Then all y’all scritchers git huffy and shout “it’s Loo-uh-vul”#Jeopardy pic.twitter.com/btcrmry9gR— Terry Meiners ™️ (@terrymeiners) March 20, 2024 I never liked Amy Schneider after this blatant Ls Down slur was foisted upon the viewing audience. Good riddance, Ames!

Matt Damon can’t pronounce Louisville
Matt Damon can't commit to a sensible pronunciation of Louisville. On 30 Rock, no one on the production team reshot this scene where Damon says LOO-uh-ville. Hillbillies say LOO-uh-vul. People with self respect say LOUIE-ville. The city is named after King Louis XI. There is no King LOO-uh. Ville is vill. Villanova. Villain. The Ville. Stop being a poser. If you can muster the energy to correctly pronounce Taylorsville Road and Shelbyville Road then work a little harder to say Louisville with a shred of self respect. And now here are some bloopers from Between Two Ferns. Good night. Let yourself out.
Is that fancy purse brand called LOO-uh vi-TONN? Is the arch in Saint LOO-uh? Is that song by The Kingsmen called LOO-uh LOO-uh?
I love this email exchange from 2013. You mad, bro? Yeah, she mad.

I find it so hypocritical that you never cease to tell your audience that we all should celebrate our differences – homosexuals/heterosexuals, democrats/republicans, U of L/U of K, whatever, but you have no tolerance for those of us who perpetuate
It’s universally called The Ville, not The Vul

I wonder whether someone could give him some Louisville lessons and tell him that it's West End here. Same goes for the reporters who talk about the SeelBOCK hotel. Anyway, I enjoy you. Keep up the good work!
