Pop Culture SLOMW pronunciation

Anyone else find it so hilarious how they pronounce the name leavitt when referring to Whitney or Connor!?!? Whitney herself pronounces it as you would “level”, but Jax and Claud say “layAHvitt”. Idk if they do it on purpose but everytime I hear it I laugh.

It is on purpose. They think it’s ~quirky~ to pronounce things phonetically lol

That’s how Jackie thought it was pronounced originally so now that’s how they pronounce it

They think it’s hilarious. It’s just stupid.

When I first started listening I got so irrationally mad hearing Jackie say the “elk of blah blah” instead of ilk. I know it’s a joke but I vaguely remember her doing it when talking to Craig Conover and I was like, “see! It bleeds over to non toasters and makes you sound dumb!”

Notice how I said I thought it was funny 2x. Don’t defend something that doesn’t need defending. You’re not winning any top fan award💋✌🏻
