How do you pronounce "Norfolk?'

 

[fantasycurse42]

I feel options 1 and 4 are very similar sounding.

 

[dgreen]

Probably more like "Norf-uck", rather than "Nor-####".

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Nur####

 

[Rove!]

Other: Nor-fork. I know it's wrong, but there is a Norfolk, NE and that's how a lot of people around here pronounce it.

I am trying to change the way I say it to Nor-folk.

I added this one to the poll, so you can change your vote...

 

[saintfool]

somewhere between nor-foke and nor-####.

 

[Hang 10]

I live 10 minutes from Norfolk and we call it Norfuk.

 

[Don Quixote]

Probably more like "Norf-uck", rather than "Nor-####".

I voted for Nor-####, but I agree with this. A schwa would probably more accurate.

Does it count to pronounce it multiple ways?

Norfuk, MA

and

Norf-folk, VA

Grew up near Boston, don't have any sort of Boston accent, but you pickup the pronunciations of the words.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

This is getting out of control. No one gives a #### how people pronounce Norfolk. Please keep these threads to relevant words.

 

[VA703]

L is silent

 

[xulf]

Nor-fulk

 

[matttyl]

Naa-####, if you've lived there your whole life.

 

[jon_mx]

Norfolk N'-Weigh

 

[glumpy]

Nawfuk

maybe with a little of the 'r' in there.

 

[matttyl]

Norfolk N'-Weigh

In my dynasty league, based out of the 75 area code (Hampton Roads), we put the lowest 5 teams from the previous year into the "lower division" and call it Norfolk N Way (as in their shot at the title).

I guess Nor-fick is not how you pronounce Norfolk.

Any Virginians here got the correct version?

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

Norf-uck

 

[tommyboy]

Was stationed there, it's nor-####

 

[Apple Jack]

Just barely graze the l.

Easy: don't drink, don't smoke, nor ####.

Anyone that says Nor-folk, Nor-fork, Naw-####, Norfick are not from around here.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Lived there - nor- ####

Nope

 

[otb_lifer]

naw-fook (as in 'book')

 

[Slapdash]

What is the difference between Nor-folk and Nor-foke?  Do people actually pronounce the L in Folk? 

Answered Nor-####

I pronounce it Sem Fye Sem ( or 757 for you white people)

 

[Insein]

Probably more like "Norf-uck", rather than "Nor-####".

Not the way I pronounce it but the locals in VA pronounce it like this.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Nah-####

 

[3C's]

Definitely not Nah-####. Unless you're one of those weird talking New Englanders.
