dee", as in Curt Gowdy. Steve Last edited by Steve D; 07-12-2010 at 12:47 PM. |

The family members of the people who ran it also referred to it as "gow-dey," which is why I no longer call it "goo-dey" like I did for 20+ years.

Peed-mont.
Uhz-it, Ooze-it, or Use-it? |

Use-it.
As in "we have great tobacco, please use it." |
