The Traveler Posted July 4, 2009 This only works in dutch but it really rhymes with caapi (yes, really): aapie (means little monkey) slaapie (a person to share your bunk with, normally in a non-sexual way. A military thing I believe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teotzlcoatl Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Sappy? Gabbie? Happy? Crappy? Lassie? Oppie? Pappy? Yuppie? Edited July 4, 2009 by Teotz' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted July 4, 2009 The double aa is pronounced either as a long drawn out 'a' or as a double a, but never as a short a as suggest by teotz. ie, it has to rhyme with harpie, but not with sappie. The -pi is pronounced as -pee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teotzlcoatl Posted July 4, 2009 Hmm... so I'm pronouncing it wrong? Ca-ApI? Does anybody have a link to a recording of somebody saying "Caapi"... I'd like to hear the word! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted July 4, 2009 Ca-ApI? that doesn't look right either. read the previous post!!! it's either ca-a-pee or caa-pee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
