Wait, I just realised something. Isn't sabot a french word?


"The name "sabot" comes from a French word for wooden shoes traditionally worn in some European countries, also called clogs."

I guess it is.
I have a solid reason why the word is pronounced "sah-bow"

A sabot, the shoe, is the root word for "sabotage". The Dutch used to kick s**t to death with their shoes as an act of sabotage.

I've always pronounced sah-but, and then I saw a Mythbusters episode say "sah-bow", so now I use that pronunciation.

'Cause we all know that everything we see on TV is right, noo?

If what I have said offended you...


I hear it pronounced as "say bow" but my grandpa pronounces it "say bot".

@ Freak I used to pronounce it "carb eye n" xd

... then it was probably intentional.

I've always said "Hop-ees". That way when I say I'm a "hoppesoholic", people know I don't mean beer. Really though, that's just what I grew up with.
