The Reese's/Reesees debate

ASmallWonder · August 2012

My brother and I had a funny little online chat last night about how annoying it is when people call them reesees peesees. There is no such word as peesees so if you were going to guess the two words were meant to rhyme, wouldn't you start with the word that's, you know, a WORD. He got goofy and wrote "Better yet "ermahgerd peanoot booter coops.'" and I snorted my coffee.

So, what say you? Reese's Pieces or the annoying Reesees Peesees?

Ok but take it out of this context. If you were serving me pie, would you say "How many peesees of pie do you want?" You seriously say "peesees?"

EllaHella:

No. It would be more like peesus (rhymes with Jesus.)

So I would actually say "Resus Peace-us". But yea, Reece's and pieces would be pronounced similar and rhyming.

That I'll accept as a reasonable pronunciation due to your accent But I will not accept people acting like "peesees" is a word. It's not. I judge.

I actually say reesees peesees...I have no idea why. I don't say any other word (pieces) like that, but for some reason, I've always said it like that since a kid and I guess it stuck. Saying it the correct way just sounds weird now. I can try though...for TB's sake. Big Smile

yep this.

I get made fun of a lot for how I pronounce certian words like "clearance" I say it like the name "clarance" or "cigerettes" I say "cigerRATS". I am so lame.
