[Ads-l] Wunderkind > wonder-kind

[W Brewer]

WB, 6 Mar '19: << <Wunderkind> [ˈvundɐʁˌkʰɪnt] --> <wonder + kind>
[ˈwəndɚˌkʰɑind].
Laura Ingraham referred to AOC's financial assistant as a [ˈwəndɚˌkʰɑind,
wonder + kind]. Fox News, The Ingraham Angle. >>
WB, 21 May '19: Laura Ingraham again says [ˈwəndɚˌkʰɑind, wonder + kind],
this time in reference to Mayor Pete Buttigieg. At least by this time, the
spelling pronunciation is deliberate, tickling my funny bone no end. Stick
that in yer acorn pipe & smoke it.
Wikip << Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg ( /ˈbuːtɪdʒədʒ/ BOOT-ih-jəj) ...
The surname Buttigieg is of Maltese origin. It is derived from Arabic kunya
أبو الدجاج (Abu d-dajāj), meaning chicken owner or poulterer. >> Rich
hunting ground for phonetic diversity, starting with Wikip's [BOOTY-judge],
no ifs, ands, or butts about it.
-----WB.
