How do you pronounce forehead?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

Fore-head or forrid?

I’ve always said fore-head but I’m currently listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks and Stephen Fry says forrid and it’s really annoying.

Which is correct? Or is it one of those regional things? (I’m in Lincolnshire)

Fore Head

I say forred, I'm from the Midlands.

Also from the Midlands and I say fore-head 🙂

For-head

Forehead. Of course surely!

I say fore head. Exactly how it reads.
But it's forred in my midlands town.

Forrid. SE, originally.

Ooo it's forred. I never noticed that before.

I say fore-head with fairly equally weighted syllables but I’ve heard very posh folk say “FORRud”.

For head, midlands

Forrid is the original pronunciation but it seems to be slowly disappearing. I always use it because I think of the poem.

Once there was a little girl,
Who had a curl in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very very good,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

I think I say both!!!. So i might say ugh ive got a sweaty forred, but "the headache is behind my eyes and in my forehead".

Or perhaps I just don't know how to talk 😅

Fore head, or forred, both are correct IMO. Just like two-pence or tuppence

Hehe that was one of my Dad's regulars (i have curly hair). He went to the same aort of school as stephen fry i think!

Forrid

Yes!! That how I always say it. My parents say the same.

Forrid, Midlands

For head. I’m a Londoner.

Fore-head but extended family members say forrid / forred

I say fore head but with the poem I say forrid.

I'd never even noticed that before. Now I've confused myself. 😂

Forrid is the posh pronunciation (which is why Stephen Fry is saying it and I expect the King would too). I'm West Country and we all say fore-head down here.

S'ya forred, innit 😉

Forr-head. Midlands Ireland.

I think I say fore-head but the other day for some reason I said Forrid and dd16 nearly died laughing. I’m in Ireland, I think the older generation here say forrid.
