DP and I can't agree.

Short or long O?

I say the o as in lock, DP says o as in oar.

I say Oreo with a short "o"

My DH says "oh-reo" like the O in OJ

Oar-ee-oh. I grew up in the US and that's how I remember saying it then?

MissMaple82 · 11/06/2021 20:46

O reo

Oreo is an American brand, so I pronounce it as they do : OAR-ee-oh, with the emphasis firmly on the first syllable.

oar-ee-oh

Didn't realise there was any other way to
say it!

O-rio with an O like in Oscar.

I'm now singing Holly Johnson's 'Americanos' in my head...
