Motor-cycle

Bi-sickle

Motorsickles harvest three times as fast as manual sickles. Pretty sure I've heard that.

[–] ftbd@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago

Like the greek hero, Motorcycles

Real answer: Motor-Cycle, but Bi-Sickle. It's interesting how "motor-sickle" doesn't sound weird and I wouldn't bat an eye if someone else says it that way, but if someone said "Bi-Cycle" I would make a face.

I like to throw the glottus in there whenever possible. Nice glottal stop right between the mo-tow and the sickle.

[–] s@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s either a moat or a cycle

Only Arlo Guthrie says motor-sickle

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I don't want a pickle

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

m'tersickle.

It's harder to pronounce, and no-one can understand it.

mow-tow-cy-cle

bike or bye-sickle

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 3 points 1 day ago
