I've Been Saying It Wrong!

[barry1010]

Such a short word to mispronounce but I've just found out I've managed to.  How do you say it?

AGUE

 

 

 

[brainiac]

It's ay-gyew, as in the Shakespearean character Sir Andrew Aguecheek in Twelfth Night

[tomus42]

It's obviously a two syllable thing to those of us that studied twelfth night at school. 

Sir Andrew Aguecheek was the characters name I think.

[Countrylover]

Ayg grew as per 

[Countrylover]

Ay gyew for me too.

[Countrylover]

Forget my first answer!

[Smowball]

I've never heard of it lol!

[Old_Geezer]

I don't think you should ague about it.

[Ken4155]

Do any of us actually ever say this word out loud? The only time i ever see this word is in crosswords and i've certainly never heard anyone say it.

[barry1010]

As I said earlier, my family has always used it in a jokey way when someone is exaggerating a cold.  He's got the ague

 

[ToraToraTora]

I'd say agg-yew.

[davebro3]

aygew - never thought of it any other way

cf - Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Twelfth Night) 

[10ClarionSt]

I've never used that word and I've never known anyone who did.  

[retrocop]

'Fever'does the trick

[THECORBYLOON]

"I get an ague that's so hard to bear
You give me ague"

Hmmm...

[Captain2]

No-one tried Gin and Ague-tree tonic?

[Peter Pedant]

the 12th night fella is

aig-cheek isnt it?

[douglas9401]

Don't be vague, ask for Haigue.

What did Shakey know anyway?
