HarvDog Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 How do you pronounce SABOT? I've heard it pronounced several different ways so I'm curious... - SAY BO (like to "say" something and "Bo" Derek) - SA BO (like "sa"ssafras and "Bo" Derek) - SAY BOT (like to "say" something and a ro"bot") - SA BOT (like "sa"ssafras and a ro"bot") Or maybe even something completely different.

AaronS Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Re: \"SABOT\" pronounciation I've heard that the correct pronunciation is "say-bow". Around here no one would have a clue what you're talking about. I pronounce it "sa-butt", sa as in sassafrass, butt as in, well that one is self-explanitory.

Palssonater Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Re: \"SABOT\" pronounciation Here's a useless piece of information. Sabot is a french word for shoe, a certain type of wooden clog worn by settlers. The word Sabotage comes from the fact that the workers in factories would "Sabot"tage the equipment for whatever reason. Just toss a wooden shoe in the mix and all heck breaks loose! Saa Bow is the correct way to say it I believe. I saw Saa Bot just to make em frenchies mad...ha ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Re: \"SABOT\" pronounciation It is a french word, in fact. Pronounced say-bo (like Say Bo Derek whatcha doing later on tonight)! However, being a French word, it is--as are all french words--some derivitave of the French word for surrender! New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
