[Ads-l] RES: /hud/

[David Daniel]

Southern California, 1960's. The hoods (rhymes with goods) were the guys who
smoked cigarettes out behind the gym and took shop. All the Grease
characters woulda been hoods (rhymes with goods) to us.

Did it originate as a spelling pronunciation, I wonder?  I've certainly =
heard both /hud/-lum and /hUd/-lum and I can't even be sure which I say, =
but (growing up in NYC in the 50s) I've only ever heard /hUd/ as in =
