Sorry, English is my first language. What is bough? And hiccough? Am I supposed to know these words?

[-] Duranie@lemmy.film 11 points 1 year ago

Bough - think of the nursery rhyme "Rock-a-bye Baby" . A big tree branch.

Hiccough - I believe in time we've just simplified this to hiccup.

Woah. I always wondered what that meant in the nursery rhymes, not enough to Google it I guess. Thanks for clearing that up.

There's also the 'ock' pronunciation in McGloughlin

It's most definitely not pronounced 'ock' 🤨

Sometimes it may be prounouned 'off', but not always

(One of its origins is Mac Lochlainn)
