Actually, I was asking because I was listening to Hamish & Andy on the way home and some guy rang up and said U-RYNE-ALL .. and they didn't correct him or anything so I was thinking maybe it's just a Sydney thing?

If South Australians really do pronounce it "U-RYNE-ALL", then they're a lot more backward than I give them credit for.

Only taking the pee one five s mate.

Could be a Sydney thing!!

 

[ManWithNoName]

If someone says it U-RYNE-ALL I should be legally entitled to punch them in the face.

It's a piss trough. I don't use the other words.

I say u-rin(rhyming with bin)-al. I voted for the second one because that seemed most similar.

 

[TigerCraig]

Both "u-rin-al" and "u-ryne-al" used in Sydney.

I tend to use the first - the second more is common in posher areas.

Just so I'm getting this straight, people in Sydney say u-ryne-al with the ryne rhyming with 'whine'?

 

[BomberGal]

Both "u-rin-al" and "u-ryne-al" used in Sydney.

I tend to use the first - the second more is common in posher areas.

And also very incorrect, since there is no "e" in the word to make it rhyme with the "wine" sound.

Snobs may try to justify all their various inflections on "that's how the British do it", but in this one they would be very wrong.

As much as I love Sydney, that's the gayest thing I've ever read.

Getting all la-di-da about loos is wrong

How am I the only one who voted for the third option?

Given that there's only one vote for it on the poll, isn't the answer to your question kind of obvious?

 

[goodie]

im finding it hard to say over the text based web forum how i exactly say urinal.

I guess the argument is what comes out is called "u-rhyne" so where it goes is a "u-ryne-al"

some do, some don't

So you didn't pay any attention to what I said?

There's no 'e' in urinal, so that pronunciation would be wrong, regardless of where it came from.

I'm not arguing with you - I agree with you. I say "u-rin-al"

Doesn't change the fact that some people pronounce it the other way.

(potato/potahto, tomato/tomahto )

 

[Artie Bucco]

some do, some don't

As mentioned earlier those people need to be punched

Who on earth says potahto?

Anyway it's not variation, saying 'urine-al' is ****ed.

 

[Magnum]

People who say u-ryne-al seriously must be taking the urine.
