Pronunciation of "Gorst'

[VTEC John]

This is of zero significance and even less interest, unless you're sick of hearing that Matchroom Brit refer to Fedor as though his name rhymes with borscht (the food). There is a consonant in Russian that sounds exactly like our "sh" sound, but it doesn't occur in the Russian spelling of Gorst. It's Gorst like it looks, with a weird little aspiration on the "t" that English speakers wouldn't hear anyway. C'mon Matchroom. Howard Cosell could do better.

 

[Black-Balled]

It is pronounced 'Sade'.

 

[billiards_watch]

Just as it is spelled. It's an English name.

Gore, or like gorgeous then with -st

Gor-st.


If I were him the only thing I may change is from Fedor to Fred or Theodore -or- Ted. Since he's an American now.

Fred Gorst
Freddie Grost
Teddy Gorst
Ted Gorst

I feel like we just tread this ground with the last event.

 

[Bob Jewett]

In New York it rhymes with moist.

 

[billiards_watch]

I will ask him when I see him. I don't know when he will ever come to Hard Times again.

Ask him what he feels about Fred or Ted.

Can’t Phil just say, “I’m not pronouncing it wrong. I have an accent.”

What's interesting is that the Russian speakers in that link have so many variations. I assume that's different dialects from within a very large country, just my guess. I'm sure the one course I took would have made him FED-or, or maybe FAY-dor. Regardless, he sure strokes straight.

Is she saying Fyodrr? Kristina Tkach says Fedder, probably a cross between that and Fadder would be ok. IDK.

She probably calls him more than that. Like a “No good, lazy, tired, boring, son of a…”. When he forgets to take out the trash.

This reminds me of Mike Siegel calling Efren Efrem. Such a dickhead and rightly nicknamed The Mouth.,,

No idea about Nick.
What Siegel did was repeatedly mispronounce Efren’s name. He did that to be a dickhead.

There’s no way that Mike did not know exactly how to pronounce Efren’s name. It’s not like he did not know who Efren was ..
He was showing his ass by way of his mouth.

The incident I recall was during the IPT event while Efren was running over him like he was an APA 6..

The dude is talking about it live

 

[MattPoland]

Phil Yates on commentary apologizing for mispronouncing Fedor’s name all this time after reading AZB and then asking Fedor.
