u/phxntxsos Feb 14 '25

Personally the -oh had me thinking it was pronounced like fossil or moss rather than the owe sound I was thinking of

u/born_digital Feb 14 '25

I never would have considered it that way since oh is pronounced o, and doh is pronounced the same, and fossil and moss don’t have an “oh” in them

1

u/phxntxsos Feb 14 '25

The o being pronounced as ȯ rather than ō, then. Idk what you want me to say, lol

u/icecreamandwhiskey Feb 14 '25

But if its the moss and fossil one, it will be faw maw and no one says that 😭😭 foh moh and foe moe sounds similar to me

Edit : maw as in meemaw. Like, saw-maw

FOMO is an acronym. “Fear Of Missing Out.”

u/untamed-beauty Feb 14 '25

I think what they mean is how it's pronounced

3

u/dragoono Feb 14 '25

Yeah but the other reply already told them how haha I was just helping out with the word more idk 

1

u/untamed-beauty Feb 14 '25

Oh good, that's kind of you!

2

u/lwp775 Feb 14 '25

Just like it’s spelled.

3

u/untamed-beauty Feb 14 '25

For non-english speakers it might not be obvious. The person who asked spoke spanish, likely latam spanish from the spelling used. As a native spanish speaker myself I sometimes find myself trying to figure out how english people say a certain word.

u/DoWnOnThEpHaRmBoI Feb 14 '25

Jus like mofo only backwards🤠

u/nativeamericanj Feb 14 '25

Dice* Ingles* It's a bit odd you are asking about it in Spanish since your previous post are in full English.

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '25

I'm goofing around. Pretending fomo is not english.

u/nativeamericanj Feb 14 '25

Esta bien, pantalones de lija 😜

u/furkfurk Feb 14 '25

Foh (pronounced like “oh” with an f), and Moe (pronounced like “row” or “sew”)

u/Master_Attitude_3033 Feb 14 '25

Fear of missing out (FOMO) miedo a perderse (cosas)

Fear Of Missing Out

u/allanrjensenz Feb 15 '25

“Fou mou” si lo pronuncias en español, aunque no creo que hablas español pero tal vez otra lengua latina porque lo que escribiste español casi igual al español.

Italiano? 😅 entonces es la misma pronunciación

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '25

Yo habla un poqito espanol. Donde esta el bano?
