How to say Tidioute?

[Buckaroo Knives]

I know this is a stupid question but can anyone write Tidioute out phonetically. I have no idea how to say it.

According to the folks at SMKW you pronounce it Tee-Dee-You. Whether that's correct or not I couldn't say for sure, but enough of them pronounced it that way to make me believe they were correct.

 

[bld522]

Yeah. But they also pronounced "abalone" abalown instead of abaloknee and they regularly butchered Bob Terzuola's last name terra-zoola. So I wouldn't put a lot of faith in their pronunciations.

I believe it is pronounced tiddy-yoot. I've never heard it said any other way.

:thumbup:

The name is an Iroquoian word meaning "protrusion of land", referring to a sharp bend in the Allegheny River.

Tiddy-oot is indeed current!

Ok this has me all out of sorts. For so long now I've wondered about this and finally resolved to myself a pronunciation. Now this new bit of information has my mind reeling, lol

I used to think it was a place where the tide went out.Unfortunately it's too far from the sea for that.
I've adopted it as part of my daily shouting at the kids daily ritual . "Boys, can you tidy out yer rooms " or "get those schoolbags tidied out will ya please. NOW! NO! NOOOOOW!"

I f there is one thing I've learned from my Aussie flatmate, it's that Australians have a shortened version for every word (pushy, footy, cardie, sunnies, Meako, you name it) so I am curious, what is Australian for Tidioute?

I am thinking that the shortened version would be a note from the mods in your private box!

Hilarious exchanges fellers - didn't want to quote the entire page! :thumbup:

Well done Charlie!

I'm sure you could already pronounce it Paul - along with carry-oot! :thumbup:

 

[meako]

Best first guess would be something along the lines of ...
"Ay Meako , can ya grab me Ooty out of the Ute? Ta mate.""no wukkin furries":thumbup:
We tend to use a version of rhyming slang as well.
Ay sweetie.dont suppose theres any chance of a tiddyoot (root)?
Apology in advance if thats non compliant.

This is correct. I've been to the town of Tidioute many times when I was a kid, an uncle used to have a camp there. This is how the locals said it.

 

[incision]

Yep tiddy-yoot. Went to deer camp there in the 60's and 70's. Remember seeing that super cool modern Buck 110 there. Good times, miss my beloved Western Pa.

I asked the pretty lady who was in the booth at the Spirit of Steel show in Knoxville in August of 2011,she blushed a little and replied "tiddy out".
