... You might be right. He has a weird accent, and if he pronounced the 'a' like an American and swallowed the 'gg' ...

Or maybe that's the secret do defeating the Conservatives? "We can totally make an LNG pipeline to the coast, but ... err ... that would make you all pretty gay."

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

gay and gagged dont sound alike?

[-] Taniwha420@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

No... Not at all. "gae" Vs "gahgged". Gay has a hard A, gagged had a soft A. Plus gagged had a 'gg' sound in the middle, and also a D sound at the end. Actually, the only thing they have in common is starting with a G.

Do they sound the same to you?

[-] cod@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it like that. Everyone I know says “gaygged”. Must be a regional thing or something.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

almost everyone saying "GAAAG-ED" never heard of GAYED.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

or fruedian slip?

[-] bricklove@midwest.social 8 points 10 months ago

It reminds me of my teacher from northern Wisconsin that would say words like "bag" and "flag" as "bayg" and "flayg". She would say "back" and "flack" like you'd expect but for some reason "-ag" words got the different vowel

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Um, can we make this happen? Like immediately?

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Oh man, I was for LNG but that's pretty gay tho. Gotta have to cancel.

[-] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

He definitely says "gagged". This post is ridiculous.

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 0 points 10 months ago

This response is pretty gay, imo.

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 22 points 10 months ago

He obviously misspoke but that's hilarious

[-] AGM@lemmy.ca 16 points 10 months ago

This and referring to everyone on stage as "contestants" were both pretty funny.

Think I read some study several years back (probably following the Trump-Clinton one) that concluded almost everyone always perceives their "team's" candidate as having won the debate, and the number of voters swayed by a stellar performance from another candidate is negligible.

Yeah, they're pretty damn pointless...

[-] loomy@lemy.lol 13 points 10 months ago

can someone explain this to me?

[-] KittyKalledKarma@slrpnk.net 33 points 10 months ago

Canadian leadership debate tonight, guy on the right is carney, guy on the left is Pierre Polievere or PP.

Carney asked about PP's refusal to get a security clearance despite being leader of the opposition in parliament. PP was stumbling in his response.

[-] loomy@lemy.lol 10 points 10 months ago

ok but why would he be gay for getting a clearance?

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

As someone else mentioned, he was probably trying to say the word 'gagged' and he talks weird.

This guy is weird enough that he can't even have media around unless he is scripted, so it doesn't surprise me.

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I hate the guy but I was actually surprised with his debate performance tonight

In the next 10 seconds he said 'gagged' so pretty mild fuckup I think

[-] loomy@lemy.lol 4 points 10 months ago

thats mildly entertaining tho

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I mean. That reaction by Carney is excellent clowning.

[-] brax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I hate defending a moron, but I'm also for fairness. If you listen closely, you can hear the "-gged" it's just not well pronounced.

He had no problem being gagged in that moment, clearly.

[-] AChiTenshi@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago

It's a slip up on PPs part. He's trying to say gagged but either due to getting the thought from his brain to his mouth getting mixed up, or just slipping up on the word It sounds much more like gay.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

freudian slip.

[-] loomy@lemy.lol 3 points 10 months ago

ah ok

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

Gagged. Are you all really hearing gay or is this a big troll?

[-] AChiTenshi@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

I heard gay on my first viewing. After playing it again I picked up on what he was actually trying to say. I think k it's something along the lines of mondegreen where you can hear the wrong words in songs.

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Not a troll. I heard it when I watched live and didn't figure out he meant gagged until he said it a second time. Listening to it again I can hear it either way, his pronunciation at the end is just a little off.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

PP is gay, make it known to his shitty conservative voters pls.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

They see him as a strongman. You won't have any luck with this.

[-] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

I think that's why conaervatives like PP but not JT.

Conservatives want to be the bottom so they don't like leaders they can fuck but rather prefer leaders who can fuck them.

[-] Nuxleio@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Holy shit guys. I need to get my security clearance!

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

Every accusation is a confession...

Seriously, probably meant to say gagged, and failed miserably. I still think it's a shit excuse.

Did PP's wife (who is present in way too high a percentage of his publicity material) know about this in advance? 🤣

[-] Lectral@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

He just took a drink of water too. Imagine if Carney had done a spit take.

[-] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

He needs the Forrest Gump "d" in there.

[-] Redex68@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

He obviously said gagged. It literally sounds more like gagged than gay even if he did mispronounce.

[-] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

I agree it's obvious he meant to say "gagged", but it absolutely sounds like he said "gay".

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah he said it like Gaygd

[-] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Can we get a link?

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 19 points 10 months ago

It's a 17 second video…

[-] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 15 points 10 months ago

Weird, Voyager is just displaying it as an image. Opening it in Firefox linked me to the Imgur video.

My bad!
