Default Boge - Proper Pronunciation?
I've always called them Bogh, until recently someone whom I respect greatly in the 928 community called them Bogey (ala Humphrey).

So what's the proper way to pronounce Boge shock absorbers?


duh - I didn't include this choice (type a reply if that's your choice):

Bogey

"(Bogus) - (s)" (NO reflection on their quality!)

Interesting. I would have never guessed that. Kind of like the proper pronunciation of ****** as in the Jeep. It's pronounced Willis. It wasn't until last year when I realized I was saying that wrong my entire life. But regardless I still say Will'ees' 😊

Why is it so difficult for you Americans to pronounce a proper "e" at the end of a word?

'Cuz English is such a conglomeration of other languages. There really aren't any pronunciation 'rules', or 'code', just 'guidelines'.

Cough
Through
Bough
Dough
Enough

Once you get to a proper noun (name), all bets are off.

Actually they are now Sachs and the Boge name disappeared a long time ago.
Maybe better to know the correct pronunciation of Sachs.
Why the picture shows up side down I have no idea.

So I thought I'd go to the authoritative on-line source, the Urban Dictionary, to see what it says. Not disappointed.

Exactly. The world's largest creole language.

Life is much easier if you purchase Ko Knee or Bill Styne shock absorbers

Forget Bo Gee
