Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I'm not a HP fanfic reader, so it wasn't until this week that I realized the popular-fic-turned-serial-numbers-filed-off-published-novel "Manacled" is pronounced "man-ah-kuld" and not "mank-eld".

For quite awhile I thought the fic was titled "Mancled" and that "mancled" was a British slang my dumb American ass didn't know lmao

[(Anonymous)]

LOL! I could see that, OP...

"Let's get a curry takeaway, I missed lunch and I'm absolutely mancled!"
"Nigel had four large gin and tonics last night and had to be carried home, he was utterly mancled."

Had you never encountered the word manacle or manacled before?

I have so many words that I only learn I have been pronouncing wrong in my head when I say or hear them aloud for the first time, and sometimes that first time is years and years after first encountering the word in a book!

[(Anonymous)]

It's not a commonly *spoken* word, really.

(For some reason I am reminded of a cartoon where a character pronounced "misled" as "mizzled", rhyming with "chiseled".)

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt and I suppose you're right! I am once again reminded that my family is an odd one, I can definitely remember us playing fantasy games where we'd put manacles on the prisoners or whatever. We were a weird bunch.

[(Anonymous)]

Occasionally in books, but rarely "manacled" as an adjective. It's just not something that comes up at all in conversation, but then I lead a very boring life!

[(Anonymous)]

So you missed the second A? ManAcled.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I have certainly mispronounced a lot of words I've only seen written, but I would have gone for MAN-a-cld or man-ACK-ld before MANK-led.

I love this secret its so cute

And here I thought Manacles was the toxically masculine version of Heracles.
