It's only 7 if you stretch Limerick to 3 syllables for poetic licence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2021 Isn't Limerick always three syllables? Lim-ar-ick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought it was three and sat here like a mad man repeating it to myself. Googled it and the Internet says it's three and everyone knows everything you read online is correct. https://www.howmanysyllables.com/words/limerick How many syllables in limerick? 3 syllables Divide limerick into syllables: lim-er-ick Stressed syllable in limerick: lim-er-ick How to pronounce limerick: lim-er-ik Edited January 4, 2021 by Rds1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2021 It may be accent dependant but it's generally spoken with 2 over here. Edit : and it's also the most predictable VT post ever that someone would argue a pronunciation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2021 Definitely 3 syllables in my world. But my (irish) mother would definitely pronounce it "Lim-rick" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 There’s three syllables, but it being Limerick the third one was probably stolen. (More seriously, it should be two. The Irish version Luimneach is pronounced “Lim noch”.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a true story, Mrs T brought it for my birthday (which is today actually) Tried it out on Sunday. Bloody foam is still on the drive this morning, luckily there is a bit of snow still around so it doesn't stand out too much. People walking their dogs were laughing as they went passed Edited January 11, 2021 by Robtaylor200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
