My Boy Draft 2022: Pick 29, Mr Bultitude

 

[Howard Moon]

Controversial opinion, but I like Bruce's pronounciation of 'Frarncis.' Don't @ me.

its a SA thing, they all do it

like a checkside, pls, what the hell is a checkside?

 

[eth-dog]

I don't mind it either tbh.

 

[VelvetSledge]

SA is weird. They call a Parma "parmi" and think West End is beer.

Also all of their shops close on a Sunday and that is just so bizarre to me

Pie floater.

 

[Howard Moon]

at least they don't call a traffic light a robot like South Africans...

its like the height of their technological robotic advances

a box that has three lights to tell traffic what to do, what is this wizardry???

It is a Parmi! And it’s also called Fritz!

The use of the term "Parmi" is unforgivable.

South Australia is a great place to visit.

It's a disgraceful term and only makes the person saying sound like an unintelligent life form.

Number 1 rule with pronouncing foreign words is if it sounds stupid, e.g. "Montagna" instead of "Montanya" or "Parmi" instead of "Parma", it should not be used.

You're either doing it wrong or the context is so far gone that using it should result in reevaluation of everything you know.

It's almost as bad as "shiraaaaz".

It's called hyperforeignism. It's a thing, and it's actually kind of hilarious. Typically it's an exaggerated "French" accent that people try to use... except they use it on for example Spanish or German loanwords. Not only do you sound stupid in English, you sound stupid in the language it came from too!

Parmigiana [PARMIgiana]

Case Settled

https://newmatilda.com/2018/02/08/great-australian-debate-chicken-parmi-parmy-parma/

my rebuttal is thus..

Eggplant Parmigiana, or Veal Parmigiana, is an original Italian recipe. Eggplants/Veal are lightly breaded, fried, topped with fresh tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese, and then baked. ... it originated in the northern Italian city of Parma – hence the name, which means “In the style of Parma."

ill have my parma in the style of parma, grazie mille.
ciao.

[DapperJong]

Guys let's not turn this player thread into the food thread.

It’s about Francis and his cultural issues

 

[dnbassador]

When Hooker is back do we push Francis up forward? Or will it stunt his development

Depends on how he pronounces Parmigiana.

 

[Lore]

Don't think pushing him outside his comfort zone is a good idea atm, at least from the outside looking in. He's played five games at the end of last year and two this year so far. Let him settle at AFL level in defence, where he's comfortable and happy. With the issues he's had in the past keeping him on the park and enjoying his footy should be the first priority. If he's comfortable going forward then that's a different story

 

[dnbassador]

Yeah good point specially with a contract coming up plus Hooker is one of few that doesn’t get unsettled having to go forward or back.

It's parmi for the bogan bunch here
