Veridicus Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Haha. Great question. I think I pronounce it PHAT-mass. Not that I would want to de-emphasize the Mass. Just rolls off my Standard Midwest tongue that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternhauser Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) In proper English, the word "phat" always receives more emphasis than any other word in the no more than four-word-long sentence. E.g. "That car be [i]phat!" [/i] ~Sternhauser Edited December 2, 2009 by Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 French philosopher, Rene Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender asks, "Can I get you a beer?" Descartes, a teetotaler, quickly interjects, "I think NOT!" and promptly disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philothea Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Wow... all this froth and babble makes it awkward to add something substantive to a topic. And everything seems to degrade into jokes pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
